3 Things to Check If You’re at a Weight Loss Plateau
Jun 30, 2025Are you doing everything right but still stuck at a weight loss plateau?
You’re eating healthy, staying active, and watching your calories—but the scale won’t budge. It’s frustrating, discouraging, and probably making you question your metabolism—or even your willpower.
In this episode, we’re revealing three critical blood markers that most doctors don’t check (or overlook entirely) that could explain why you’re not seeing results. Ignoring them doesn’t just keep you stuck—it could put you on the path to diabetes or heart disease.
We’ll show you what these markers are, what “normal” ranges to aim for, and how to start taking control of your results—without resorting to extreme diets or punishing workouts.
If you’ve hit a plateau and don’t know what to do next, this episode will give you the answers you’ve been missing.
