140. The Sentence You Tell Yourself Every Morning That's Keeping You From Losing Weight

About this episode

Dr. Ashley reveals how a common self-sentence can sabotage weight loss and discusses the science behind stress hormones and fat storage.

In this episode, I reveal the one sentence you may be telling yourself every morning that is quietly sabotaging your weight loss by triggering cortisol, raising blood sugar, and keeping your body in fat storage mode. As a PhD in sports nutrition and metabolic health, I break down the science behind stress hormones, belly fat, insulin, and leptin resistance, and show you how shifting your self-talk can lower stress, stabilize hormones, and finally unlock sustainable fat loss. I just released another video that walks you through exactly how to lose weight rapidly without wrecking your hormones or crashing your energy.
