Ever cut calories, only to feel more stuck?
Your body isn’t working against you, it’s protecting you.
When intake drops too low, the body shifts into conservation mode: slowing metabolic output, lowering thyroid signaling, burning less energy, and hanging onto more.

Low minerals and unstable blood sugar only add more stress to the system, increasing cortisol and encouraging fat storage (especially around the midsection).
This isn’t a discipline problem.
It’s biology doing its job.

The good news is that when you consistently nourish your body, the metabolism can speed up. Digestion improves, energy rises, the nervous system feels safer, and body composition can shift more naturally.
If you’ve been eating less and feeling more frustrated, it might be a sign your body needs more support and nourishment, not less.
Your body needs to feel safe enough to burn fat, instead of store it.

✨Ladies, before you stress over that number on the scale… remember this:

It might just be your uterus doing its thing! ❤️‍🔥
During your cycle, your uterus can quadruple in weight and expand by up to 15% — plus, hormonal changes can make you hold up to 5 pounds of water weight 💧😮

So if the scale suddenly jumps? It’s not fat it’s biology.
Your body is incredible, adaptable, and dynamic. 💃🏽

The power of self discipline

03/10/2025

When you’re constantly rushing from one task to another, your body stays in a state of chronic stress.
This keeps cortisol elevated, which disrupts your entire hormonal cascade.

Rest allows your nervous system to shift from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) dominance.

This shift is essential for optimal hormone production, particularly progesterone, which needs a calm internal environment to thrive.

Whether it’s sitting in silence, pursuing a creative hobby, or simply allowing yourself to be bored, these moments of “nothing” are actually moments of deep hormonal restoration
