Welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast.

I'm your host Ben Pocolsky.

Today we're going to talk about fat loss and why there absolutely are genetic differences that you must know about if you want to maximize your ability to lose fat.

First, I want you to know something important. We are not all created equal.

It's really unfortunate to watch people on social media shaming people who are overweight,

who have a hard time losing fat, because you really don't understand, even people who are

quote unquote experts in fat loss aren't looking at some of the most important variables when

it comes to understanding how people's unique physiology influences their outcomes. So after

spending the last 18 months diving deeply into genetics,

I have a different level of understanding.

And to be honest, a different level of compassion for people who are overfat,

overweight, and really have a hard time controlling what goes into their mouth.

And now, you'll have a lot of people shaming people online saying,

well, you just got to control what goes into

your mouth and you got to control what you eat. And here's the thing that you should know as a fitness

influencer and experts or even someone looking to lose fat. It's not a level playing field.

Someone's ability to control their impulses, someone's ability to or predisposition propensity

to be anxious, overwhelmed, live in a constant state of

adrenaline, and then self-medicate with things like alcohol and food is absolutely genetically

influenced. I'm going to get into that today on this podcast and so much more. When you and I experience stress, let's say that we walk into an

incredibly stressful situation. Not all stress is created equal on the inside. We're all perceiving

this differently. So let's say we walk into a situation and someone is threatening us and we're different people.
