About this listen
Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.
You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life.
In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol is slowing your metabolism, messing with your hormones, and blocking fat loss.
I’m also sharing my personal journey of healing from adrenal fatigue, how I reinvented my lifestyle for real recovery, and my go-to De-Stress & Rest Ritual that flipped the switch on my nervous system and got my body into fat loss mode.
🧠 It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s on your mind.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why your weight loss is stuck—even if you’re doing everything “right”
-
How high cortisol blocks fat loss and protein synthesis
-
What it really means to regulate your nervous system (beyond bubble baths)
-
My De-Stress & Rest Ritual to flip your body into fat-burning mode
