Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated and elevated cortisol tells your body to hold onto weight and inflammation by being in survival mode.
More discipline isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the work is slowing down, sleeping more, regulating your nervous system and supporting your body instead of fighting it🫶🏻
Weight loss isn’t just calories. It’s hormones. It’s stress. It’s a calm, regulated nervous system.
If this hits close to home, you’re not failing, your body is communicating. Focus more on stress reduction and less on calories.
