In my practice I see different people with different goals, but there is one thing in common, people want to see results quickly. I tend to manage expectations and explain that it is difficult to reverse your health and bring body back to balance if for many years you have lived with a condition. The body needs time to heal and lifestyle change is not a fad diet to achieve a long term goal.
Many people turn to quick-fix diets, cleanses or extreme food rules hoping for fast results. But the reality is far different:
University of Birmingham (Alabama) found that over 80% of people who lose a substantial amount of weight will regain it within 12 months or a few years. That is not the way to live and it is also unkind to your own body.
The body adapts to loss of weight by decreasing metabolic rate and increasing hunger signals it is biologically wired to resist sustained change in body-weight. Ask any personal trainer.
Diets that focus on rapid results often leave out the skills needed for maintenance: the right nutrition, movement habits (it doesn't have to be gym), stress and sleep regulation, mindset.
What this means for you, and how to do it differently:
Healing (especially for women’s health, hormones, stress, injury recovery) takes time. Your body deserves patience, consistent support, and a foundation of rest, nutrition, emotional care and movement not shortcuts.
A sustainable lifestyle change is about what you do for a lifetime, not what you endure for a month then stop.
Choose habits that you can live with: quality sleep, nourishing food (not deprivation), movement that supports your body and recovery, oils and rituals that support your nervous system and hormones
The right advice matters. If you’re working with a practitioner who understands female health (hormones, PCOS, endometriosis, pregnancy loss, liver support) and lifestyle integration you’re far more likely to create lasting results than with the next new diet plan.
Remember: when you build from a foundation of healing. It is not only about chasing numbers on a scale you’re supporting your body’s resilience, hormone balance, nervous system and long-term vitality. Sooner or later your body will call for help.
It is not about me, so ask yourself truly: Will the approach I am taking honour my body’s healing process? Will it support my hormones, my nervous system, my daily life?
If not then perhaps it is time to consider the change. Work with your body not against it.
