You were probably taught that cardio is the fastest way to lose weight.

Run more. Burn more. Sweat more. Shrink more. And for a long time, that felt true.

In this episode, I’m breaking down when cardio supports your health… and when it quietly turns into a stressor that keeps you stuck in obsession.

We’ll talk about:
• Why cardio is a stress on the body (and when that matters)
• The cortisol conversation most women overlook
• Why burning more calories doesn’t automatically mean better results
• How strength training impacts your metabolism differently
• The mindset shift that determines whether cardio is empowering or punishing

Cardio is not the enemy.

But if you’re using it to burn off food, chase skinny, or quiet anxiety… it might be reinforcing the exact patterns you’re trying to heal.

Fitness should add to your life, not take from it.

This episode will help you figure out the difference.
