So many women are told to just eat less and work out more and honestly I relate to that more than anyone.
During my first prep, I was doing 2 hours of cardio a day, eating barely over 1000 calories, constantly pushing harder, and I still wasn’t losing weight.
I remember feeling so frustrated because I truly felt like I was doing everything right. I had the discipline. I had the work ethic. I was willing to push.
But what I didn’t understand at the time was that my body was already under so much stress.
Looking back now, it makes so much sense. My labs showed chronic stress patterns, hormone imbalances, mineral depletion, gut dysfunction, poor recovery, and a nervous system that had been stuck in overdrive for years.
You can eat the perfect diet.
Train until you’re blue in the face.
Take all the supplements.
Do everything ‘right.’
But when your body is dealing with deeper imbalances, it often stops responding the way you think it should.
