Summary

What if being too lean was actually working against your health?

On today's show, I break down the five major physiological impacts of dropping body fat too low and how it can silently disrupt your hormones, metabolism, and overall vitality.

You'll learn why staying below your ideal body fat range can wreak havoc on your hormones, weaken your immune system, reduce muscle mass, and ultimately lead to burnout and fatigue.

If you've ever pushed yourself to maintain a "fitness ideal" that left you feeling drained instead of strong, this episode will help you understand where true balance lies.

Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3575 to discover how to find your optimal body fat range for long-term health, energy, and longevity.

Enjoy the show!
