Forget quick fixes — inflammation is the real root cause blocking fat loss, energy, and hormone balance. Everyone’s talking about Ozempic & GLP-1 drugs for weight loss… but what if there’s a way to lose fat, heal your body, and feel amazing — without the side effects?

In this deep-dive episode, David & Dale Cross sit down with Dr. Bradley Morris to reveal a smarter, sustainable path to health:

1. Why all diets “work”… until inflammation stops them
2. Daily weigh-ins as an inflammation meter (not a guilt trip)
3. Intermittent fasting explained — and when to avoid it
4. Cortisol’s hidden role in belly fat, poor sleep, and hormone crashes
5. Food swaps that reduce reactions (wheat, pasta, fruit, “free foods”)
6. Peptides explained (amino acids, not drugs)
7. The power of digestive enzymes, hydration, and gut health
8. Why metabolic age is the true health marker — and how to reverse it
9. The truth about Ozempic: side effects, sustainability, and what happens after you stop

💡 Practical. Hopeful. Sustainable. Dale shares her real story of losing 45 lbs in 4 months without drugs — and keeping it off.

👉 If you’ve been tempted by quick fixes but want a proven playbook to feel good again, this episode is for you.
