There's a concept you've probably heard before — set point.And in the world of dieting, it's often explained in one very limited way:“Your body prefers a certain weight.”But in this episode, I expand that idea into something far more honest… and far more empowering.Because your set point isn't just about your metabolism.1. Why Weight Always “Comes Back”You'll hear I intentionally use the term weight loss — and explain why that language matters.Because what we lose, we subconsciously try to regain.That's why:You can lose 20 pounds… and gain it backYou can try different diets… and end up in the same placeYou can feel like you're doing everything “right”… and still feel stuckIt's not a lack of discipline.It's that your body is returning to its current set point — the environment it recognizes as “normal.”2. Your Body Is a Reflection of Your Internal EnvironmentThis episode anchors into a powerful truth:Your physical body reflects your internal environment.That includes:Your weightYour aches and painsYour habits and self-sabotaging behaviorsThey're not random.They're signals.And instead of trying to control the body…I invites you to look at what's shaping it.3. The Biggest Lie About Set PointDiet culture teaches that your set point is determined by:MetabolismCaloriesExerciseMuscle massGeneticsAnd yes — those factors play a role.But they're not the full picture.Because if they were…changing your food alone would permanently change your weight.And for most people — it doesn't.4. Your Set Point Is Your Entire “Diet”And here's where everything shifts:Your diet is not just food.Your diet is:What you watchWhat you listen toWho you surround yourself withWhat you scroll throughWhat you tolerateWhat you repeatedly think and feelYour environment becomes your biology.5. Stress, Cortisol & Why You Feel StuckThis episode connects the dots between stress and weight in a deeper way.Because stress isn't just something you “feel.” It's something you consume.And it directly impacts your internal environment — which shapes your set point.So even if:You're eating “healthy.”You're exercising consistentlyIf your system is constantly in:pressurecomparisonanxietyurgencyYour body will adapt to that as your normal.6. The Invisible Influences You're OverlookingI call out something most people don't want to hear — but need to:Your set point is influenced by:Your friendsYour familyYour work environmentYour social mediaYour entertainment choicesIf your environment constantly triggers:comparisoninadequacypressure“not enough” energy…it reinforces a version of you that your body will reflect.7. Your Thoughts & Emotions Shape Your Set PointThis might be the most important piece:Your thoughts and emotions are part of your diet.If you consistently experience:anxietystressguiltshameoverwhelmThat becomes your internal baseline.And your body responds accordingly.Not because it's working against you —but because it's trying to stay consistent with what feels familiar.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Emily McDonald holds two degrees in neuroscience and has become one of the fastest-growing science communicators on social media. In this conversation, we explore how the brain constructs reality from the inside out — not as a passive receiver of the world, but as a constant prediction machine shaped by memory, belief, emotion, and past experience. From color vision to the kitten experiment, Emily brings the science to life in a way that makes you ask: where am I the kitten in my own life?What I love about this conversation is that it doesn't stop at the intellectual. Emily shares how understanding neuroplasticity moved her from skeptic to someone who radically rewired her relationship with identity, money, and what it means to pursue something with passion. We get into the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion, how identity sets a ceiling on what we're willing to receive, and why processing time — the unstructured silence we've largely lost — may be one of the most important things we can reclaim.Oneskin - Use code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% offhttp://oneskin.co/KNOWTHYSELFLimited time only!BiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro02:14 How the Brain Constructs Reality13:50 Rewiring Beliefs Around Abundance20:12 The Brain as a Prediction Machine21:35 The Default Mode Network and Self-Concept24:15 Science and Spirituality as Complementary Lenses27:09 Ad: One Skin30:19 Identity Beyond the Thinking Mind41:44 Ad: BiOptimizers42:52 Identity as the Set Point of Your Life45:39 The Neuroscience of Habit Change47:39 Desire, Fear, and the Energy Behind Goals1:07:03 Living from Feeling States, Not Outcomes1:13:58 Purpose Beyond the Self1:24:21 Nervous System Regulation as a Foundation1:27:52 Discipline as Self-Trust1:33:51 The Three M's Morning Routine1:39:05 Environment, Association, and Chemo Signals1:42:20 The Necessity of Processing Time___________Episode Resources: https://www.instagram.com/emonthebrain/https://www.instagram.com/planetempodcast/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Prof. Dr. Jörg Bojunga, Leiter der Schwerpunkte Endokrinologie, Diabetologie und Ernährungsmedizin am Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt und einer der führenden Experten für Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.Die Schilddrüse ist weit mehr als nur ein kleines Organ am Hals, sie ist das „Benzin der Zellen“ und der zentrale Schrittmacher für nahezu jedes Organsystem in unserem Körper.Doch in der klinischen Praxis herrscht oft eine gefährliche Diskrepanz: Während viele Menschen trotz „normaler“ Laborwerte unter massiven Symptomen leiden, werden andere unnötigerweise therapiert.Wir räumen mit veralteten Konzeptenin der Endokrinologie auf und analysieren, wie eine moderne, Schilddrüsen-Diagnostik und Therapie wirklich aussehen sollte.In dieser Folge erfährst du:
Your relationship patterns might not be a “chemistry” problem or a communication problem. They might be a nervous system problem. We talk about your consciousness set point, what I measure as SQ (soulful intelligence), and how the baseline state you live from quietly determines your perception, your choices, and the dynamics you keep recreating in love, marriage, family, and close friendships.We unpack how trauma can begin as an intelligent survival response and then turn chronic, lowering your set point until you interpret life through threat. From that wavelength, relationships tend to organize around reactivity, defensiveness, control, avoidance, emotional dependency, and enmeshment. I explain why many “toxic relationships” are sustained by shared operating levels, not just behaviors, and why simply leaving a painful situation without healing your internal operating system can lead you straight into the same dynamic with a different face.We also name a subtle spiritual trap: when low SQ makes pain feel virtuous and self-abandonment feel like patience. I challenge the rescuer narrative and the idea that you're responsible for another adult's healing, then lay out what higher SQ looks like in practice: boundaries with compassion, space between trigger and response, steadiness near dysfunction, and decisions made from self-worth instead of fear. If you want nervous system regulation, trauma-informed relationship healing, and a Ramadan mindset shift that actually changes your life, press play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs steadier love.

