The Real Weight Loss Coach

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your weight loss goals has nothing to do with what you're eating? Chronic stress is running silently in the background of most people's lives — and it's doing serious damage to your body's ability to burn fat, sleep well, and make good decisions around food.
On this episode we covered:
Why your body can't tell the difference between a lion attack and an email from your boss — and what that means for your waistline
The smoke alarm analogy that perfectly explains why your stress response is working against you
How cortisol and adrenaline directly trigger fat storage and block fat burning
Why doing more — more gym, more fasting, more saunas — may be the worst thing you can do when you're already burnt out
The one thing most people feel anxious or guilty about that's actually a sign your nervous system needs it most
Why the "calorie deficit" crowd is missing a massive piece of the fat loss puzzle
