Beyond Calories: Why Weight Struggles Are Not About Willpower
Struggling with your weight and feeling like it’s all your fault? You’re not alone and the truth is, weight gain or difficulty losing weight isn’t about a lack of willpower or moral weakness.
In this powerful episode, we uncover the real reasons behind weight challenges, drawing on the latest research from experts like Max Lugavere, Thomas DeLauer, Rhonda Patrick, and Andrew Huberman. From stress hormones and poor sleep to ultra-processed foods and modern food environments, we show you why biology, not blame, is often at the root.
And most importantly, we connect this science to timeless wisdom from the Qur’an and Sunnah. You’ll discover:
How stress and hormones impact cravings, energy, and fat storage
Why sleep is one of the most overlooked keys to health (and the Sunnah habits that protect it)
Simple prophetic foods and practices that align perfectly with modern science
Sisters, this isn’t about punishment diets or guilt. It’s about mercy, balance, and honoring your body as an amanah (trust) and a gift from Allah. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or overwhelmed on your wellness journey, this episode will shift your perspective and give you three practical Sunnah-inspired steps to move forward.
Listen now and take the first step toward compassionate, sustainable health rooted in both science and Islam.
