Many women try to be everything to everyone, and self-care becomes an afterthought. They fall into a pattern of constantly living in survival mode, where hormone and stress levels are elevated. The result is reduced cognitive function, poor memory, low energy, irregular periods and disrupted sleep.

It also lowers your blood pressure and gives your body a boost of natural energy.

Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss
