Optimal Weight

We have a solution for you!

Are you someone, who:

• Struggling with your weight?

• Craving all the “wrong” foods?

• Tried pills, exercise and constant dieting – but with no real results?

Only high cortisol and raised insulin levels directly cause weight gain. 

Yes, contrary to popular opinion, weight gain is not simply all about bad eating habits and lack of exercise, the real reasons behind this are high cortisol and raised insulin levels.

So, what causes this?

 Factors such as emotional wellbeing, hormones, allergies and our metabolism can affect your cortisol and insulin levels. However, another major factor that’s also tied up into this is stress.

Stress can’t be ignored!

 As you’ve probably already heard, stress – particularly long-term stress – can have a seriously negative impact on your body.

When we are stressed our cortisol levels go up, which results in us craving sweet, fatty and salty foods. Consumed over time, this obviously leads to weight gain. Also, when our bodies are faced with high amounts of sugary food, this gives way to excess glucose that plays havoc with our pancreas’ distribution of insulin. Too much insulin increases the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Did you know that all stress is triggered by our beliefs? (Beliefs = The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and our life). We interpret everything that happens to us, either as bad, neutral or good. Anything we interpret as bad, creates stress.

If our goals conflict with our subconscious beliefs, we have a chance of one in a million to be successful in reaching those goals permanently. We will continuously sabotage our own good intentions and everything feels like one huge struggle. If our goals are in line with the subconscious beliefs, it is feels much easier. The problem with our beliefs is that we are often unaware of them, yet they run our life 95% of the time.
