Episode 172: Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss - Why You’re Not Seeing Progress (PART 2)

from Life Rewired · host Kristina Turnure

In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina unpacks why you might be “doing everything right." Tracking macros, hitting your workouts and steps, eating clean, and staying hydrated, without seeing a change on the scale. She explains how chronic under-fueling, paired with overtraining, can spike cortisol and stall fat loss, why hidden calorie surpluses occur on weekends, and how a lack of progressive overload in workouts can leave you spinning your wheels.Beyond calories, Kristina dives into hormonal hurdles (think estrogen dominance, thyroid imbalance, high cortisol), gut inflammation that impairs nutrient absorption, and the impact of poor sleep and unmanaged stress. She wraps up with four actionable steps to help you achieve the progress you're after on your own fitness journey.
