Fat Loss Over 40 | Part 4: Chill Out to Slim Down
Welcome back to the Fat Loss Over 40 series with Dr. Jae Hitson! In this episode, we tackle the one thing that may be secretly sabotaging all your fat loss efforts: chronic stress.
If you're doing everything “right”—tracking calories, eating protein, lifting weights—but STILL not losing fat? This episode is for you.
In Part 4, you’ll discover:
✅ Why stress keeps your body in fat-storage mode
✅ The role of the autonomic nervous system (Fight-or-Flight vs. Rest-and-Digest)
✅ How cortisol levels impact metabolism and fat loss
✅ What to do if you're stuck in burnout and can't seem to recover
✅ Easy tools like box breathing to shift your body into fat-burning mode
✅ How to create a daily de-stress plan (even if you only have 60 seconds)
If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do… but my body isn’t cooperating”—this episode explains WHY. And what to do about it.
Your body can’t heal—or lose fat—when it’s in fight-or-flight. Learn how to flip the switch… and finally see results.
