The busiest women often do everything “right.”

They eat clean-ish, train & push through.

And yet... belly fat won’t move.

In this episode, I explain why.

It’s usually not laziness.

It’s not genetics.

It’s stress load.

We break down:

1. How chronic cortisol affects cravings, sleep, and recovery

2. Why “doing more” can actually slow fat loss

3. The connection between blood sugar, stress, and stubborn belly fat

4. The common mistakes high-performing women make

5. A simple 3-lever system to stabilize energy and improve fat loss long term

If your body feels stuck despite effort, this will make it clear.

Because your body doesn’t reward hustle.

It rewards safety and structure.

HIIT (high intensity interval training) is the most misunderstood concept in the fitness industry.

In this episode, I break down why long cardio often backfires for fat loss, especially for busy, high-performing women, and why more effort doesn’t automatically mean better results.

We talk about:

• why steady-state cardio sends a weak metabolic signal

• how your body actually uses glucose and fat

• the “drain & refill” model behind intervals

• why recovery is the secret weapon

• and a simple, beginner-friendly interval protocol you can actually stick to

Less punishment. Better signal.
If you’re short on time and want real progress, this episode is for you.
