Running is often praised as one of the best ways to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health. However, for many, consistent running might lead to stagnation on the scale. What’s hidden behind this frustrating paradox? 🤔
In this piece, we delve into the unexpected influence of the hormone cortisol and how excessive running can trigger hidden stress signals within the body. The result? A slowing metabolism, heightened fat storage (particularly in the belly), and a disruption in hunger and energy levels.

It’s clear that integrating strength training and prioritized recovery is essential for achieving and maintaining fat loss. Additionally, it’s important to rewire your training structure to align with your body’s natural fat-burning systems.
If you’ve found yourself plateauing in your fat loss journey, despite everything you’re doing right, this information could be the breakthrough you need. Get ready to understand your body in a completely new light!