What if your strongest reactions weren't flaws but the echoes of an intelligent system that once kept you safe? We dive into the consciousness set point—your SQ—and trace how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn begin as wise survival and later solidify into identity when left unexamined. From there, everyday life narrows: neutral moments feel loaded, money and work spiral into scarcity or shutdown, and faith swings between intensity and burnout. The shift begins when we separate state from story and reclaim authorship inside emotion.Across this conversation, we show how worship functions as regulation. Salah, fasting, and dhikr become training that refines perception, widens the gap between stimulus and response, and helps you assign meaning deliberately rather than reflexively. Ramadan offers a daily lab: fast not only from food but from impulsive interpretations and victim narratives. Ask better questions—Is it still needed? Is it proportionate?—and watch your inner arena expand. That's taskiyah made practical: small, consistent inputs that raise SQ and restore clarity, humility, and steadiness.We also unpack how unhealed trauma shapes adult patterns: domination as a mask for fight, avoidance for flight, shutdown for freeze, and people pleasing for fawn. Underneath, a wounded sense of worth keeps yesterday's alarms running today's life. Responsibility isn't about blame; it's the choice to update the operating system. There is no neutral cruise control for the nafs—without active stewardship, it drifts downward. Healing honors what protected you then while refusing to let it define you now, so you can give from wholeness and lead with discernment.Listen if you're ready to upgrade your inner OS, pair devotion with nervous system wisdom, and move from automatic reactions to conscious authorship.

If you've ever picked up your phone to scroll for “just a few minutes” and looked up an hour later feeling drained and foggy, this episode is for you. You're not lazy or undisciplined. You're being pulled out of your own energy.In this episode, Toni talks about why she deleted TikTok off her phone and what she discovered in the months after. She breaks down the concept of an energetic set point and how social media quietly shifts yours without you realizing it. We talk about how scrolling puts you into a low-level trance state, making you more susceptible to absorbing other people's unconscious beliefs, anxieties, and patterns. And she shares the very real, unexpected changes that happened when she stopped: less brain fog, more presence, and even more vivid dreams.This is a practical, grounded conversation for anyone who suspects their feed might be working against their healing.

