You're doing the hormone work. You're doing the gut work. So why isn't your body changing?After coaching enough women through this, I can now tell who's going to see real body recomposition while she heals, and who's going to stay stuck doing everything "right." In this episode: → Why a reverse diet is the actual mechanism behind body recomp → The food consistency mistake that you're missing→ Why lifting heavy beats "just moving your body"→ The nervous system beliefs keeping your body stuck in survival mode → Why rushing the timeline is the exact thing keeping you stuck longer → Bloodwork vs. functional testing If you're doing the internal work and still not seeing results, drop "RECOMP" in my DMs. https://forms.gle/s1AL2HDZSuoiRC1z9

In this episode, Gabby breaks down why so many women who "do everything right" — eating clean, working out constantly — still feel soft, undefined, and stuck in a body that won't respond to effort. She unpacks the real difference between losing weight and changing your shape, why cardio and restriction quietly work against you, and how a maxed-out nervous system keeps your body holding onto fat while burning through muscle. This isn't a discipline problem — it's a missing-information problem, and Gabby lays out exactly what actually builds the body you're working so hard for.COACHING APPLICATION : https://forms.gle/zZrwCTudcFkKgHMV9

I've been talking about this for over a year — and I finally did it. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story: my birth control history starting at 16, why I chose the copper IUD in 2020, the symptoms that were telling me for a long time that something wasn't right, and what finally pushed me to get it removed.This isn't an anti-birth-control episode. It's the conversation I wish I'd had before I made any of these decisions — honest, personal, and clinically grounded. Whether you're on the pill, a hormonal IUD, the copper IUD, or considering your options, this episode is for you.My birth control backstory — starting the pill at 16 and what I didn't know about withdrawal bleeds vs. real periodsLosing my period through my eating disorder and the years it took to get it backWhy I chose the copper IUD in 2020 and what my doctor told me (and didn't tell me)The 5 symptoms that were my biggest red flags: PMDD, chronic puffiness and inflammation, hormonal acne, short cycles, and luteal phase constipation and bloatingHow the copper IUD actually works — and why 'non-hormonal' doesn't mean 'no systemic effects'Copper vs. hormonal birth control: the real comparison, including what they have in commonPost birth control syndrome — why it happens, what to expect, and how to actually support your body through the transitionHow to protect your body if you're staying on birth control — what to supplement, how to support your gut and liver, and which labs to ask for

Gut health gets talked about a lot, but not like this. In this episode, Gabby pulls back the curtain on her own gut health journey and the innocent mistakes she was making that were creating serious dysfunction underneath the surface. If you've been dealing with acne, brain fog, fatigue, estrogen dominance, thyroid issues, or just feeling like something is off and can't figure out why this episode might be the missing piece you've been looking for.KEY TAKEAWAYSYour gut and your brain have a two-way relationship. When one is struggling, the other one feels it.Estrogen dominance, hypothyroid symptoms, acne, and nutrient deficiencies are often downstream of gut dysfunction — not the root cause itself.Digestion happens in 8 steps. If something is broken in step two, treating step six will never fix the real problem.Under eating is a physiological stressor — it suppresses stomach acid, enzymes, and bile, and starves the beneficial bacteria your gut depends on.Leaky gut turns your immune system against your own food. The food isn't always the problem. The barrier is.You cannot fully digest in a sympathetic state. Rest and digest is not just a saying — it's biology.Define is a 1:1 functional health coaching practice built for high-achieving women who are doing everything right and still not feeling well. Using functional lab testing including the GI Map, DUTCH test, and comprehensive blood panels, Gabby identifies the upstream drivers of your symptoms and builds a protocol specific to your body — not a generic plan.→ Apply to work with Gabby at https://forms.gle/CBpqh4VdQ483b2R48 → Follow along on Instagram: @gabbyvillermaux→ DM Gabby the word "DEFINE" on Instagram to start the conversation

If you've been doing everything "right".. working out consistently, eating clean, trying protocol after protocol and your body still isn't responding, this episode is for you. Gabby breaks down why effort without the right strategy keeps so many high-achieving women stuck, and walks through what actually needs to change to get your body to respond to the work you're already putting in.This episode was built around a real conversation with a real client — a woman who had spent years grinding through workouts, gut health protocols, and nutrition plans, only to feel like her body was working against her. If you've ever looked at someone doing less than you and getting more results, you'll want to listen to this one.What We Cover— Why the most disciplined women are often the most stuck — and why that makes complete sense— The identity gap: what happens when who you know yourself to be isn't being reflected back in your body— Why comparing your results to someone just starting out is keeping you frustrated— The science of what chronic under-eating and high-volume exercise actually does to your metabolism, hormones, and gut— Why so much of what looks like a body composition problem is actually an inflammation problem— The three shifts that change everything: from eating clean to tracking with intention, from working out to training with purpose, and from chasing fat loss to building the internal foundation first— The fear of eating more and why it's usually the fear pointing you toward exactly what you needWork With GabbyIf this episode resonated with you, applications for Define are open. Define is a 12-month, one-on-one functional health coaching program for high-achieving women who are ready to get to the root cause — not just manage symptoms.→ Apply here: https://forms.gle/oKtRSSzNeiQkU6Hz5→ DM Gabby on Instagram: @gabbyvillermaux

APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHING : https://forms.gle/UPwTkPiqUnmGHtVA6You've done the healing work. Your period is back, your gut feels better, you've broken the yo-yo dieting cycle — and your body finally feels like it's on your side. Now you're ready to actually change your body. But you're terrified of going backwards.This episode is for the woman who is caught between wanting results and wanting to protect everything she's worked so hard to build.In this episode, Gabby covers:The "too soft on yourself" traps that are keeping you stuckFrom the forever-healing identity to the permission slip gone too far — if you've been in healing mode so long it's become a comfort zone, this will hit home.What actually wrecks your hormonesIt's not one hard training block or one calorie deficit. It's the chronic stack — chronic dieting, chronic stress, chronic under-recovery — with no end in sight and no recovery built in. Gabby breaks down exactly what that does to your cortisol, thyroid, sex hormones, and why your body holds onto fat as a protective response.Why you might not need a deficit yetThe move that surprises women the most: spending time at maintenance with optimized training first. Gabby explains how body recomposition at maintenance works, why it protects your hormones, and how it sets you up for a more effective deficit down the road.How to run a deficit without dismantling your hormonesWhen a deficit is the right move, here's how to do it strategically:Managing your total stress load — not just your caloriesWhy aggressive cardio on top of heavy lifting during a deficit is a hormonal disasterDiet breaks: what they are, the physiology behind them, and why they're a tool not a failureReading your biofeedback (sleep, mood, cycle, training performance) as real dataReverse dieting out of the deficit — and why skipping this step is why most women end up back where they startedThe bottom line: You are in a better position than you think. But the approach has to match where your body actually is — not where you want to hurry it to be.⁠APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHING : https://forms.gle/UPwTkPiqUnmGHtVA6⁠
