In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

  • Four common ways high stress affects your fat loss or weight loss journey
  1. Cortisol: Stress elevates cortisol levels in the body, which can cause an increase in appetite.
  2. Sleep: A lack of sleep may increase cravings for carbohydrates and sugar.
  3. Routine: When you have a high-stress level, your routine becomes more inconsistent, leading to overeating.
  4. Eating: Stress can make you turn to food as a coping mechanism, leading to weight gain.
  • Some easy strategies to reduce your stress and live a healthier, happier life.

Memorable Quotes:

"Stress Isn't a bad thing. Stress can be a very good thing; it can help us challenge our body, strengthen our body. It is something that is going to be an inevitable part of life and that we're going to have to deal with now. But there is a big difference between being stressed and being chronically stressed."

"Sometimes a lot of people will turn to food for as like a stress coping mechanism. But unfortunately that doesn't really solve the problem and whatever stressors you're dealing with tend to still be there. And now we might feel bloated, exhausted, uncomfortable, frustrated, and so forth."

"Stress isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if it is chronic, if it is extreme… it can really affect how everything is functioning, and how your adrenals are functioning. And of course it can keep you stuck at that plateau with your fat loss journey or your weight loss journey."
