Fixing Hormones by Eating More Fat

Why is it that the last 10–15 pounds are ALWAYS the hardest to lose? In this episode, we break down one of the most frustrating parts of fat loss: hitting a plateau when you're doing everything "right."

We explain: • What a metabolic wall actually is • Why eating less and doing more eventually stops working • How your body adapts to calorie deficits • Why you may be losing muscle instead of fat • The power of reverse dieting and building your metabolism

Most people try to cut their way out of a plateau…

But the real solution?

👉 You need to build your way out.

C15 from Fatty15, the first emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in more than 90 years. It is an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness, and you guessed it: healthy aging. Based on over 100 studies, we now know that C15 strengthens our cells and is a key healthy aging nutrient, which helps to slow biological aging at the cellular level. In fact, when our cells don't have enough C15, they become fragile and age faster. And when our cells age, our bodies age, too. Fatty15 is a science-backed, award-winning, patented, 100% pure C15 supplement–it's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, allergens or preservatives. Fatty15 has 3x more cellular benefits than omega-3 or fish oil. By replenishing our cells with the crucial C15 nutrient, fatty15 effectively repairs cells, reverses aging at the cellular level - and restores our long-term health and wellness. Fatty15 is clinically proven to raise C15:0 levels, resulting in lower cholesterol levels, healthier liver function, improved gut microbiome health, and improved red blood cell health within 3 months. You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit with code "mindpump" Fatty15 is on a mission to optimize your C15 levels to help support your long-term health and wellness - especially as you age.
