Why do some people store weight in their belly while others gain it in their hips? Turns out, it's not random - it's all about which glands run your body. In this episode, Sarah Williams breaks down how your dominant glands control everything from where you pack on pounds to what you're craving at 3 PM.

On Fuel Different, we explore the four main body types and what makes each one tick. You'll discover why adrenal types store 80% of excess weight around their midsection (thanks, cortisol), how thyroid types can swing 10-15 pounds in a single week, and why ovary types go crazy for sweets right before their period. Plus, we tackle why liver types wake up exhausted even after eight hours of sleep. This isn't about fitting into boxes - it's about understanding your body so you can actually work with it instead of against it.
