Summary

Are you eating clean, working out, and still not seeing the results you want?

If you’ve been told to just “eat less and move more,” but your body isn’t responding like it used to... you’re not broken. You’re likely just underfed, over-stressed, and metabolically adapted.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why eating more (yes, more) is often the missing link to sustainable fat loss
- How chronic dieting slows your metabolism and sabotages your hormones
- What “reverse dieting” actually is—and how to do it the right way
- The exact steps I use with clients to repair metabolism, boost energy, and finally lose weight without restriction

If you’re constantly stuck between burnout and body frustration, and you're ready for a smarter, hormone-supportive strategy that works with your metabolism… this episode is for you.
