Most women think the solution to weight loss is finding the missing piece.

Maybe it’s hormones.
Maybe it’s cortisol.
Maybe it’s a supplement.
Maybe it’s the “perfect” workout.

But the truth?

Most women are skipping the boring basics that actually drive fat loss and health.

In this episode, Nikki breaks down the order of operations for fat loss and explains why chasing advanced strategies before mastering the fundamentals keeps women stuck.

Before macros, supplements, or complicated workout programming can matter, the basics have to be in place first.
