Does chronic stress affect weight loss? YES 😭 Until I understood how chronic stress was affecting my metabolism, I kept on treating the symptom instead of the cause. ➡️Persistently elevated cortisol can disrupt blood sugar regulation, increase insulin secretion, impair sleep, and make it easier to store fat, particularly around the abdomen. Over time, it also affects hunger, cravings, energy expenditure, and recovery. This is why simply eating less and exercising more often stops working. Alongside nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress management, there are some supplements that have been proven to help me and my clients: 💊magnesium glycinate 💊 omega-3s 💊 ashwaganda 💊l-theanine 💊lavender extract  If you feel like nothing has been working and want to lose +30lbs in the next 6 months, comment “RELEASE” and I’ll show you how to actually regulate your body so fat loss becomes easier! #hormonehealth #insulinresistance #womensfatloss #weightlosstransformation #metabolic...
