She emphasizes the importance of these tools in guiding your health journey without getting obsessed with the numbers.
Instead, she encourages a holistic approach, focusing on overall well-being rather than just metrics. Whether you're new to the idea of metabolic health or looking for fresh insights, Dr. Weiss's expertise offers valuable guidance. Tune in to learn how you can take charge of your health with simple, effective strategies.
