Burnout Took Me Down—on a Plane: My Cortisol Wake-Up Call | MMP Ep. 175


Listen Later

The worst part is that I was sitting in the middle seat 🤢

I had NO idea I was this stressed but now as I review it all makes sense


While sharing my story I outline:

- Signs to watch for

- How it stalls fat loss

- How to get out of burnout and fat storage mode so you can finally lose fat for good

If you think that this might be the reason your fat burning pathway is turned off and why you can’t lose weight despite cutting calories book a consultation call here (https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and we will help outline the steps that will work best for you!
