Achieving Great Gut Health with Dr Alan Desmond

This week Rachael discusses the 'STOP MAKING EXCUSES' trend that is seen on social media. Is making progress with your weight loss goals really as simple as just 'stop making excuses'?

Any good coach will never ever tell you to stop making excuses.  There are, however, times in your life where you will need to pull your socks up and get on with it - but we all know that life isn't always as simple as that.
