I am absolutely thrilled to share a captivating conversation I recently had on the “Moving Mattresses In Three Inch Heels” podcast, hosted by Julia Jordan. Together, we dove deep into metabolic health and the pivotal role our adrenals play (how they can make or break your metabolism).
Here’s a glimpse of what we explored during our conversation:
- Unveiling the Pitfalls of Quick Fixes: We dissected the shortcomings of popular diet trends and quick fitness fixes, revealing how they wreck the adrenals, slow the metabolism, and never deliver sustainable results.
- Understanding the Adrenal-Metabolism Connection: I shed light on the vital role our adrenals play in regulating metabolism and which daily habits (that may seem benign) are surging continuous cortisol, sabotaging our success.
- Strategies for Overcoming Weight Loss Plateaus (For Women): Despite our best efforts, many of us find ourselves stuck in frustrating weight loss plateaus, especially women around those tricky menopause years). We discussed actionable strategies to calm down the adrenal response, balance hormones with ease, and unlock the secrets to a healthier, happier life.
Now, let’s talk about why understanding the adrenals is paramount to achieving your health goals, especially for women.
In today’s fast-paced world, our adrenals are constantly under siege, pushed to their limits by the non-stop demands of modern life. Their main hormone, cortisol, is meant to keep us alive, but for most women, it’s on overdrive, fueled by the pressures of dieting, busyness, and complex hormonal systems. Society ignites this hormone, demanding we work out harder, eat less, skip meals or carbs—our body’s primary fuel source. We’re expected to juggle it all (keep the family organized, cook, clean and work, while keeping a positive attitude and looking good), all while feeling the weight of overwhelm pressing on our adrenals every single day.
Even for those always striving to be healthy and shed unwanted weight, the task is impossible with elevated cortisol levels. Instead, the body succumbs to inflammation, unbalanced hormones, annoying cravings, and constant weight struggles.
This is why our focus primarily lies with women around the challenging years of menopause. These women often battle fatigued adrenals and sluggish metabolisms, leaving them no choice but to prioritize healing their metabolism first to see any semblance of progress. The struggle is real, and it’s time we acknowledge the pivotal role of our adrenals in the intricate dance of metabolism and overall well-being.
Sorry to be a bit dramatic but I am truly talking from my heart and I hope it is hitting home for you. And most importantly, I want you to know – there is hope.
If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, if you’re frustrated with your lack of progress despite your best efforts, know that you’re not alone. I’m here to offer support and guidance every step of the way.
