Stephanie breaks down: • Why your body no longer responds to dieting like it did in your 20s Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, muscle, stress, and inflammation change how your metabolism interprets a deficit. • The real reason fat loss stalls Most women don’t have a calorie problem — they have a calorie utilization problem. • What MUST happen before a deficit works Learn how to reopen fat-burning pathways by improving liver function, lowering cortisol, stabilizing blood sugar, improving digestion, and protecting muscle. • How to create a deficit the right way Small, sustainable drops… protein prioritized… carbs used strategically… lifting over punishment… sleep + recovery as non-negotiables. • When dieting is actually the WRONG move High stress, poor sleep, inflammation, and long dieting history all mean: fix function first. This episode shows you how to finally make fat loss predictable again — by matching your strategy to your physiology today.
