Weight gain isn’t always about food or motivation. Often, it’s about a body that’s been under pressure for too long.
Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated.
And cortisol’s job isn’t weight loss its protection.
When the nervous system stays in fight-or-flight, the body prioritises safety over change. That can affect sleep, blood sugar regulation and hormones especially in perimenopause and menopause.
Reflexology isn’t a weight-loss treatment.
It supports the nervous system, helping the body shift out of stress and into regulation.
And when the body feels calmer and safer,
it can begin to respond differently.
This isn’t about trying harder or doing more.
It’s about supporting the body first.
If this makes sense to you, reflexology may be a place to start.
