If you’ve been tracking your macros, lifting consistently, and doing all the “right” things, but still feel like your body isn’t responding... this episode will help you understand why!

Your metabolism isn’t broken, but it is adaptive. And if you’ve spent years in a calorie deficit, dealing with high stress, poor sleep, or inconsistent recovery, your metabolism is simply responding to the signals it’s been given.

In this episode, Jess and Jill break down:

  • What actually determines your metabolic rate (and why it’s not just about age)
  • How dieting, stress, and low energy availability suppress metabolism
  • The key differences between metabolic damage and metabolic adaptation
  • What needs to change before your body starts responding again
  • How to build a more efficient, flexible metabolism without extremes

If fat loss feels harder than it used to, there’s a reason. Tune in for the science, the strategy, and the real-life application!

Reviews are everything! We'd love for you to drop us a 5-star rating and anything you want to share if you enjoyed this episode!
