## Resource

Ever feel like you start summer with the best intentions and somehow end August feeling like your body is completely working against you? The scale is up, your energy is crashed, your cravings are spiraling, and you have no idea why. Here is what nobody is telling you: summer does not just change your schedule. It changes your cortisol, your sleep, your eating patterns, and your body's signals. And most women have no idea it is happening. In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on exactly why your metabolism works against you every summer specifically, not just in general, but the summer-specific patterns that are quietly slowing your fat loss down. We are talking about why saving your calories for nighttime is destroying your metabolism, why grinding through intense workouts in the summer heat is making things worse not better, and why the chaos and stress of summer is one of the biggest metabolic disruptors of the entire year. These are the exact patterns I lived as a camp counselor, starving myself all day and binging at night, and exactly what changed when I finally understood what summer was actually doing to my body. The same shift that helped me lose 65 pounds and keep it off for 16 years through every summer since. Your metabolism is not broken. Summer is just harder on it than any other season. And once you know why, you know exactly what to do. Press play and let's give your metabolism the signals it has been waiting for all summer long. xoxo, Jackie MORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?
