Is it your diet or is your exercise program that's not working? What if it is neither? What if it is the stress you are under?

Georgi Dinkov is back on the podcast to talk all things stress, weight gain and why until you address the stress, everything else is a waste of time and energy.

We will discuss:

The role estrogen plays in weight gain

The role cortisol and estrogen play together

The stress response in the body as it relates to hormones

Endocrine disruptors and endotoxins and their role in weight gain.

Finally get the answers to why the weight won't budge.
