Hereโs my take.
Almost all of my clients come to me with one of their main complaints being โinability to lose weightโ.
Itโs natural to want a quick fix or easy weight loss, but simply focusing on weight loss without addressing the root causes of the weight gain wonโt create good health long term.
You can also be slim and unhealthy.
My philosophy is that you get healthy and weight loss is a natural byproduct of attaining your best health.
Chronic stress is one of the biggest root causes of weight gain and the inability to lose weight.

Elevated cortisol (the stress response hormone) contributes to weight gain in the waist, which is an inflammatory, hormonal visceral fat.
Blood sugar fluctuations increase appetite and cravings.
Increased insulin adds to inflammation.
Thyroid stimulating hormone decreases and blocks the conversion of T4 to T3 and you can end up with a thyroid diagnosis.
Melatonin decreases and you end up with sleep disturbances. (Quality sleep is one of the simplest ways to jump start weight loss.)
Frontal lobe capacity decreases and you lose will power.
You lose muscle mass because cortisol breaks the body down for energy.
All of these variables make it extremely difficult to lose weight.
So if someone tells you โJust eat right and exerciseโ.
Or โJust take this pillโ.
Or โEat these low calorie, processed convenience foods so you donโt have to think about how you fuel your bodyโ.
They are selling you on a philosophy that simply doesnโt work long term.
If youโre struggling with weight loss, perhaps itโs time to take a good hard look at your chronic stressors.
External stressors (job, relationships, the state of the world) and internal stressors (like gut dysfunction and infections, blood sugar dysfunction, hormone imbalance, toxicity, and food sensitivities) all contribute to inability to lose weight.
Iโm curious.
Whatโs your weight loss philosophy?
Do you agree or disagree with the initial statement?
Join me Wednesday at 2 pm central over at Holistic Obsession-Gut Health 101 to learn how gut health impacts your hormones!
