Episode Details

You've been eating less and training harder, but the scale still isn't moving the way it should. If you're a woman who's been stuck in the same cycle of cutting and losing and gaining it back, and you're starting to wonder if your metabolism is just broken, this episode is for you.

Coach Tijana breaks down what metabolic capacity is, why chronic dieting quietly works against you, and what she learned from her own prep and reverse-diet journey about eating more, building muscle, and finally achieving body composition results that last.

You don't have a broken metabolism. You have an underdeveloped one, and the way out is not what you think.
