Summary
Calories tell only half the story. In this episode I uncover the real drivers of stubborn fat, cravings, and stalled muscle: estrogen, cortisol, insulin, and leptin. Learn how these four hormones decide whether you burn fat or store it, and hear the food, stress, training, lab, and peptide strategies that bring them back into balance so body recomposition finally makes sense.
