If you want to train your body to be more resilient to stress (so it doesn’t have so much control over your life), it helps to understand stress hormones. There are 2 stress hormones I want you to know about: Cortisol & Adrenaline (also called Epinephrine).

Are you fighting a sluggish metabolism? The types of FATS you consume may be to blame, and a new study proves it. What you need to know is there are 2 driving forces behind an aging metabolism: Insulin Resistance and Chronic Inflammation. And also that we have loads of ways to reverse these things!

Insulin resistance means that the cells in the body have become less responsive to insulin, which leads to elevated insulin and blood sugar levels. This leads to more belly fat, hunger/cravings, and fatigue - and if left unchecked, can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even many cancers. That’s why it’s critical to take insulin resistance seriously.

Belly fat, sugar/carb cravings, and low energy - these are three symptoms I commonly hear from patients in my Integrative & Functional Medicine practice - and all three are often related to a common root cause: Blood sugar dysregulation.

Estrogen dominance is a common pattern in women, where estrogen levels are high in comparison to progesterone levels. Our hormones respond to so many aspects of our physiology that it can take some detective work to figure out the root cause of estrogen dominance.
