146 | Why Your Body Won’t Let Go of Fat


Listen Later

If you’re not seeing results in the gym like you’d hoped, you might be overlooking one of the most common (and most ignored) fat loss roadblocks: stress.

In today’s episode, I’m answering a listener’s question: “Can stress really be the reason I’m not losing fat?”

We’ll walk through how stress affects your metabolism, what it’s doing to your body behind the scenes, and how to start reducing the hidden stressors that might be holding you back.

If you’ve ever felt like fat loss is harder than it should be—this episode is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why unnecessary stress stalls fat loss
  • What “metabolic safety” really means—and why your body needs it to release fat
  • How to perform a quick “stress audit” to identify what’s actually holding you back
  • The surprising way your metabolism reacts to high-stress environments
  • Simple, doable strategies to support recovery and make fat loss easier
  • Key Takeaways

    1. Your metabolism isn’t a calorie calculator—it’s a stress barometer
    2. Chronic stress lowers your metabolic rate, making fat loss feel harder
    3. Your body needs to feel safe to let go of stored fat
    4. Reducing unnecessary stressors is essential for progress
    5. Whether you’re burned out, doing everything “right,” or just feeling stuck—this episode will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot more simplicity.
