What if the reason you’re gaining fat, losing muscle, feeling mentally fried, and aging faster has less to do with effort — and more to do with stress? In this episode of The Ageless Alpha Podcast, Scott Meyers breaks down the hidden physiological effects of chronic stress and why it may be one of the biggest drivers of poor performance in modern men. He explains how elevated cortisol can interfere with testosterone, growth hormone, metabolism, sleep, appetite regulation, and even brain function. The result can look like stubborn belly fat, reduced strength, low energy, poor focus, and faster aging. Scott also shares practical ways to fight back, including training, sleep, recovery work, and reducing constant information overload. If you want to understand what stress is really doing to your body — and how to take back control — this episode is for you.
