It’s Not Insulin: Why Your Body Is Protecting Your Belly Fat | Josh Trent #1391 - Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

If you’ve followed every belly fat protocol perfectly and still can’t lose weight, the missing piece may have very little to do with food. It may be that your body doesn’t feel safe enough to let go.

In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with Josh Trent, host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast and creator of the Liberated Life Tribe, to explore the emotional side of stubborn weight and why so many people stall even when they do everything “right.” Josh went from 280 pounds to a decade as a personal trainer. He explains how a reverse breathing pattern can keep the nervous system braced for threat, and why he believes chronic stress makes it so hard to release old weight. He also shares what happened to his own HRV and resting heart rate during three months on retatrutide. Then he introduces emotional epigenetics, the idea that unconscious beliefs and emotional patterns can carry through families. If you know what to do but can’t seem to do it, Josh’s simple four-step model may show you exactly where you’re getting stuck.
