Episode Notes

You’re eating clean. You’re training hard. You’re doing “everything right”  but the belly fat won’t budge. In this eye-opening episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane exposes the hidden saboteur blocking your results: chronic stress.

Most men never connect the dots between their stress levels and their stalled transformation. But elevated cortisol your primary stress hormone can ramp up hunger, trigger junk food cravings, disrupt sleep, break down muscle, and literally switch off your body’s ability to burn stored fat.

No diet tweak or new workout plan can override that.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn exactly how stress hijacks your biology, why it creates that vicious cycle of cravings and guilt, and how “hidden” stressors like under-eating, overtraining, perfectionism, and relationship tension quietly undermine your progress.

Then Dane walks you step-by-step through his 7-Day Cortisol Reset Protocol and shows you how to weave stress-management into your daily routine so your workouts, nutrition, and recovery finally work the way they’re supposed to.

If you’re a busy man over 35 who’s frustrated with a body that won’t respond even though you’re disciplined   this episode gives you the missing link to unlock fat loss, reclaim your energy, and finally build the body you’ve been working for.
