Because the more frequently and intensely you restrict, the SLOWER your metabolism becomes. We know this is hard to believe but we see it every week wtih clients.
Losing fat is risky business for your body, and your brain is not about to support this process until it feels safe. We hope you feel safe when it comes to moving through your life, in your relationships and community, but does your body feel safe when you are constantly under nourishing it ?!
We know, talking about stress and your nervous system is not the type of conversation you want to have or address when it comes to changing your body. But, we’re here to say that time after time, the answer to helping you reach your goals is first supporting your nervous system. And it's even MORE important for those of you in perimenopause when your sex hormone rhythm just isn't what it used to be.
Now to be clear, that doesn’t mean we expect you to eliminate all stress in your life. Nor do we think there isn't a time and place for intentionally eating less.
But instead of focusing on MORE restriction (which likely isn't work for you), we want to teach you how to support your nervous system better by balancing blood sugar, eating enough, truly nourishing your body and mind, moving your body in an appropriate way and time, and learning some easy support tools that you can implement immediately.
