    S02 E50: Breaking Free From Yo-Yo Dieting with Shannon Hagel

    The holidays can be a tricky time for women balancing skin health, weight concerns, and overall well-being. In this episode, we’re sitting down with Shannon Hagel to unpack the interconnectedness of acne and weight challenges many women face—especially during this time of year. Together, we explore the deeper health issues at play, the emotional ties to food, and how to ditch the quick-fix mindset for a more sustainable, empowered approach. We dig into why these two struggles often go hand-in-hand and the underlying health factors—like blood sugar imbalances and hormonal shifts—that contribute to both. It’s not about blame or guilt; it’s about understanding what’s happening inside your body. This conversation is a reminder that your health journey isn’t linear, and that’s totally normal. Whether you’re managing skin flare-ups, weight fluctuations, or just trying to keep it all together during a busy season, small, intentional steps can make a world of difference. You don’t have to go it alone—we’re here to help you navigate it all with grace, balance, and a whole lot of encouragement.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried everything and still struggled to see results, you’re not alone - Hannah’s story will definitely resonate with you.
