20 | The Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight: It's Not Your Workouts, It's Your Nervous System

Hey friend, If you’ve cut the carbs, ditched the sugar, and even started lifting weights, but your body is still refusing to let go of the fat, this conversation is for you. In this episode of Carnivore Lifestyle for Women, Cristina Clark, your Carnivore Lifestyle Coach, explains why chronic stress, not calories, often locks your body into fat storage and drains your energy, even when you eat low-carb and work out. She introduces the idea that your body is not ignoring you—it is just running on a panic setting. Cristina dives into the new security protocol your body needs, showing you how to install three simple protocols to reset your nervous system: Protocol 1: The "Label and Lower" Technique to interrupt the negative thought loop. Protocol 2: The "Vagus Nerve Reset" (a 60-second pre-meal pause) to signal safety and maximize nutrient absorption. Protocol 3: The "Trust-Based Schedule" to build a gentle, predictable rhythm of sleep, movement, and simple meals. This episode will help you see that the answer is not more effort, but more safety. You will walk away with a clear understanding of why your nervous system is overriding your best efforts and a single, simple practice you can start this week to tell your body the crisis is over so it can finally begin to let go.
