Ep. 111 - Think Your Body Won’t Go Lower? Let’s Talk Set Point
Episode Summary:
Do you have a number on the scale your body refuses to go below — no matter how hard you try?
In this episode, Nikki breaks down the truth about set point theory, why parts of it are real, why most of what women believe about it is wrong, and how the way you’re losing weight is often what creates the very plateau you think you’re stuck at.
If you’ve ever lost 10–20 pounds… stalled… rebounded… or felt like menopause “locked” your body into a specific weight, this episode will completely change how you see fat loss. Nikki explains what’s actually happening inside your metabolism, why rushing weight loss backfires, and how women in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are breaking past weights they thought were impossible — without starvation or over-exercise.
This isn’t about willpower.
It’s about strategy, patience, and understanding how your body defends weight — so you can finally work with it instead of fighting it.
