How to Lose Belly Fat

Newsflash! Weight loss is not a simple caloric equation. Losing belly fat isn’t an easy thing to do in our modern-day world because there’s so much working against us-like CHRONIC STRESS.
When the body experiences stress, it adapts by entering “survival mode”, also known as “conservation mode” or fat-storing mode. So, when there is an imbalance in cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), losing belly fat is going to be very, very difficult.
3 things I did to lose mine:
1. Restoring adrenal function + regulate cortisol rhythm. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, and when we are under stress, we produce too much cortisol, which tells the body to store fat. Belly fat (visceral fat) also contains more cortisol receptors than fat in other areas. This abundance makes it sensitive to cortisol’s effects. Elevated cortisol from chronic stress activates these receptors, increasing fat storage in the abdomen. This is why losing belly fat can be difficult-it goes beyond diet and exercise. Balancing stress hormones and healing adrenal glands is CRITICAL!
2. Balanced physiology through breathwork and somatics. Chronic stress alters physiology, including breathing patterns, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. This altered physiology keeps the body stuck in an activated state. If we do not restore this balance, the body will remain stuck in fight or flight, which is essentially fat-storing mode.
3. Healed my nervous system! The reason cortisol becomes imbalanced is due to chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation is the number one cause! Healing the nervous system requires a multidimensional approach addressing past trauma, repressed emotions, etc.
Starting this month in my Inner Circle, I’ll be sharing how to identify + heal adrenal fatigue, how to heal past trauma (esteemed trauma expert joining), how to process emotions, breathe properly, use somatics/vagus nerve stimulation, and more.
For $25/month, you’re going to gain knowledge with a value of well over $500/mo! It’s my life’s mission to make healing affordable for all!
