Episode 008 - You're Doing Everything Right: So Why Are You Still Gaining Weight?

Episode 008 – You’re Doing Everything Right… So Why Are You Still Gaining Weight?

You’re eating clean. You’re moving daily. You’re tracking, fasting, sleeping, supplementing—and still gaining weight.

It doesn’t make sense. And it’s frustrating.

This episode reveals why your body might be holding on to fat even when you’re “doing everything right.” Because weight gain isn’t always about calories—it’s often about safety.

🔬 Inside this episode:

Why your body stores fat when it feels under threat (even if your intentions are healthy)

• The role of redox imbalance, inflammation, and mitochondrial downshift in unexplained weight gain
• Why fasting, HIIT, and even “clean eating” can backfire when your biology isn’t ready
• What leptin resistance, cortisol, and gut-liver signaling have to do with your weight
• How to stop forcing fat loss—and start shifting the signal your body is responding to
• What actually works to restore metabolic trust, turn off the internal alarms, and unlock release

🎯 If you’ve tried everything and nothing’s working, this isn’t your fault. It’s your biology asking for a different approach.
