THRIVE rather just SURVIVE at midlife - tips to live well!

Stress

Do you know if you came to see me as a coaching client, complaining about weight gain around your belly, I would immediately ask you a question that you probably wouldn’t be expecting?

I wouldn't ask you about how much you exercise.

I wouldn't ask you about how many glasses of wine you drink a week.

I wouldn't even ask you about your diet and what you eat.

No, the first thing I would ask you about are your stress levels!

Stress is commonly associated with weight gain.

During stressful times, our adrenal glands release large amounts of adrenaline and cortisol into our body and it is these hormones that contributes to weight gain, particularly around the mid-section, where women have a large number of receptors.
