You did what they told you to do—ate less, moved more, maybe even went keto, vegan, carnivore, or gave up dairy. You tracked every bite and pushed through workouts you hated. So why do you feel worse—or heavier—than ever?
In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness:
👉 Your body is responding—it’s just trying to survive.
We’ll talk about:
Why your body doesn’t respond to willpower
How to tell if you’re stuck in survival mode
What your body actually needs to feel safe enough to let go
The real difference between controlling your body and rebuilding trust with it
If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, this one’s for you.
This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing it differently.
Let’s get into it. 💛
