11. Stressed, Eating Less, Still Gaining Weight? Here’s Why *Metabolism Series 3
from You're NOT Crazy, You're Exhausted · host Tiffany Flaten
If you’re doing everything “right” but your metabolism still won’t budge, stress might be the real reason. In this episode, I’m breaking down how hidden stressors... like under-eating, poor sleep, overtraining, blood sugar crashes, and everyday overwhelm that keeps your body stuck in survival mode. And when your body is in survival mode? Fat loss is not the priority. I walk you through how chronic cortisol spikes lead to belly fat, cravings, muscle breakdown, and that frustrating “wired but exhausted” feeling.I also call out the sneaky signs your body is under too much stress (hello 3pm crash and 2am wake-up) and why pushing harder is actually making things worse. Then I flip it, because I’m giving you simple, realistic ways to calm your system, support your metabolism, and finally start seeing progress again. Think: balanced meals, better sleep, smarter workouts, and working with your body instead of against it.Connect with Me… Tiffany FlatenIf you’re feeling dismissed, unheard, or stuck in the cycle of “your labs are normal”, and you’re ready to get your life back… start with a free clarity call.
