  • Eating Less Isn’t Always the Answer: Gut Health, Blood Sugar & PCOS with Rebecca Labaki

    Eating Less Isn’t Always the Answer: Gut Health, Blood Sugar & PCOS with Rebecca Labaki
    May 28 2026

    In this episode of The Weigh In, Steve sits down with Rebecca Labaki, the nutritionist behind Renutrify, to unpack why weight loss is often more complex than simply “eating less.”

    Rebecca breaks down the links between gut health, blood sugar, cortisol, insulin resistance, cravings, belly fat, and PCOS, and explains why many people plateau despite trying to diet harder, train more, or cut calories lower. They also discuss why food quality matters, what ultra-processed foods do to the body, how late-night eating can affect blood sugar, and why your biology—not just your willpower—can shape your results.

    The episode also covers common wellness myths, including plant milks, oversupplementing, insulin spikes, post-meal walks, and the 80/20 rule. Rebecca’s approach is practical, direct, and rooted in helping people understand their bodies rather than blame themselves.

    Topics covered:
    Gut health, blood sugar management, PCOS, insulin resistance, cortisol, cravings, weight loss plateaus, ultra-processed foods, supplements, post-meal walks, and practical nutrition habits.
