I was interviewed on podcast this week and I talked all about how stress can disrupt fat loss...

And more importantly, what to do about it!

This is just a little teaser...

šŸ’” Did you know the rules of weight loss change when chronic stress & hormonal imbalances are present?

It's not longer just calories in vs calories out.

There are steps that need to happen before that to prime your body for weight loss.

šŸ“¢ Listen to the episode to learn if your body is stuck in conservation mode, what got you there and how to get back to a place where your body can progress again!

PCOS got a new name today. It’s no longer Polycystic O***y Syndrome…. And instead, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).

As someone who works with women who have PCOS, here’s what I think of the change…

Who cares?

Instead of spending time, creating the perfect name for this condition… Why aren’t we instead educating doctors on how to support women with this condition?

It is crazy to me how often this is misdiagnosed.

And I’m talking misdiagnosed in both extremes.

Some women are suffering and never get a diagnosis.

Other women just have an irregular cycle and some fatigue and instantly get diagnosed…. when it’s likely not a condition they have!

And when a woman is diagnosed… very often a doctor simply suggests they go on birth control.

This is helpful for some women.

But it is not the only way to support women with PCOS.

In fact, as a woman’s health expert, I would suggest many other things before birth control.

🚨 The renaming of PCOS just goes to show that people are still focusing on the wrong things.

Now is the name more fitting?
Probably.

Does it sound way too much like PMS?
Absolutely… and that’s gonna cause lots of confusion.

Does the name matter?
I really don’t think so.

āž”ļø What’s my advice for women who have PCOS / PMOS?

Look at options outside of traditional healthcare if you’re struggling with symptoms and your doctor just wants to put you on birth control.

There are health coaches out there who spend a lot more time, on a daily basis, working with this condition that can support you.

Go out there and find the support that you need.

PSA šŸ‘‡

If your doctor prescribes you a GLP1 without first suggesting holistic weight loss solutions...

Run.

And if your doctor prescribes you a GLP1 without recommending you adjust your lifestyle in addition to taking the meds...

Run fast.

I know you want a magic pill and a quick fix.

But you can't hack your health like that.

āœ”ļø You still need to move your body.
āœ”ļø You still have to fuel your body appropriately.
āœ”ļø You still must form habits that support your well-being.

GLP1s are good tools for those who *NEED it.

But they are only that... a tool.

Not a quick fix.
Not an isolated solution.

I was wrong.

Back when it first started working in the fitness industry, I truly believed that diet and exercise were the KEYS to weight loss.

āœ”ļø I gave my clients good workouts.
āœ”ļø Helped them adjust their calories and macros.

And I honestly thought that was all they needed.

But then...

Diet + exercise stopped worked for me šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

šŸ’Ŗ I was working out a TON! (Hours a day)
šŸ³ And eating ridiculously healthy.

But I started gaining weight and feeling weaker.

AND I was dealing with insomnia, fatigue, bloating, a weak immune system and anxiety.

šŸ‘‡

Diet and exercise were not working anymore, and I had no idea why.

Now I know why:
My body was living in conservation mode.

The stress from my life and lifestyle took over my body.

And when that happens... your body is just trying to survive.

Weight loss is not survival.

So your body won't do it (and sometimes it will do the opposite).

🧔 All this to say, if you are working out and eating healthy but still stuck... the answer isn't to push harder.

It's to figure out if your body is primed for weight loss right now.

And if it's not... then step one to your weight loss journey should be getting your body primed for that.

That's what I help my clients do šŸ‘‹

My birthday is tomorrow!

And I've been reflecting on what I would like to tell younger versions of myself.

I am thinking about 10 years ago when I was 24. Back then I was a few years into my career in fitness and truly thought that diet and exercise were the keys to weight loss.

Oh how wrong I was.

Over the last decade I have seen how complex our bodies are.

If diet and exercise were all it took to lose fat and be healthy.... we would all have our dream bodies.

There are other things at play like hormones and stress.

So if I could travel back to when I was 24 and give myself some advice - I would say you need to deeply understand your body and your clients bodies.

Understand the patterns.

Understand the menstrual cycle.

Understand the symptoms of imbalance and how to tailor my advice to those things.

And I would create the system I have now for helping clients so much sooner

Do you relate?

I used to feel so stuck in my body, no matter what I did.

And I know I am not alone.

I recently talked with on The Overwhelmed Working Woman podcast about my journey and what I did to turn things around!

Stress ALSO looks like:

→ under-eating or constantly dieting
→ pushing through workouts when you’re already exhausted
→ poor sleep
→ never fully recovering
→ being sick, injured, or fighting off something
→ doing ā€œall the right thingsā€ā€¦ but your body still feeling off

And this is why when I help clients with stress-related fat loss issues,

I almost never tell them to ā€œjust remove stressā€ or simplify their schedule.

Because you can’t remove all stress.

It’s everywhere.

And most of it?
You don’t even realize your body is dealing with it. šŸ™ˆ

Which is why I hear this all the time:

ā€œUgh, I’m trying to lower my stress but it’s not working.ā€

I know.

Because that approach alone won’t work.

Not because you’re doing anything wrong...
but because you’re trying to solve it the wrong way.

You don’t need to eliminate stress.

āš ļø You need to change how your body is responding to it. āš ļø

That’s the shift.

And that's what I help my clients do.

Think your cortisol is high but still wondering why you can't lose weight? šŸ‘‡

This is why!

I recently talked with on the Chat Off The Mat podcast about stress & weight loss.

COMMENT 'podcast' for the link to listen.

We do a deep dive into how stress impacts weight loss and what to do about it!

And here's a sneak peek...

The answer isn't to "stress less" or remove stressful things in your life.
