In this episode, we talk about:
- Why stress hijacks your hormones (and how cortisol plays the villain)
- How to shift your mindset and take back control
- The truth about fat loss vs. weight loss—and why your scale might be lying
- Key metabolic roadblocks like liver overload and hormone disruption
- Food sensitivities, histamine overload, and childhood immunity challenges
You'll walk away with actionable steps, hope, and the reminder that you are not stuck. You can heal. And we’re here to help. 💡
