A Calorie is Not a Calorie: The Truth About Energy & Weight Loss

“Just eat less and move more.” If you have PCOS and you’re tired of this oversimplified, soul-destroying advice that NEVER works for you—this episode is your game-changer.

You are not broken. You are not lazy. And you are not imagining the struggle. The truth is, your body operates by a different set of metabolic rules, and the outdated “calories in, calories out” model is failing you.

You will discover:

• The 3 Scientific Reasons Why 100 Calories of Salmon ≠ 100 Calories of Soda: (Hint: It involves metabolic pathways, the thermic effect, and hormonal chaos).
• The Vicious PCOS Cycle Unlocked: How insulin resistance acts as a giant “STORE FAT” signal, creating a biological barrier to weight loss that willpower can’t overcome.
• The Circadian Rhythm Secret: How eating the exact same meal at 9 AM vs. 9 PM leads to drastically different results on the scale.
• The 6 Evidence-Based, PCOS-Friendly Strategies to finally work with your biology, not against it, including how to prioritize protein, time your meals, and choose carbs that love you back.
