Show Notes

In this episode, I share what happened when I spent 10 weeks living in Texas, and why, despite being a fitness coach, my weight still crept up. The experience forced me to confront something most fitness advice ignores: your environment plays a massive role in your fat loss success.

I break down how walkability, food accessibility, social pressure, and daily convenience can quietly work against you—especially if you live in the U.S.—and what you can actually do about it without relying on endless willpower.
