If weight loss has started to feel harder, slower, or more confusing than it used to, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you.
Maybe it’s willpower.
Maybe it’s age, stress, or medication.
Maybe your body just doesn’t work the way it used to.
In this episode of Set Point Science™, Cheri Alberts explains why hunger, cravings, fatigue, and weight plateaus are often signs of protection—not failure—and why the first few pounds that actually stay off tend to feel fundamentally different.
You’ll learn why the body is a regulator, not a calculator, how “defended weight” forms after long periods of stress or restriction, and why appetite lowering—not discipline—is often the real turning point in sustainable weight loss.
This episode is for anyone who’s tired of fixing themselves and ready to understand what their body is responding to instead.
Because the body doesn’t make mistakes.
It makes adjustments.
