I believe in a whole Body approach. If you’re having health issues, struggling to lose weight, lacking energy there is usually more going on than one easy fix. In my coaching I am constantly looking at the whole body , especially the mind. Here are a few tips to help you towards your health goals.
Quick Tips for Addressing Weight Loss Resistance and increasing your energy
Determining the primary cause of weight loss resistance and addressing it is key. But while you continue to work on that, the following measures can help to not only jump start weight loss, but to sustain a healthy weight.
Know your unique physiology. Work with a functional medicine practitioner to identify any metabolic imbalances, and create a nutrition and exercise plan unique to your system.
Use specific herbs and supplements. When weight loss resistance is caused by hormonal imbalance, stress imbalance, and neurotransmitter imbalance, supportive herbs and supplements may help to boost your metabolism and assist with weight loss. The active compounds and micronutrients found in herbs and supplements can go to work at the cellular level, helping you from the inside out. As always, work with your practitioner to determine which supplements are right for you. We offer many high-quality, pharmaceutical grade supplements to enhance your health.
Practice healthy eating. Eating three well-balanced meals and two snacks each day at regular intervals will help regulate your metabolism. Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, as well as lean protein such as organic , nuts and legumes, OFFEr the best nutritional support. But trust me, I know your life is busy! Having a snack shake made of pea protein and almond milk is a healthy alternative when on the go.
Additional nutritional support. Sometimes we need more than food to get all of the vitamins and nutrients we need, especially when trying to lose weight. Chromium, zinc, vitamin C, D3, and the B vitamins are essential for a healthy metabolism. A high quality, pharmaceutical-grade multivitamin-mineral complex will support and enhance weight-loss efforts.
Exercise. Even if you have tried to exercise and not had too much success, finding the right type of exercise is key. It should not only move your body, but you should enjoy it! Regular exercise is an integral part to good health and it will reset your metabolism and help you overcome weight loss resistance. Just focus on finding an activity and routine that you love, rather than trying to select the best “bang for your buck” fitness protocol.
Rest, restore, and sleep. Sleep is vital to not only restore metabolism, but help all of the systems in our body function properly. Sleep allows our body to repair itself, regenerate, and helps regulate our hunger mechanism – a very important part of weight loss! There are a number of studies showing the connection between insufficient sleep and weight gain, or difficulty losing weight. We suggest trying to sleep for eight hours each night between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. This can really make all the difference.
Seek support. Whether you believe “misery loves company” or “it takes a village” or even “great minds think alike” – finding other people who are on a similar journey can go a long way in helping you feel good, stay encouraged, and achieve success.
