You’re eating better. You’re moving more. But the scale isn’t budging, and your energy’s tanking. What gives?

 

In this week’s Monday Mile, Coach Kevin and Coach Jess uncover one of the sneakiest saboteurs of weight loss, muscle gain, and good health after 50: chronic stress.

 

They break down what stress is really doing inside your body (hint: it’s not just mental), how it's wrecking your metabolism, sleep, and decision-making - and most importantly, what you can do about it starting today.

 

Whether you’re constantly wired or just feeling worn down, this episode will give you the tools to reclaim calm, boost recovery, and finally start seeing the results your efforts deserve.

 

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why your body can’t tell the difference between a saber-tooth tiger and a bad boss
  • The hidden ways chronic stress blocks fat loss and muscle gain
  • How stress impacts sleep, cravings, inflammation, and decision-making
  • Why "eating clean" won’t work if your nervous system is overloaded
  • Simple, doable strategies to lower stress - even on your busiest days

 

🛠️ Practical Tips Inside:

  • The power of a short daily walk
  • Deep breathing to shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”
  • How gratitude, journaling, and planning can lower stress and boost results
  • Why managing stress isn’t just for your brain - it’s for your body composition too
