Summary

What does meditation have to do with weight loss? Anything?

I say with strong conviction: a lot!

First and foremost, meditation decreases cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol levels impair decision making, increase hunger, increase cravings, impair sleep and blunt insulin responsiveness.

If you've ever had those frustrations or if you've wondered about meditation, you will want to hear this episode!

You can't, despite what you think.

0:59.4

The idea that it's hard, not all forms of meditation are hard, but some certainly are.

1:05.8

And also about how meditation impacts hormones and fat loss.

1:11.1

Some people see it as entirely unrelated and just this woo woo thing that weird people

1:16.3

do while they rub crystals together or something like that.

1:21.4
