So many people are desperate to lose quick weight.

So many people are desperate to lose quick weight. 😬 But in reality, it’s that very mindset that’s contributing to weight GAIN and cortisol imbalances.

Yep.

Your mindset will directly determine whether your body will gain or lose weight. It’s entirely true.

If I could go back in time and change the way I approached weight loss, I’d change these SIX THINGS:

1. Exercise less - weight lifting 3-4x per week instead of 7.
2. Chill the heck out - not stressing about what has to be done but finding balance and time with myself instead.
3. Ate over 100g bioavailable protein - supports lowered inflammation, optimal growth and tissue repair and increases metabolic burn rate.
4. Got 30 minutes of direct morning sunlight daily - reduces cortisol.
5. Stopped relying on protein shakes instead real food for nourishment - you get so much more density out of real food!
6. Walked every day for 20 minutes - blood sugar management, movement and increased steps to support mobility.

Addicted to coffee?😬

Does this feel like you?👇🏼

Grabbing that loaded cup of coffee because you don’t have time in the morning to make breakfast. Stressed out because you have to get to a task or work on time. Get jittery or anxious in the middle of the day. Can’t focus on any tasks because for “some reason” you’re not feeling well. Eating a power bar at 2 PM because it’s the only thing you have in your bag?

Yep. This is commonly an issue I see with clients today.

Little do people know it, but their lifestyles are pushing their bodies into extreme blood sugar dysregulation. And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my coffee in the morning. But it’s HOW you do it and how you’ve been already supporting your body that matters.

Specifically coffee on an empty stomach can ignite spikes in cortisol, which initiates the liver to release more sugar into the bloodstream.

This surge of sugar or glucose in the bloodstream sends our blood glucose levels through the roof and because there’s no balanced meal in sight to back it up, our blood sugar spikes and then crashes, leaving you feeling hangry, irritable, anxious, moody and filled with stress.

Two of the best ways to combat this are:
Getting sunlight FIRST thing in the morning
Having a nourishing, balanced, protein packed breakfast BEFORE your cup of joe

This is one of the reasons why I like to run an HTMA in my practice - it shows how your adrenal glands are functioning and reacting to YOUR current life, stress, and nutrition. Curious for more information? Send me a DM or comment below for details!

Do you run on cortisol? 😬 If you answered yes

Do you run on cortisol? 😬

If you answered yes to more than one of these indicators, then odds are, you are running on chronic cortisol.

Why does this even matter, right?

Cortisol plays an essential role in the body. In fact, if used for an acute situation, cortisol is ANTI-inflammatory. However, when it’s used for longer periods of time or constantly, it becomes inflammatory in the body.

This consistent use of cortisol promotes inflammatory responses, which is responsible for initiating various dysfunction in the body. These include:
Weight gain
Hormone imbalances
Food sensitivities
Waking up in the middle of the night
Trouble falling asleep at night
Adrenal fatigue or burnout
Cravings
Anxiety + mood swings + jittery
Estrogen dominance
Blood sugar dysregulation

Running chronically on cortisol is NOT a good thing.

This is why supporting optimal cortisol production, at the right times and levels throughout the day is essential for our overall hormone, digestive and blood sugar health.

Incorporating specific + targeted foods and protocols to support our adrenals and cortisol levels can be key for success, especially if you’re feeling “off”. This is one of my MAIN focuses with clients when it comes to supporting optimal healing. It’s because without it, clients typically won’t find a root-cause success.
