The Hidden Genetics Keeping You Fat

BEN PAKULSKI
About this episode
In this powerful episode of the Muscle Intelligence Podcast, Ben Pakulski reveals why fat loss isn't a level playing field. Your ability to lose fat, control cravings, and handle stress is deeply influenced by your genetics and understanding that is the first step toward real transformation.

5 Bullet Points:

  • How genetics influence fat loss and stress response
  • Why emotional coping drives overeating
