from The Pursuit with Patricia Berenzon · host patriciaberenzon

If you work out but still don’t see the results you expect, you feel like you’ve tried cardio, weightlifting, Pilates, “doing more,” “trying harder” and you’re still feeling inflamed, puffy, or confused about your body… this episode is for you.In this episode of The Pursuit, I’m sharing how I finally lost body fat and built muscle after 12 years of doing it the wrong way — and why the problem was never a lack of discipline, motivation, or effort.I talk about:• why overtraining and forcing intensity kept my body inflamed• how redefining what “exercise” means completely changed my results• the biggest fitness mindset shift that helped me stay consistent• why walking became my #1 non-negotiable• how sleep, recovery, and stress impact fat loss more than people realize• why training hard while under-eating backfires• how to work with your body and hormones instead of fighting them• what my actual fitness routine looks like now• building a fitness routine that helped me reverse PCOS• how to work with your cycle, not against it• and why consistency beats intensity every single timeThis episode is meant to support you if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like your body isn’t responding — because chances are, your body isn’t broken. It just needs a more aligned, intuitive approach.🎧 This episode pairs with last week’s nutrition + hormone episode, where I break down the importance of protein, fuelling your body properly, and building a healthier relationship with food to support your fitness goals.If this resonated, send it to a friend who’s quietly struggling with their routine and if you’re committing to a 90-day reset, I want to know!!
