Dr. Joey Munoz is a nutrition and fitness expert with a PhD in nutritional sciences who helps people cut through the noise around weight loss, metabolism, and training to build healthier, stronger bodies without extreme diets or unsustainable routines. In this episode, Joey joins me to break down the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose weight and why doing “everything right” can sometimes leave you feeling more frustrated with your body. We talk about why you can actually become more critical of your appearance as you get closer to your goals, the concept of perception drift, and how to get leaner and change your body composition without necessarily losing more weight. He shares the order of operations he recommends for anyone who wants to change their body, what to prioritize in the gym as we age, and the habits people who effortlessly maintain a lean physique tend to have in common. We also get into the truth about calories and metabolism, whether yo-yo dieting really damages your metabolism, why low-carb diets often backfire, how to use macros without becoming obsessive, and why breakfast may matter more than you think. Joey shares practical ways to actually hit your protein goals, the supplements that are worth your money, the diet and fitness trends he thinks are completely overrated, and his prescription for what to do when you feel like you’re doing everything right but still aren’t seeing results.
