EP02 - The Metabolism Trap: How Dieting and Toxins Wreck Your Results with Kate Mills

May 07, 2025

Show Notes

What if the reason you’re struggling to lose weight isn’t that you’re eating too much — but that you’re not eating enough?

In today’s episode, host Katherine Rose is joined by integrative health expert Kate Mills for a deep, eye-opening conversation about the hidden factors sabotaging women’s health. From Kate’s journey as a professional athlete battling undernourishment to uncovering the critical roles of detoxification, metabolism, and internal stress — this episode will forever change how you view weight loss, healing, and root-cause wellness.

If you’re a woman in your 30s, 40s, or 50s tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and misunderstood by the diet industry — this conversation is your wake-up call.

Key Topics Covered:

  • How under-eating, even unknowingly, can destroy your metabolism
  • Why "eating less and moving more" backfires for women in midlife
  • The silent damage of toxins and why detoxification is essential for true healing
  • How stress — especially internal stress — blocks weight loss and healing
  • How to truly nourish your body: eating whole foods, supporting detox pathways, and restoring metabolic health
  • Why you must address parasites, mold, heavy metals, and toxic load for lasting wellness
  • The connection between fat cells, toxins, and inflammation (it’s not just about calories!)
  • Easy daily strategies to kickstart your metabolism and reclaim vibrant energy
