When diets don’t work: Digging Into Functional Root Causes of Weight Loss Resistance
from The Revive Wellness Podcast · host Allison Fahrenbach
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—tracking, eating clean, training hard—but the scale won’t budge? In this episode, we’re digging into some of the functional root causes of weight-loss plateaus- the things that make the ‘calories in, calories out’ model feel broken. Because while that equation still matters, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Hormones, stress, gut health, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic adaptation all play a role in how your body actually responds to that math. Today we are going to dive into all the behind-the-scenes systems that impact how your body uses- or holds onto- fat. Because sustainable change isn’t just about cutting calories, it’s about fixing what’s under the hood. If you’ve been doing everything ‘right’ and still feel stuck, this one’s for you!I will be discussing:The GutHormone Balance Loss of Muscle Mass or just Low Lean Body MassSystemic InflammtionChronic Infections or Stealth PathogensToxic Burden or Poor DetoxificationSleep Deprivation or Circadian Rhythm DisruptionUnder eating & Over Exercising (Metabolic Adaptation)Blood Sugar ImbalanceRoot Cause Concierge is Live!
