Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

Fat loss always comes down to being in a calorie deficit, but that doesn't mean everyone responds to dieting the same way.

In this episode, I explain why women often have a larger stress response to calorie deficits and what that can look like during a fat loss phase. I’ll also cover why pushing harder isn’t always the answer and how your starting point, recovery, training, and nutrition can all play a role in your results.

If you've ever felt like fat loss gets harder the longer you diet or wondered why the same approach works for some people but not others, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and what you can do differently.
