0:00.0	Ain't no one talking about this. If you have weight gain and you cannot lose weight, there is a nervous
0:05.0	system component. Repressed emotions can lead to every dysfunction that is causing you to gain weight
0:12.0	and not be able to lose it. From hormones, from inflammation, from thyroid dysfunction,
0:17.5	all of it can be rooted back down into unprocessed trauma in your body by not feeling
