250. Let's talk about stress and weight gain

from Help Me Understand · host JK McLeod

Episode 250 of the Help Me Understand podcast takes on a belief you’ve probably heard (or even said yourself): Stress makes you gain weight. Coach JK breaks it down in simple terms and challenges that idea.Instead of pointing to stress as the villain, this episode explores how stress (whether short bursts or long-term) shifts the choices you make around nutrition, sleep, and exercise. JK explains how the nervous system works, why people often call it “stress weight,” and what’s really happening when daily habits start slipping.You’ll walk away with practical ways to track patterns, adjust when life feels overwhelming, and use feedback as a compass instead of letting stress set the direction.
