229: How Hormonal Imbalances Stall Fat Loss (And How to Spot the Signs)

OVERVIEW: Feel like you're doing everything right but the scale won’t budge — and you’re more tired, bloated, and frustrated than ever? You're not alone, and you're not doing anything wrong. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how your hormones directly impact fat loss — especially during perimenopause and midlife. We’re talking estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and cortisol… and how imbalances in these key hormones can sabotage your progress even when your nutrition and workouts are on point. I'll also share the common signs to look for if your hormones are out of balance, and what steps you can take to address them — starting with my signature coaching framework: The Three Phases of Transformation — Repair, Rebuild, and Results.   TOPICS DISCUSSED:  The truth about estrogen dominance and how it shows up in your body How low progesterone impacts your mood, cravings, and sleep Why cortisol and thyroid issues can keep your metabolism stuck in survival mode How to spot the signs of hormonal imbalance and what to do next Why testing — not guessing — is key to long-term, sustainable fat loss     RESOURCES: Click here to schedule your FREE alignment call to see if my 1:1 coaching program is a good fit for you: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/7de98067/appointment/18062930/calendar/4677043?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=18062930 Click Here to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program  https://metabolicfix.purfitstudio.com/one Take My PHASE ASSESSMENT QUIZ HERE: https://www.metabolicfix.com/phase-quiz Follow Ashley on Instagram: @ashley_fillmore1 Join Ashley's FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/635528110302527Email us at: [email protected]  Want to see which one of my programs is the best for you?
