Summer’s right around the corner! If you’re not feeling swimsuit ready, check out these top 4 reasons why you may be struggling to shed some pounds… and they don't involve calorie counting or exercise.
Eating a nutrient-dense diet and moving your body are still critical to your wellness journey... but there are some other factors that are typically overlooked and can significantly hinder you from reaching your weight loss goals. Read about those + learn what you can start doing now to get in shape.
Nutrient deficiencies - You may be deficient in key nutrients needed to maintain a healthy weight and metabolism like magnesium, potassium and selenium. A hair test is the best way to find out!
Parasitic infection - It’s a total misconception to think parasites only cause weight loss. Parasites hijack your nutrients, cause you to overeat & cause cravings for sugar and carbs. They can also induce metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Many people actually lose weight after parasite cleansing because they’re able to absorb their nutrients, subsequently eat less and can control their cravings.
Heavy metal toxicity - Heavy metals are stored in fat, increase fat production in our cells and cause insulin resistance. They are also very disruptive to the thyroid, leading to an underactive thyroid and slower metabolism. They also influence our hormones that control weight, like leptin, cortisol and estrogen.
High toxic burden - Other toxins like glyphosate, mold, microplastics, chemicals in your drinking water, processed food, toiletries, cleaning products and clothing contain endocrine disruptors that get stored in fat and will hinder your weight loss efforts.
Some tips you can start doing now:
Consider getting a Lumen - it uses your breath to provide a metabolic reading and provides diet and exercise suggestions based on your reading.
Drink this every morning and at bedtime.
Try intermittent fasting, where you give your body a break from digestion for at least 12 hours a day (ideally 16). I try to eat from 11AM - 7PM. Since most of our immunity is in our gut, this allows your body to focus more time on healing instead of digestion.
Take adaptogenic herbs like Metabolic Activator, S-TRO or Metabolic Support Kit to help balance hormones naturally. Log in with practitioner code 1WB98bYU.
Sweat out toxins and boost metabolism in an infrared sauna.
Wear a castor oil pack on problem areas.
Eat veggies with every meal. If you need ideas on how to do that, Purple Carrot is a great plant based meal delivery program. Use CARROT30 for a discount.
