If you've been trying to lose body fat year after year and keep hitting the same wall, you might be dealing with true weight loss resistance. In this episode, Alex walks you through his personal step-by-step checklist to assess what's actually holding you back, so you can finally see the fat loss you've been working for.
He breaks down how digestion, hormonal function, sleep, and stress all influence fat loss, and how your relationship to training and nutrition will only strengthen when these are dialed in.
And if you're still stuck, he explains how your environment and close relationships may be playing a bigger role than you realize.
As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
