185// Your Body Is Not a Machine: The Ne...

About this episode

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths about weight: 👉 Your body is not a machine. It's not just calories in, calories out — it's a living, responsive, neurobiological system.

If you've been doing everything "right" — eating clean, tracking your food, meditating, maybe even doing vagus nerve exercises — and still feel like your body is stuck or resisting weight loss… this episode will explain why.

We’ll dive into:

  • What neurobiology actually means and how it influences your weight

  • Why your body stores weight even when you’re not eating more

  • How dieting and restriction wire your nervous system to see food and weight as threats

  • The real science behind leptin resistance, cortisol, vagal tone, and emotional suppression

  • Why disconnecting from your body’s signals is a protection pattern — not a personal failure

  • How to begin healing, rewiring, and reconnecting so your body feels safe enough to release what it no longer needs

This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop controlling and start healing — because sustainable weight loss starts when your nervous system finally feels safe.

✨ Ready to go deeper?

Join my 12-week group coaching program — where we combine nervous system healing, subconscious reprogramming, emotional release, and manifestation to help your body finally feel safe enough to let go of the weight it's been holding.
