    Series 2, Bonus Episode - Why does my weight plateau?Understanding set point, metabolism & the body’s thermostat
    Aug 7 2025

    This episode is for you if you’ve ever started losing weight and felt motivated — only to hit a point where nothing seems to work anymore, and the scales won’t budge — you’re not alone.

    That’s called a plateau — and it’s completely normal.

    I’ll talk about the following topics: -

    • What is a weight loss plateau?
    • What is your metabolism?
    • The body’s thermostat — your set point
    • Whether you can you change your set point
    • What can help during a plateau?
