Summary

⚡️ A bite-sized boost to your feed!

Frustrated by unexplained weight gain? Stress could be the culprit. Chronic stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, affecting metabolism and energy storage.

Chronic stress can slow down metabolism, making it harder to lose weight eating the same foods - especially for menopausal and perimenopausal women. Extreme dieting and excessive exercise can backfire, increasing cortisol levels and storing fat as a protective mechanism. Knowledge is power! Tune in and learn.
