Doing “all the right things” but your body won’t change? You’re missing the prereqs
Monday, 5 January, 2026
Warrior woman — if you’re training consistently, eating “pretty well,” doing the steps, doing the protein… and your bod still isn’t shifting the way you expected — this episode is for you girl. Because this isn’t an age problem. It’s not a hormones problem. And it’s definitely not a motivation problem. It’s a strategy and sequence problem. Body composition is an adaptation. And adaptations have prerequisites. Most women were taught the what… but not the when, the why, or the context. So you end up executing “the right things” inside a system that can’t support the outcome you’re asking for. In this episode, I’m teaching you how to think like a strategist:strategy → systems → sequencing — and why your bod adapts when the inputs finally make sense in the right order. What You’ll Learn in This Episode If you’ve been stuck in that loop of “I’m doing everything… why isn’t this working?” we’re unpacking: What strategy actually is (and why it’s not just a plan) Why your body responds to context not effort The difference between a goal and a strategy The “Warrior System Stack”: the 4 layers you can’t skip if you want results Why you’re chasing the outcome your system isn’t ready to support How to find the one system that’s currently limiting your progress What to do next if you want body recomposition (without forcing it) Key Takeaways (Strategy, Systems + Sequencing) 1) Body composition is an adaptation — and adaptations require prerequisites 2) You were taught the what**… not the** order 3) Your strategy fails when it ignores the system you’re operating inside 4) The Warrior System Stack Layer 1: Nervous system (safety, capacity, resiliency) Layer 2: Metabolic system (energy availability, consistency) Layer 3: Mechanical system (movement, load tolerance, joints/tissues) Layer 4: Adaptation (intensity + expression — where body comp happens) 5) Sequence beats intensity 6) If nothing is changing, it’s not because your body is stubborn — it’s because she’s intelligent 7) Ask these 3 questions to find your next move Which system is limiting me right now? (nervous / metabolic / mechanical) Am I trying to force an adaptation I haven’t prepared for? What’s the next stabilizing action I can repeat for 30 days? Powerful Quotes “Your body doesn’t respond to effort alone. She responds to context — to systems — to order.” “This is not an age problem. This is not a hormone problem. It’s a strategy and sequence problem.” “Body recomposition is an adaptation — and adaptations require prerequisites.” “You’re doing a lot of the right things… but in the wrong era of your body and your life.” “If you skip the order, your body doesn’t adapt — not because she’s stubborn, but because she’s intelligent.” BUILD THE BODY YOU LOVE TRAINING ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP If you want to build a body you love… you have to know where you’re actually at. Girl… you’re doing so many of the right things. The lifting, the walking, the fuelling — you’re trying. But if you don’t know where you’re actually at in your training — what’s working, what’s missing, what your body needs right now — it’s almost impossible to move forward. That’s why I’m hosting a small, private workshop on JAN 30th We’re going to slow everything down and look at your training clearly so you finally know what to focus on — and why. This workshop gives you a proven pathway and the exact next steps you need to finally move forward — now and in the next six months. Because: You can’t build the body you love if you don’t know where you’re really at.
