If you’ve ever tried a strict diet, lost weight fast… and then gained it back, this episode will help you understand why and what to do differently.

In today’s episode of the Discover Health Podcast, Dr. Joshua Sharp interviews Lisa Franz (M.S. Exercise Science, Health Promotion & Nutrition), owner and head coach at Nutrition Coaching and Life and host of the Nutrition and Life Podcast.

Lisa has coached 350+ clients using evidence-based strategies for sustainable fat loss, body recomposition, and metabolic health, without telling people to give up travel, social eating, or the fun parts of life.

We talk about:

Flexible dieting and how to build food freedom without all-or-nothing extremes

Why people regain weight after dieting (and the “after plan” most people miss)

Nutritional periodization (fat loss → reverse → maintenance)

Simple meal planning for busy families (without cooking 4 separate meals)

Travel nutrition tips (protein, steps, and staying consistent)

Resistance training vs cardio for fat loss and metabolism

If you’re a busy mom trying to lose fat and keep it off long-term, this one is for you.
