The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

Weight loss plateaus aren't about willpower; they're about biology.

In this episode, board-certified family nurse practitioner Thara Christian exposes the hidden factors sabotaging your progress: hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol spikes, gut health issues, and genetic predispositions that most standard tests completely overlook.

Thara explains how leaky gut, chronic stress, and undereating cause your body to hold onto fat — and why conventional advice like "try harder" can actually make things worse.

If you've been stuck despite doing everything right, this episode gives you the clarity, tools, and confidence to take your health back.

Sugar cravings tend to hit in the quietest moments, after a hard day, alone in the kitchen, reaching for something sweet without even being hungry. That pull is not weakness. It is the brain searching for comfort it never learned to find anywhere else.

Christine Trimpe, author of SugarFreed and a certified Christian health and wellness coach, spent thirty years fighting that craving before discovering what was actually underneath it. After this conversation, a craving stops feeling like failure and starts feeling like information.

Faith fatigue doesn't announce itself. It shows up quietly — when you're still doing everything right but nothing feels real anymore. That spiritual hollowness isn't a character flaw; it's what happens when faith becomes something you know instead of someone you experience.

Dr. Carter Check, U.S. Army veteran, board-certified chaplain, and bestselling author of Plagiarizing the Gospel, reveals why spiritual drift happens without a single conscious decision — and what the first step back actually feels like.

Intuition vs anxiety — most people can't tell them apart in the moment, and the cost of getting it wrong is real. If you've ever overridden a quiet knowing and paid for it, your nervous system wasn't failing you. It was overwhelmed.

People pleasing isn't a personality flaw — it's a fear response rooted in childhood, perfectionism, and the deep need to stay loved and safe. You keep saying yes, over-explaining, managing everyone's comfort, and somewhere in the process, you've lost track of what you actually want.

Susan Podbielski is a licensed psychotherapist and NYU Langone Fellow who spent a decade in clinical practice — after burning out as a network TV producer — helping high-achieving women break this pattern for good. This episode gives you the roots, the real costs, and the first practical steps back to yourself.
