Struggling to lose weight no matter what you try? 🤔 You’re not alone—and it’s NOT just about calories in vs. calories out. In this episode of the Aligned Wellness Podcast, Dr. Torrie Thompson breaks down the hidden weight loss mistakes that sabotage your results and what you can do instead to finally see lasting progress.

👉 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why toxins stored in fat cells block weight loss

✅ How hormones (insulin, thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, leptin) control fat-burning

✅ The truth about fasting and why it can backfire, especially for women

✅ Why strength training beats endless cardio for fat loss

✅ The role of inflammation and gut health in your metabolism

✅ Why “all calories are NOT created equal” (cookies vs. broccoli example)

✅ The most important daily habits to reset your metabolism

💡 Weight loss is more complex than dieting harder or exercising more. Once you understand how your body really works, you can start to heal, balance your hormones, and finally achieve results that last.
