Here’s what you’ll learn: - How your nervous system may influence the severity of your perimenopause symptoms and earlier menopause - The surprising connection between stress, detoxification, and stubborn belly fat - Why stress can wreak havoc on digestion, bloating, and SIBO symptoms - Why combining GLPs can produce better results - How strategically using keto days may support metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity - The relationship between insulin and cortisol that so many women overlook - How backloading your calories and carbs could change the way you sleep - How nutritional manipulation on a GLP-1 may help when weight loss seems to stall - What’s potentially problematic about NAD+ and MOTS-c and why you might not be the candidate you think you are - Why stool testing can provide important clues when weight loss resistance doesn’t make sense Substack: https://carrotsncake.substack.com/p/im-46-here-are-9-things-i-wish-i STACKED: GLP-1 + Peptide Support Membership https://www.skool.com/stacked-glp-1-peptides-8761/about Apply for coaching: https://forms.gle/JT74yhBgxQZRQvgZA https://Elliemd.com/Carrotsncake Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @…","meta_description":"In this episode, Tina welcomes back integrative medicine practitioner Curtis Gillespie Sayers for an honest, nuanced conversation about why fat loss can f…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2718,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fit-fueled-life-podcast-3384413/episodes/ep346-why-fat-loss-feels-so-hard-the-metabolic-roadblocks-you-might-be-missing/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fit-fueled-life-podcast-3384413/ep346-why-fat-loss-feels-so-hard-the-metabolic-roadblocks-you-might-be-missing.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