In this episode we explore why sincere rituals sometimes fail to soothe and how a chronically braced nervous system can mute the mercy that's already near. By reframing your “consciousness set point” (SQ) as a body-level baseline, you'll see how survival mode can hijack prayer, fasting, and dhikr, turning them into tasks to endure rather than moments that heal.We dig into the lived signs of low SQ: thoughts that feel factual and urgent, pressure inside worship, and a reflex to seek or anticipate hardship. Then we map a path out: transforming ibadah into regulation so the body learns that the present is not the past. Instead of piling on more action to close the gap with Allah, we anchor the obligations while shifting how we enter them—slower breath, safer posture, gentler attention—so devotion lands in the nervous system. The result is worship that widens perspective, creates space between trigger and reaction, and softens self-judgment.You'll learn a practical three-layer model drawn from Islam, Iman, and Ihsan. If you've ever wondered why your best efforts still feel tense or why ease seems hard to find, this conversation offers a compassionate lens and concrete next steps. Listen, reflect, and try one small regulation cue before your next prayer—then tell us what changes.

You can't outrun a bad diet—but it turns out you might not even be able to outrun a good one. In this episode of A Whole New Level, evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Herman Pontzer joins Mike Haney to dismantle the "armchair view" of metabolism and explain why more exercise doesn't necessarily mean more calories burned.Drawing on his groundbreaking research with the Hadza hunter-gatherer community and global meta-analyses, Dr. Pontzer explains the Constrained Energy Model: the phenomenon where our bodies hit a metabolic ceiling and begin "trading off" energy from vital systems like immunity and reproduction to account for physical activity. This conversation reframes weight loss not as a simple math problem of "calories in vs. calories out," but as a dynamic, evolutionary balancing act.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnlIn this episode, we cover:The Myth of Additive Energy: Why adding a 300-calorie run to your day doesn't actually result in 300 extra calories burned over the long term.The Hadza Paradox: How hunter-gatherers who walk miles every day burn the same amount of total energy as sedentary Westerners.Metabolic Trading: How your body "pays" for exercise by dialing down inflammation, stress responses, and reproductive hormones.The Business of the Body: Why the human body acts less like a simple machine and more like a corporation reallocating a limited budget.The "Set Point" Debate: Whether our bodies are tracking pounds on a scale or the flow of energy in the gut.Practical Weight Management: Why diet is the primary tool for weight, while exercise is the primary tool for everything else.
We introduce the consciousness set point and our SQ (soulful intelligence) model: a clear way to see how you interpret events, hold difficulty, and choose meaning. Ramadan is the perfect opportunity to gain insight on this topic because below 50 on the SQ scale, survival coding rules: thoughts feel like facts, narratives go global, and other people's emotions fuse with your own. As your SQ rises past 50, the same reality begins to feel expansive. You notice more, you react less, you create a gap between trigger and response, and worship grows more deliberate and present. Every interpretation either preserves inner pressure or leaks it. Through somatic grounding, disciplined meaning-making, and presence in worship, you can steadily raise your set point and keep it there.This is a call to choose the pain of growth over the pain of stagnation, to hold hardship without letting it define you, and to live closer to Ihsan with each fast and each prayer. If you're ready to treat Ramadan as a true reset, commit to one daily practice that elevates your set point and tell us what you'll keep going after the month ends.

