Your metabolism is not broken. It is adaptive.

In this episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule explains why metabolic slowdown is often a protective response rather than damage. Instead of blaming age or lack of discipline, this conversation helps you understand how stress, digestion, nourishment, and safety signals shape how your body uses energy.

Janell breaks down common myths around metabolism and walks through the physiology in a way that is clear and non-overwhelming. You will learn how the adrenals, thyroid, liver, and gut work together and why chronic stress and restriction can disrupt that communication.

In this episode, you will learn:
• Why metabolism does not suddenly stop after 35
• How cortisol and chronic stress affect metabolic output
• The connection between gut health, inflammation, and metabolism
• Why T4 to T3 conversion matters
• What Reverse T3 signals in the body
• Why undernourishing sends threat signals
• How consistent nourishment and rhythm support metabolic safety

This episode is for anyone who wants to stop fighting their body and start understanding it.

Why does doing more stop working at a certain point?

In this episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule unpacks a pattern she sees constantly with high-achieving women. When the body stops responding, the instinct is to double down. More control. More restriction. More effort.

But the body does not always respond to more. Often, it responds to safety.

This Coaching Perspective episode explores why effort-based strategies can keep the nervous system, metabolism, and hormones locked in protection. Janell explains how stress load, perfectionism, and control create shutdown, loss of energy, and the familiar feeling of being stuck even when you are doing everything “right.”

Inside this episode:
• Why doing more can signal threat to the body
• How discipline becomes tied to worth instead of self-trust
• What cortisol and leptin have to do with feeling stuck
• Why normal labs do not always tell the full story
• How to shift from “What should I do?” to “What does my body need?”

If you have felt frustrated, exhausted, or confused by your body’s response, this episode offers clarity and reassurance.

If you start January strong but feel exhausted or discouraged a few weeks later, this episode is for you.

In this Coaching Perspective episode of The Transformation Show, Janell Yule explores why so many women struggle to sustain momentum and why the problem is not discipline, motivation, or willpower.

What most people call motivation is often a stress response. It works for a short time, then the body moves into protection mode. The result is burnout, frustration, and the familiar all-or-nothing cycle.

In this episode, Janell breaks down:
• The burnout loop that shows up every January
• How perfectionism and productivity-driven identity fuel exhaustion
• What is actually happening in your nervous system
• Why momentum requires safety, pacing, and rhythm
• Practical ways to build consistency by doing less, better

This conversation will help you shift from force-based action to regulated action so change feels sustainable instead of overwhelming.
