If you’re frustrated with stubborn fat that just won’t shift, it may be more than diet or exercise holding you back. Often, hidden factors like stress and hormone imbalances can make fat loss feel impossible. That’s where Pinnacle Strength Lab steps in with Biosignature Modulation – a personalised approach that targets the root causes of fat gain, giving you a clear path to real, lasting results.



Why Stress and Hormones Matter in Fat Loss


Our bodies are complex, and so are the reasons we hold onto fat. Stress can disrupt hormone levels, causing the body to store fat in specific areas. With a Biosignature Modulation Assessment, we help you understand how stress and hormones are affecting your body and develop a plan to bring things back into balance.


Common stress factors include:

  • Carb Sensitivity: Struggling with carbs? High insulin levels can lead to fat storage around your waist.

  • Environmental Toxins: Everyday products like skincare can increase oestrogen, contributing to fat on the arms, hips, and thighs.

  • Chronic Stress: High cortisol levels from prolonged stress can increase belly fat, affecting both your physical and mental health.


Understanding, and addressing, these stress factors allows you to regulate your hormones which ultimately results in your brain signalling to your body that it no longer needs to hold on to excess body fat.


“The body is incredibly responsive when we reduce stress and support hormone balance. That’s when real change can happen,”

What Is BIOSIGNATURE Modulation?


Biosignature Modulation is a science-backed method to understand your body’s unique hormonal profile. It was developed by renowned strength and conditioning coach Charles Poliquin, based on over 30 years of data collected from his work with athletes. By completing a Biosignature Modulation Assessment,  we can create a tailored plan that addresses specific areas of fat storage. At PSL, we combine this data-driven insight with customised training, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to support long-term health and fitness.


When you choose Biosignature Modulation at PSL, you’re choosing a targeted, effective strategy to achieve your fat loss goals. Here’s what you can expect:


  • Target Stubborn Fat: Focused on areas where your body tends to store fat.

  • Feel Energised and Balanced: Improved energy, mood, and well-being as hormone levels are balanced.