80% der Abnehmenden nehmen wieder zu. Insbesondere dann, wenn das Abnehmen durch ein Kaloriendefizit geschehen ist. In dieser Folge erkläre ich dir, warum das oft kein Fehler, keine fehlende Disziplin und kein „kaputter Stoffwechsel“ ist, sondern eine biologische Schutzreaktion deines Körpers. Wir sprechen ausführlich über die Set-Point-Theorie – also über den inneren Bereich, in dem dein Körper versucht, dein Gewicht zu stabilisieren. Du erfährst: •was der Set-Point wirklich ist (verständlich & ohne Fachchinesisch) •warum dein Körper gegen weiteres Abnehmen kämpfen kann •welche Rolle Hormone, Stress und Diäten dabei spielen •und wie du den Set-Point langfristig verschieben kannst – ohne Kampf, Druck oder Hunger Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du das Gefühl hast, „alles richtig zu machen“ und trotzdem an dir zu zweifeln beginnst.
Do you always get stuck at the same number on the scale — no matter how many times you try to lose weight?In this episode, Nikki breaks down the truth about set point theory, why parts of it are real, why most women misunderstand it, and how the way you're losing weight may be the very thing causing your plateaus and rebound weight gain.If you've ever lost 10–20 pounds, stalled, rebounded, or believed menopause “locked” your body into a certain weight — this episode will flip that belief on its head. Nikki explains what's actually happening inside your metabolism, why rushing weight loss backfires, and how women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are breaking past long-held plateaus without starving or living in the gym.This isn't about willpower.It's about biology, strategy, and patience — and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it.In This Episode, You'll Learn:What “set point” really means — and why it's not a fixed numberWhy your body defends weight from day one, not just at plateausHow rushing weight loss triggers metabolic slowdown, cravings, and stallsWhy getting stuck at numbers ending in 5s and 10s is often psychological, not physicalThe difference between a true metabolic plateau and self-sabotageWhy how you lose weight matters more than the diet you chooseHow midlife women are breaking plateaus they thought were impossibleNext Steps

This episode is about discovering your current set point — where your body and mind are living right now with food, movement, sleep, stress, and beliefs about weight — and how it drives cravings, emotions, and overall health.I dive into the difference between the number on the scale and the emotional and psychological weight we carry daily. Your habits and your body's responses aren't failures — they're signals. Your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.1. What Is Your Set Point? Your set point is your current rhythm with:FoodMovementSleepStress…and the beliefs you hold about weight, cravings, and your body's ability to change. It dictates emotional, psychological, and physical weight — the state your body feels safe in, even if it's not where you want to be. Key insight: your body defaults to the known, even if it feels “not enough” or creates unwanted habits.2. The Problem with Perfectionism & Overdrive: Focusing on perfection, overachieving, or constant productivity leads to:Higher stressSpiking cortisolStronger sugar cravingsIntense emotional eating cycles3. Understanding the Hormonal Loop: Critical hormones controlling cravings and weight:Cortisol — rises under stress, triggers sugar cravings, keeps your body in protection mode.Insulin — storage hormone, holds fat when cortisol is high.Leptin — satiety hormone, signals fullness.Ghrelin — hunger hormone, signals when to eat.Takeaway: if hormones are unbalanced, dieting or willpower alone won't work. Resetting hormones is key to changing your set point.4. Protection Mode vs. Safety Mode: Your body isn't lazy or “rebelling” — it's in protection mode. Weight gain, cravings, and mindless eating are protective responses to stress. Even destructive habits feel safe. Instead of shaming yourself, thank your body for keeping you safe and learn to transition to safety mode.5. How to Reset Your Set Point:Focus on hormone regulation, not just weight lossMove your body in ways that feel safe and enjoyableNourish without restrictionHonor rest and recoveryShift beliefs about cravings and your body's ability to changeThis helps cravings normalize, appetite regulation improve, and weight release naturally — without forcing, restricting, or shaming yourself.6. Personal Story & Lessons Learned During high-stress periods of grief, perfectionism, and overwork, I experienced:Cortisol-driven sugar bingesLeptin resistance and insatiable cravingsFeeling powerless despite “doing everything right”My breakthrough: willpower alone can't override biology. Learning about the nervous system and hormones helped me reset my set point and transform my relationship with food, movement, and my body.TakeawaysSet point = where your body feels safe, not failureWeight is emotional, psychological, energetic, and physicalCravings and stress responses are biologically drivenResetting hormones and focusing on safety mode creates sustainable changeJournal PromptsWhat is my current set point with food, movement, sleep, and stress?What beliefs do I hold about weight, cravings, and my body's ability to change?When do I feel most in protection mode?How can I shift from perfectionism to safety and self-regulation?Closing Message: You are in the right place if you feel stuck or disconnected from your body. Your cravings, weight, and energy challenges are messages, not failures. By regulating hormones and moving safely, you can shift your set point, calm your nervous system, and release weight effortlessly over time.GET THE HORMONE RESET EBOOK now: https://sherryshaban.com/hormoneresetListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

