Weight Loss Over 40
Why am I gaining weight after 40?
1. Toxic overload 🔥
Too many toxins & sluggish liver will lead to inflammation causing belly fat
✨ Quick tip: Swap out beauty products to reduce toxic load like with @lumedeodorant
2. Chronic stress ‼️
When you are stressed, that releases cortisol, and when we have too much cortisol that slows down our entire body. This includes our metabolism, which causes excess belly fat
✨ Quick tip: When you’re in the shower, let yourself feel the warm water on your body. This will calm down your nervous system and support your cortisol levels & reduce stress.
3. Insulin resistance🩸
This is something you can develop years before your blood blood sugar levels even rise.
✨ Quick tip: Eat foods high in fiber 🥦🥕
4. Under eating 💪
This is probably one of the biggest mistakes I see my clients make. we are taught in order to lose weight. We need to eat less. This is simply not true… Our hormones play a key roll, and we need to make sure we’re getting in enough nutrients to support the thyroid, adrenals, and metabolism!
✨ Quick tip: Add 1 palm ✋ of protein to every meal
5. Sluggish thyroid 🦋
Hypothyroidism will slow down everything in the body. This includes your metabolism, immune system, detox, energy, bowel movements, etc.
✨ Quick tip: Slow down! The body needs to be in a relaxed nervous system mode to let the thyroid function optimally
