Ep346: Why Fat Loss Feels So Hard: The Metabolic Roadblocks You Might Be Missing

In this episode, Tina welcomes back integrative medicine practitioner Curtis Gillespie Sayers for an honest, nuanced conversation about why fat loss can feel so difficult, even when you feel like you’re doing everything “right.” Drawing from Tina’s own experience with ulcerative colitis, chronic stress, and the process of learning to pay attention to her nervous system, they explore metabolic resistance, perimenopause, gut health, GLP-1 medications, keto days, carbohydrate timing, and popular peptides including MOTS-C and NAD+. Here’s what you’ll learn: - How your nervous system may influence the severity of your perimenopause symptoms and earlier menopause - The surprising connection between stress, detoxification, and stubborn belly fat - Why stress can wreak havoc on digestion, bloating, and SIBO symptoms - Why combining GLPs can produce better results - How strategically using keto days may support metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity - The relationship between insulin and cortisol that so many women overlook - How backloading your calories and carbs could change the way you sleep - How nutritional manipulation on a GLP-1 may help when weight loss seems to stall - What’s potentially problematic about NAD+ and MOTS-c and why you might not be the candidate you think you are - Why stool testing can provide important clues when weight loss resistance doesn’t make sense Substack: https://carrotsncake.substack.com/p/im-46-here-are-9-things-i-wish-i STACKED: GLP-1 + Peptide Support Membership https://www.skool.com/stacked-glp-1-peptides-8761/about Apply for coaching: https://forms.gle/JT74yhBgxQZRQvgZA https://Elliemd.com/Carrotsncake Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N’ Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).