Welcome to this episode of Fly To Freedom — a Q and A session filled with real, honest questions from inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle. If recovery has felt confusing, scary, messy, or strangely “too much”… this episode will help you feel understood, and steady again.We talk about the moment recovery starts to feel terrifying rather than freeing — when the eating disorder has been a familiar “safety structure” for so long that choosing freedom can feel disorienting. You'll hear why that wobble often means the brain is rewiring, why belief grows through action, and how to keep moving forwards even when certainty feels far away.This episode also covers some of the most searched (and most misunderstood) parts of eating disorder recovery and anorexia recovery: extreme hunger, constant thoughts about food, panic when hunger hits, fears about “healthy eating” turning into new rules, worries about set point and balance, and the wave of physical symptoms that can arrive during weight restoration.Why recovery can feel unreal and frightening even when you're doing the “right” thingsWhat to do with old photos from the lowest point of the eating disorder (and what it means when sadness shows up)Recovery with a busy life: kids, work, studying, dogs, and chaos — and still choosing freedomGuilt about wanting recovery: why it appears, and how to meet it with courage“All in” as a mindset (not a rigid protocol) — and how to stay committed without turning it into another set of rulesPerfectionism, cleaning, hypervigilance, and anxiety: how these patterns link to the same root system as an eating disorderEating disorder behaviours that start in adulthood: why inner child work still matters, and what it's really aboutThe moment restriction starts feeling “impossible”: why biology can begin protecting you (and why that's a win)“Healthy” rules like five a day or “clean eating”: how to spot restriction dressed up as wellnessConstant food thoughts even at a stable weight: why weight is not a measure of mental recovery, and what food preoccupation often signalsHunger panic and urgency: why it can feel extreme, and how proactive nourishment rebuilds trustExtreme hunger in the evenings: why it happens, how long it can last, and what consistency teaches the bodyItchy, sensitive skin and hair changes during weight restoration (including telogen effluvium) and gentle ways to support your bodyThe longing for “balance” and the fear of being too much: rebuilding an inner compass based on values, not shameRecovery belief grows through repetition and action. Each recovered choice teaches the brain what safety really is.Food obsession often eases through permission and consistency. The brain quiets when it truly trusts that food is allowed and available.Freedom includes flexibility. Nourishment supports health, and a rigid rulebook keeps the eating disorder alive in disguise.A busy life can still hold real recovery. Freedom gets built in real-time moments, right in the middle of everything.Finding Your WHY (inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle) — a powerful anchor for staying committed when fear gets loudFeelings Navigator — support for processing emotions and building safety from the inside outIf this episode resonated, daily support like this exists inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle — with community chat, Q and A sessions, group coaching calls, workshops, on-demand courses, and the Feelings Navigator.Join here: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/join
In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, we break down one of the most undervalued but essential parts of the shooting motion: the Set Point.Matt and Dave discuss:What the Set Point actually is and why it mattersWhy Dave prioritizes it over other parts of the shot (like the dip or lift)How to train the Set Point in ways that help players improve consistency and accuracy under pressure
This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a metabolic disease, and when the underlying system is supported, the body finally has permission to change.” — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

