Make Peace with Food Minisode: FAT LOSS 101: HORMONES
In this week's minisode, Sherry Shaban dives deep into the science of hormones and their impact on weight management, eating behaviors, and overall health.
Do you need help to maintain motivation for your fitness goals? Do binge eating, emotional eating, or nighttime eating habits hinder your progress? Sherry addresses these issues by explaining how the body's hormones function and how you can work with your body rather than against it to overcome these challenges.
Throughout the discussion, Sherry emphasizes the importance of managing hormones like insulin and cortisol. She explains how these hormones are crucial in fat storage, metabolism, and stress responses. By understanding the mechanics of these hormones, listeners can adopt strategies such as choosing complex carbohydrates, eating less frequently, and practicing non-purposeful exercise to manage insulin levels effectively. Additionally, Sherry highlights the significance of minimizing stress and promoting a sense of safety to reduce cortisol levels, thereby improving overall health and facilitating weight loss.
Key Takeaways:
Hormonal Influence on Weight Management: It's the hormones, not calories, that dictate how the body handles food. Manage insulin and cortisol for effective weight control.
Insulin as a Storage Hormone: Insulin is crucial for transporting glucose and protein to tissues and is triggered by the presence of these nutrients in the bloodstream.
Impact of Cortisol: High cortisol levels due to chronic stress can slow metabolism, increase fat storage around the midsection, and trigger cravings for high-energy foods.
Strategies for Hormone Management: Choose complex carbs, eat less frequently, prefer whole foods over processed options, and avoid artificial sweeteners to manage insulin.
Pattern Interrupt for Cortisol: Techniques like breath work, meditation, and other tools can help shift from protection mode to safety mode, reducing cortisol levels and promoting well-being
