Monday Master Blog: Hormones, a super important topic
You exercise, eat healthy, but the scale remains the same?
Your motivation disappears and your energy? It’s nowhere to be found!
Let's talk about hormones.
An incredibly important topic, and one that we talk about far too little.
Once you understand how deeply connected your hormones are to your lifestyle, you'll see your body (and your progress) in a whole new way.
Have you ever heard someone say, “I eat so little, but I just can't lose weight”?
Perhaps chronic stress is the reason.
When you are constantly stressed, your body produces cortisol, the stress hormone. High cortisol levels lead to fat storage (especially around your belly), poor recovery and low energy over time.
And in stressful moments, what do most people do?
They reach for sugary or comfort foods. This causes a spike in insulin, a hormone that, when continually elevated, causes your body to store fat instead of burning it.
But training helps, right? Yes, if you approach it smartly.
Regular strength training helps increase your testosterone levels, which plays a key role in:
– building lean muscle mass
– speeding up your metabolism
– improving focus and mental clarity
Add good sleep, smart nutrition, and stress management, and your hormones will work with you instead of against you.
So what's the gist of the story?
Take care of your body and it will take care of you.
– Eat with a purpose
– Train consistently
– Sleep deeply
– Reduce your stress
Do that, and you will not only see the difference, you will feel it.
Respect your body. Take care of it!
Take care of your body and it will take care of you!
