💥 Stress isn’t just emotional—it’s physiological.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things to lose weight—eating better, moving more, maybe even tracking every bite—but nothing’s working, this episode will shift your entire perspective.

Jennifer sits down with wellness expert Jane Hogan, a former mechanical engineer whose life came to a screeching halt when autoimmune pain left her barely able to walk. What healed her? Not more supplements. Not another diet. It was learning how to regulate her nervous system and rewire the stress response in her body.

🎧 Tune in for a radically different conversation about stress, trauma, healing, and why weight loss isn’t just about food and exercise.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✅ Why emotional stress gets stored in the body—and shows up as pain, fatigue, or stubborn weight
✅ What most doctors and even functional medicine practitioners miss
✅ How to tell the difference between your intuition and your inner critic
✅ Daily tools you can start using right now to shift your nervous system and find relief
