You train consistently. You walk, lift weights, and maybe even do cardio or Zone 2. You eat "clean," focus on protein, avoid junk—and yet fat loss has stalled, muscle feels harder to build, and your body looks softer than it should.
If that's you, this episode is for you.
In this deep-dive rabbit hole episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks why fat loss stalls in fit, disciplined, high-performing adults—especially in midlife—despite doing all the "right" things with exercise and nutrition.
Here's the truth most people never hear:
Fat loss resistance isn't a motivation problem. It's not a willpower issue. And it's rarely a simple calorie problem.
It's a root-cause, metabolic, and nervous system issue.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why fat loss stalls when your body shifts into metabolic protection
How chronic stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly suppress fat oxidation
Why "normal" labs don't tell the full story
How mitochondrial dysfunction blocks fat loss and muscle rebuilding
Why hormonal issues are often downstream effects—not the starting point
How poor digestion, bile flow, and incomplete elimination sabotage fat loss
Why more exercise and cleaner eating often make things worse
What Resting and Active Metabolic Testing (PNOĒ) reveal that standard tests miss
Coach Debbie explains how loss of FLOW—from nervous system dysregulation, depleted mitochondria, poor recovery, and blocked waste removal—causes the body to clamp down, conserve energy, and resist change.
You'll also learn why the solution isn't pushing harder, cutting more calories, or adding another protocol—but restoring the right order of operations:
✔️ Safety before stress ✔️ Energy before effort ✔️ Structure before clearance
When these systems are supported, the body stops fighting you—and results return.
If you're tired of guessing, stuck in trial-and-error, and ready to understand why your body is responding the way it is, this episode will change how you look at fat loss forever.
