Latest podcast: A holistic approach to weight loss with Emma Sutherland & Kira Sutherland

In this week’s podcast episode, naturopathic sports nutritionist Kira Sutherland identifies the complex issue of weight loss and elaborates on the multifactorial issues that we as healthcare professionals must identify and manage with our patients to ensure effective treatment outcomes. 

fx Medicine by BioCeuticals ambassador Emma Sutherland joins Kira to identify these issues, and offer up clinical knowledge, as well as look at the latest research which identifies the underlying drivers of weight gain and a loss of metabolic flexibility.  

Together they look at the role of metabolic and mitochondrial health for optimal body composition, delving deep into the role of hormones and the underlying pathophysiology associated with weight loss, fasting, mitochondrial dysfunction and changes to metabolic health throughout the lifespan.  

Kira and Emma cover off the complex pathophysiology, while also coming back to the more basic practices of calorie counting, anthropometric measurements to track and manage weight, and other individual factors we  need to be aware of when working with our patients to optimise treatment outcomes, and empower our patients to understand the therapies that work best for them.
