Are you doing "all the right things" but still not seeing the results you want?
This episode is for you if you've watched the healthy eating videos, you're exercising regularly, you're getting decent sleep, but the scale isn't budging and you're feeling frustrated and stuck.

Dr. Orlena delivers some necessary hard love by revealing there are only two possible reasons you're not getting results - and neither one is what you think. She exposes the hidden hormonal saboteurs like cortisol and insulin that can keep you trapped in a vicious cycle, even when you're doing everything "right."

But here's the game-changer: what if weight loss isn't actually your real goal? Dr. Orlena shares the powerful mindset shift that transforms frustration into freedom, helping you break free from the succeed-fail cycle that's keeping you stuck.

You'll discover why your brain might be misdiagnosing your emotions, how unrealistic expectations are sabotaging your progress, and why focusing on health and wellness instead of the scale means you're always winning.

The three core insights that will transform your approach:

Why consistency might not mean what you think it means
How to shift from weight-focused to wellness-focused thinking
Why your mindset is the hidden factor sabotaging your results

If you're ready to stop the cycle of frustration and start thriving, this episode will give you the clarity and framework you need to move forward with confidence.
