Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh

What is weight set point theory?


Listen Later

Join me as I try to explain weight set point theory, and help you to discover how understanding it can positively impact your relationship with your body.

I'm talking about:

  • Weight set point theory, which proposes that our bodies have a natural weight range or set point that it strives to maintain.
  • The biological regulation behind weight set points, including the role of hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, and insulin in appetite regulation and energy balance.
  • What can affect your weight set point.
  • How your body might resist significant and sustained weight loss or gain.
  • How lifestyle changes can influence and shift the set point over time.
  • Shifting the focus from weight to health and well-being.
  • The importance of body acceptance and self-compassion, and the benefits of intuitive eating, joyful movement, and prioritizing overall well-being.
  • Understanding and accepting your body's natural balance, and how that can lead to a more compassionate and empowering relationship with yourself.
