If you’ve bought every anti-inflammatory supplement on the shelf, and you're still puffy, stiff, and stuck - this episode is going to reframe everything. Stephanie breaks down what inflammation actually is, the difference between the healing kind and the kind quietly wrecking your fat loss, and the exact mechanism that locks your body in storage mode - plus why perimenopause and postmenopause pour fuel on the fire when estrogen leaves.

You will learn: What chronic low-grade inflammation actually is and why "anti-inflammatory everything" isn't enough to switch it off How inflammation jams your insulin and leptin signaling and nails the fat door shut The estrogen piece nobody explains why your built-in anti-inflammatory system goes offline in menopause Why belly fat is a "smoke machine" that feeds the loop, and why cutting calories and hammering HIIT make it worse The exact five-step order to calm the system so your body will finally let the fat go

This is not about more discipline. It is about the right order. Make your body good at burning calories again.
