Are they being used as energy — or stored as fat?

The truth is, your body isn’t a simple math equation. It’s a metabolic system made up of 8 key players that decide what happens to every bite you eat.

In this episode, I break down:

- The 8 systems that determine whether your body burns or stores calories — mitochondria, thyroid, liver, adrenals, pancreas, gut, muscles, and hormones.

- Why under-eating, overtraining, and stress can shut down your metabolism even when you’re “doing everything right.”

- The real reason your body doesn’t feel safe enough to burn fat.

- What to do to turn your metabolism back on — no more guesswork, no more punishment.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s just responding to how it’s being treated.

When you support these 8 systems, your body stops storing and starts trusting you again.

✨ You were designed to burn, build, and thrive. Let’s help your body remember that.
