Ep 06: Why You’re Gaining Fat Without Eating More (And How to Stop It)

If your jeans are getting tighter even though your diet hasn’t changed, this episode will connect the dots.
 I’m breaking down the silent hormone shift that flips your body from fat-burning mode into fat-storing mode — and why it’s especially common in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.

You’ll learn:

• The #1 signal telling your body to store fat (and why it’s not about punishment or lack of discipline)
• How insulin resistance develops quietly over time — even with “healthy” eating
• Why the same meal affects you differently at 42 than it did at 32
• The surprising role of muscle mass, estrogen, stress, and sleep in your metabolism
• Three simple, proven steps to lower insulin, stabilize blood sugar, and reignite fat burning

Whether you’re frustrated by stubborn belly fat, dealing with hormonal changes, or just want to understand your body better, this episode will give you the clarity (and strategy) to start working with your metabolism instead of against it.
