36. Why What Used to Work Doesn’t Work Anymore
About this episode
If you’re over 35 and have found yourself thinking,
“Why isn’t what used to work working anymore?” ...this episode is for you.
There was a time when tightening up your food, adding cardio, or extending a fast created quick results.
Now you can do the same things, sometimes even more consistently, and the scale barely moves or doesn’t move at all.
In this episode, we unpack why.
It’s not a discipline problem.
It’s not a motivation issue.
It’s physiology.
I walk you through the “beaker” analogy to explain how stress quietly accumulates over time including sleep disruption, emotional strain, training stress, responsibilities, and even growth and success.
When your system is already carrying more than it used to, adding more deficit, more fasting, or more cardio doesn’t accelerate fat loss.
It tells your body to conserve, not release.