I share why weight isn't just about the number on the scale—it's also emotional, psychological, and energetic.You'll discover how high cortisol and other hormones create cravings, stubborn weight gain, and exhaustion… and most importantly, what you can do to shift out of protection mode into a state where your body feels safe enough to release weight naturally.At the end, I walk you through the six shifts that reset your hormones and change your set point for good.Listen to the full episode to discover how you can finally make peace with your body and reset your rhythm.Topics Covered:What your set point really means and why it controls your weight, cravings, and energyWhy “diet” is more than food—it's everything you consume in daily lifeHow high cortisol traps you in cravings, fatigue, and fat storageThe link between emotional stress, perfectionism, and uncontrollable eating patternsWhy your body resists change and clings to what feels “safe”The role of protection mode in cravings, emotional eating, and stubborn weightSix shifts to reset hormones: syncing circadian rhythm, healing leptin resistance, food pairing for insulin, hormone-safe movement, restoring deep sleep, and building your metabolic blueprint

The human brain has a remarkable ability to adapt to both positive and negative life changes, eventually returning us to a baseline level of happiness. When your person dies, it can feel like your happiness baseline has been permanently lowered. Many widows worry they'll never experience the same level of joy or fulfillment they once knew. But here's what modern science tells us: your happiness is changeable through consistent, intentional practice. Join me today to learn how hedonic adaptation works like an emotional thermostat that pulls you back to your normal happiness level, what keeps some people stuck at a lower happiness set point, and how savoring micro-joys interrupts hedonic adaptation and strengthens positive neural pathways.

In this episode of the “Peak Physique Podcast,” host Andre Adams—NASM Master Trainer and IFBB Physique Olympian—dives into the fascinating concept of set point theory and its unique implications for bodybuilders and physique athletes. Based on questions from the community, Andre unpacks how the body naturally gravitates toward certain levels of body weight, body fat, and muscle mass, and the important roles that hormones, metabolism, and neurological mechanisms play in this regulation. Andre shares his own transformation journey, illustrating how set points can evolve over time through training, nutrition, and strategic periodization. From muscle mass plateaus and metabolic adaptations during bulking and cutting, to the psychological factors influencing cravings, energy, and motivation, this episode offers actionable insights rooted in both experience and science. Listeners will learn how to break through stubborn plateaus, manipulate metabolism for optimal performance, and use methods like progressive overload, strategic refeeds, and reverse dieting to shift their own set points. Andre also addresses newer “biohacking” strategies and the importance of stress management, sleep, and consistency for long-term physique transformation.

El set point es una teoría en nutrición y fisiología que sugiere que nuestro cuerpo tiene un rango de peso en el que se siente "cómodo" y que tiende a defender activamente ese peso mediante mecanismos hormonales y metabólicos. Sin embargo, aunque este concepto tiene base científica, no significa que sea imposible bajar de peso por debajo de ese punto. Lo que sucede es que el cuerpo pone resistencia cuando intentamos salir de su rango habitual.¿Por qué pasa esto?El set point está influenciado por múltiples factores, como:Regulación hormonal: Hormonas como la leptina (que suprime el apetito) y la grelina (que lo estimula) actúan para mantener el peso dentro de un rango determinado.Adaptaciones metabólicas: Cuando pierdes peso, el cuerpo reduce el gasto energético en reposo y aumenta la eficiencia en el uso de energía, lo que hace más difícil seguir bajando.Señales cerebrales: El hipotálamo, una parte del cerebro, regula el hambre y el gasto energético para mantener el peso estable.Historia personal de peso: El cuerpo puede adaptarse a un peso más alto si se ha mantenido en ese rango durante mucho tiempo, lo que lo convierte en el "nuevo normal".¿Qué pasa si el set point está en un peso que indica sobrepeso?Si el set point de una persona se encuentra en un rango de sobrepeso u obesidad, significa que el cuerpo defenderá ese peso como si fuera su estado ideal.Esto puede ser consecuencia de:Una alimentación basada en ultraprocesados y baja en nutrientes.Falta de ejercicio y masa muscular.Cambios hormonales debido al estrés, falta de sueño o enfermedades metabólicas.Dietas yo-yo que han hecho que el cuerpo se adapte a retener más grasa.Factores genéticos.¿Se puede cambiar el set point?Sí, pero requiere tiempo, constancia y estrategias que minimicen la resistencia del cuerpo:Pérdida de peso gradual: Evitar restricciones extremas, ya que pueden activar mecanismos de defensa.Ejercicio de fuerza y resistencia: Aumentar masa muscular ayuda a elevar el metabolismo y a mantener el nuevo peso más fácilmente.Estrategias sostenibles de alimentación: Comer más proteínas y fibra, regular la ingesta de ultraprocesados y grasas de baja calidad.Regulación del estrés y el sueño: Factores como el estrés crónico y la falta de descanso alteran las hormonas del hambre y saciedad.En resumen, el set point es real, pero no es un destino inamovible. Se puede modificar con el tiempo mediante hábitos sostenibles y estrategias inteligentes que eviten el típico efecto rebote.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.
Most people struggle when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off because they don't understand how their body actually works. We think it's just about cutting calories and exercising more, but the truth is, it's way more complicated than that. In this episode, Jeff Later, IFBB Pro, entrepreneur, and fitness coach, joins me to break down why so many people regain the weight they lost and what it really takes to reset your body's natural weight. Jeff has coached over 8,000 clients and has seen firsthand how the body fights against weight loss. He explains why your metabolism slows down when you diet, how your body resists change, and why just eating less isn't the answer. Today, we're talking about metabolic adaptation, why most people hit weight loss plateaus, and the strategies that actually work to maintain results long-term. Jeff also shares an eye-opening story about a client who went on vacation to Italy, ate all the pasta and gelato, and barely gained any weight. Jeff explains how to follow this sustainable approach to fitness and nutrition that doesn't rely on extreme restrictions. So, If you're tired of losing weight only to gain it all back, struggling with dieting, or just want to finally understand how to make lasting changes, then don't miss this episode.

