Stop guessing. See if your metabolism is in "Protection Mode" by checking the right markers.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

🟩 You are waking up at 5:30 AM for spin class. You are skipping breakfast. You are eating salads. And yet... the scale hasn't moved in months. In fact, you feel puffier and more exhausted. You are not imagining this. And it is not a lack of discipline.

🟩 In this episode, we decode the "Metabolic Brake." We explain why the standard advice of "eat less, exercise more" can sometimes backfire, causing your body to switch from burning fat to storing it.

🟩 You will learn about a specific adaptive mechanism involving Reverse T3—a "placeholder key" that blocks your cells from receiving energy when your body perceives stress or scarcity.

🟩 This video is about understanding your physiology, not just counting calories.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN

➡️ Why your thyroid is like a thermostat that turns down when "funds" (calories) are low.
➡️ The difference between Free T3 ("Gasoline") and Reverse T3 (" The Brake").
➡️ How intense cardio (HIIT) can spike cortisol and block fat loss in stressed women.
➡️ Why "puffiness" isn't always fat—it might be myxedema (metabolic fluid retention).
➡️ How to send "Safety Signals" to your body to restart your metabolism.
