Weight loss harming you?

Good morning!

Lots of inquires  – and good questions – are coming in about our Awesome Autumn Cleanse.  Indeed, registration ends in just four more days, and we are almost full.  If you want to join us, please don’t miss out!

One great question raised is about Detoxification and Weight Loss.  This client was concerned that enhanced detoxification might slow down his weight loss progress.  Not only is that not the case, it is actually the opposite that is usually true.  Impaired detoxification and too high of a toxic burden can dramatically slow weight loss progress – and even be the primary reason for that pesky plateau that just won’t let you keep making progress.  It’s also a reason why weight loss can truly cause someone to feel worse…more pain, more stiffness, more depression, lower energy.   Feeling poorly often makes us crave refined carbohydrate foods as a balm, and thus our weight loss efforts are thwarted – or even reversed.  Welcome to a major cause of “yo-yo” dieting!  Toxicity.

CaptureI am inspired by this topic and want to share with you this week a quick video (article too) I made for the group of practitioners I teach about functional medicine.  It’s  a bit more in-depth, but you’ll be able to follow it just fine.  It’s called Is Weight Loss Harming Your Clients? Plateaus, Pain, Depression, and Toxicity.   In many cases, the unfortunate answer to the title question can be Yes!

If weight loss (big or small) or healthy weight maintenance is a priority for you, then don’t miss this quick video.  And consider joining us for the Awesome Autumn Cleanse to ensure your own weight loss progress continues and is sustainable.

Eat on purpose.  Live on purpose.  Choose to Be well!
