TGB Ep 42: Is Cortisol Making You Fat?

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of fat metabolism and the role cortisol plays in it. We break down how fat is actually burned, how cortisol signals in fat tissue, and how different states of energy balance influence metabolic signaling. You'll learn how stress hormones like cortisol can affect where and how your body stores fat—and what needs to happen for true fat loss to occur. If you’ve ever wondered whether stress is sabotaging your fat loss goals, this episode will give you the science (and strategies) you need to finally understand what’s happening inside your body.
