The point of today's class is to highlight some of those lesser known things that can interfere with your ability to lose weight, or maintain your homeostasis (body balance). Dysfunctions of the body aren’t always obvious.

Have you ever heard of someone with thyroid problems? They most likely have a lower metabolism because of it. It makes it hard to lose weight. The nerves that go to the thyroid come out of the neck. Hmmm.

Now, thyroid problems could be also be from iodine depletion, adrenal fatigue, soy consumption, tap water, common tooth paste, eating bread can drop thyroid output, and dieting too much and resticting your calories too hard.

You may have just read that last paragraph and thought, “what are you talking about?” toothpaste? water? soy?

Healthy metabolism and healthy weight is a reflection of lifestyle.

Quick fix celebrity trainer diets don’t work in the long run. If you’ve neglected your body for 20 years, it’s going to take you some time to recover it and hard work. What I want you to learn is an all around healthier lifestyle.

If you are this far along, I’m proud of you, you’re interested in learning. In the last email I wanted you to write down some emotional scars, basically negative talk. If you speak to yourself or about yourself poorly, you will sabotage any efforts you try and make.

You could spend a ton of money on psychotherapy, but try some EFT (emotional freedom technique) first. This site has a good lay out that will help you with the basics, just scroll down to the bottom.

It dove tails nicely with what I was saying about the nervous system. If your brain is working against you, you’ll never succeed.

You can start with that everyday.

So lets say you are an emotional rockstar. Where else can weight be hanging on?

Take a quick look at this list. Figure out the percentage of problems.
