In this week’s Ask Me Anything episode, we answer all your questions about stress, hormones, and weight loss resistance. Losing weight is often a goal of our patients and many people we talk to. But why is it so difficult? We dive into what it means to have leptin resistance and how that affects everything from your weight to your stress levels. We also drive home the importance of cultivating healthy boundaries and incorporating stress management protocols into your life in order for your physical and mental health to thrive. And if you’ve ever been curious about the products we actually use and love, look no further than this week’s episode for the products we just can’t get enough of.
