Natural weight loss for the individual

Weight is incredibly personal and specific to the individual.  When someone wants to lose weight, what works for one individual may not necessarily  work for another.  Weight loss products are prolific and the choices are mind boggling, it is truly a multimillion dollar industry.  The promise is always of the best and latest cure.

But can there really be a one pill cures all approach when it comes to weight loss?.

What all these pills, diets, powders, eating plans are missing or failing to take into account is that each person has an individual and very unique physiology, emotional and mental state that will either embrace the current trend and swear by it, embrace it briefly and then put all the weight on again plus extra or won’t embrace it at all and make the individual feel lke a failure.  It is impossible that therefore one size can work for all.

The key is to find out why the individual gains weight in the first place.  There can be sub-clinical conditions such as an underactive thyroid, adrenal fatigue and excess cortisol, sluggish pancreas or a digestive system too busy fighting candida and small parasites to even think about metabolizing food.  This can all cause a malabsorption in the small intestine, making the individual gain weight, feel bloated, gassy and uncomfortable. If any of the above are not doing their job weight loss is going to be near to impossible.  The food being consumed won’t be converted as intended and will then end up being stored as fat.

The physical imbalances are not the only aspects to take into consideration as our emotions and stress levels play a huge role in how we metabolize our food. W

We all have learned and observed behaviours and belief systems.  “Slim is the only acceptable shape and I will only be happy when I fall into that category.”  But is it as it seems that we have lost the most important aspect of diet ….. which is health not size.

There are in fact emotions  that sit behind certain food craving.  Generally salt cravings for example point towards adrenal fatigue and sugar cravings towards pancreatic conditions, small intestine discomfort towards small parasite and candida infestations.

But most of all fat is about protection and boundaries, some people have a very strong need to protect themselves, often because of trauma or bullying or low self-esteem.  There are known cases where ancestral experiences have prevented weight loss and literally encouraged obesity as it was still protecting itself from the starvation that the ancestors were experiencing.

Body Talk can be incredibly effective in terms of weight loss, we deal with real time issues, we can address organs, endocrines but also belief systems and learned behaviours, specific memories, food intolerances, slow metabolism and even allergies can interfere with weight loss.

The global crises which we have all been experiencing and living through since 2020, was a shock to the system and turned many towards the comfort that food provides.  This combined with not being able to exercise or be out in the sunlight as well as the stress of the situation would have impacted not only the inevitable weight gain but also sleep and thus the release of cortisol into the system.

This can affect insulin resistance.  This is key in weight loss as insulin tells the

body when to store fat and when to burn fat.  If your insulin levels are unbalanced there can be serious metabolic repercussions.
