Why does the scale refuse to budge even when you're doing everything right? In this eye-opening episode, Sarah Williams teams up with Dr. Berg to uncover the hidden reason your body might be fighting against weight loss - and it's probably not what you think.
On Fuel Different, we break down how stress hormones like cortisol can sabotage your best efforts, increasing belly fat storage by up to 400% compared to normal levels. You'll discover why sleep deprivation jacks up cortisol by 37% while slashing fat-burning hormones in half, and learn how chronic stress literally slows your metabolism by 11-15% - that's 100-200 fewer calories burned per day. Dr. Berg reveals the surprising connection between B-vitamin deficiencies and stubborn weight, plus shares his science-backed strategies to reset your hormones and get your body working with you instead of against you.