Episode #175 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Is sauerkraut OK for fat fasting or olives only? [03:10] What happens to the body weight set point when we are under stress? [04:11] I recently listened to a podcast from a few years ago where you and Dr. Peter Attia discussed insulin resistance. You said you had evolved your thinking about it and that it was not like a lock and key that didn't fit, but, instead, more like an overflow situation. You described it as a suitcase (the cell) already filled to the point of overflowing with shirts (the glucose), and it just couldn't hold any more, you just couldn't stuff anymore in. You also said that it is hyperinsulinemia that drives metabolic syndrome, not insulin resistance. Is that your current view? [12:13] Does an enema stimulate insulin? For example, a coffee enema with kefir, whey, or other added probiotics. [16:00] When we exercise, our bodies will pump out blood glucose to help with the energy needed. For an insulin resistant person doing hard, aerobic exercise (such as HIIT or run/walk), does the raised blood glucose need insulin to process it? [17:31] When a person is doing regular exercise routines, do they need to replenish glycogen stores after a workout or does the body do this on its own? [19:22] I read an article recently about SGLT inhibitors which said they can stimulate autophagy. Is this true? [24:33] Protein requirements are so confusing. If a person has a lot of weight to lose and they have a lot of excess skin (which is protein you want the body to use to minimize all that loose skin when you are done losing weight), how do they know how much protein to eat? Would they need less protein the more weight they had to lose? Does eating less protein force the body to use the loose skin? Does eating too much or too little protein have consequences? [27:40] I have read some things that say 8 ounces of animal products per week is enough and more than that has negative effects (insulin resistance, elevated bad cholesterol, and other things), and so getting more protein from legumes, nuts, and seeds is a good idea. Also, the type of animal products makes a difference; it is not just the processing, but whether it is organic, pasture-raised, regenerative, etc. I think that it can be easy to interpret that, since saturated fat isn't as bad as we thought, we might eat more animal products or not-so-healthy animal products, and, while it might lower insulin and promote weight loss in the short term, there can be other long-term effects that are not so healthy.

In this episode, Mike explains how to adjust your body fat set point so that you never gain the weight back again. Typically, most people lose weight and end up gaining back within 1-3 years. This is because our bodies want to restore homeostatic balance. However, most diets fail miserably because they don't teach you how to maintain your results and create a new set point. You'll learn how to do that in this episode.
