It's a hot topic right now- weight loss. I hear over and over that my ladies want to lose wight, BUT they don't want to go to the gym, and they don't want to do some things they KNOW they need to be doing. So, I want to break it down and make it a bit easier. Learn 5 Fat Burning Techniques to Lose Weight Comfortably in your home.
Finding the time to work out can be hard enough with our busy lives. And I personally don't go to the gym. I like doing things on my own schedule. I know for many of my clients, time and comfort is of the essence. So taking a 15-minute drive back and forth from the gym, and encountering ogling strangers during your workout, can be a complete turn off. So maybe you don't need to workout at the gym at all. Sound good?
STRESS!!! It's everywhere and super common. And there are so many causes.
Our natural “fight or flight” stress response can sometimes go a little overboard. It’s supposed to help us escape injury or death in an emergency and then return to normal after we’ve fought or flew. But, that doesn’t happen too much in our society - it becomes a long-term reaction. It becomes chronic.
You’ve probably heard of the main stress hormone, called “cortisol.” It’s released from your adrenal glands in response to stress. It’s also naturally high in the morning to get you going, and slowly fades during the day so you can sleep.
Did you know that too-high levels of cortisol are associated with belly fat, poor sleep, brain fog, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and even lowers your immunity?
