Countless women come to me saying “I just can’t stop overeating at night!”. From here we have to dig deep to get to the roots of the problem before we can change habits and get them on track for their health and weight loss goals (this one major benefit of health coaching!)

Stress isn’t always bad. In fact, we need a certain amount of stress to thrive. What is more commonly the issue with stress is the amount and type of stress balance in our day to day lifestyle. Stress, or too much of it, is a root to so many discomforts and diseases.

For women, stress tends to be at the root of things like sex hormone imbalances, pms and menstrual cycle dysregulation, digestive discomforts, slow metabolism and weight loss resistance.

You might think you have all bases covered, you’re exercising regularly and eating well (and tracking your nutrients, proteins, carbs etc) in a sustainable way but you’re just not hitting your weight loss goals. Why did the plan work for your colleague but not for you? Sound familiar? It does to our health coaches. No matter how strict your diet or how flawless your fitness routine, these 8 factors will be at the root of your results.

A leading cause of weight struggles that I find among clients is stress and lack of sleep. They go hand in hand and can shape everything in your life without you even realizing it. The techniques I share here will help you to find the space in your long days to manage your stress, restore your sleep and optimize your health.

These range from seconds-long practices like aromatherapy and humming (hear me out!) to minutes-long reading and boundary setting. Give them a go and see how they change your mind, body and lifestyle.
