Episode Summary:

Think stress is the reason you can’t lose weight? Think again. In this episode, Nikki debunks two major myths about stress and its impact on weight loss—starting with the idea that stress makes fat loss impossible. Spoiler: It doesn’t. And more importantly, you don’t have to wait for life to “calm down” to get results.
