Although what we eat and how much we exercise is important, if these were the only factors involved to maintain a healthy weight we'd all be able to follow any diet and exercise program, but the majority of us can't. So why can't we? Because how we think, feel, our physical health and our personal story all play a role in our health, these are the other pieces of the pie.
The health of our body relates to how well our cells, tissues, endocrines, organs and systems are functioning. When the body has high levels of inflammation, toxicity, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalance and low energy it is very difficult to lose weight no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise. This is where natural supplementation with vitamins/minerals and herbs are work exceptionally well to bring the body back into balance, and safely and efficiently release stored fat.
Then there's our mind-body connection. This is how we think and feel about what we eat and life. Stress, worry, anxiety and guilt have a huge impact on our body’s ability to digest food, detoxify, on metabolism and fat storage. This can be the most challenging area to overcome, especially when a lot of us are afraid of being fat, stress about overeating, feel negative about our body, feel depressed, out of control and need comfort. So how can we change the way we think about our body and food? There are many effective therapies including counseling, meditation, affirmations and visualization. Personally I always will recommend the BodyTalk system, it is a powerful way of transforming these negative emotions, worries and fears without the struggle.
And last but not least, the real transformation occurs when we're honest enough to delve into the message food, weight or any disease is trying to tell us. What in my life isn't working, what needs to change so I can be happier within myself and my life.
Real weight loss should not be a battle, it's not something that can be fixed overnight with a diet pill or starvation, but there is always a solution that can bring greater health and happiness to the way we live our lives and treat ourselves. Trust there is the right solution for you, explore alternative therapies and find practitioners you have confidence in.
