In my experience, most people have dysregulated gut, nervous, and hormonal systems. Did you know that toxins can increase your weight? Some toxins have their own category called obesogens. "When your body gets an influx of these chemicals, it doesn't know how to break them down, so it stores them as fat. Do you have stubborn weight that won't go away? The purpose of your fat may be storing chemicals away from your organs-bodies are so smart! The flip side of this coin is that obesogens also block the hormonal receptor sites, making it difficult for hormones to enter your cells to do their job.* Here's the list of obesogens:
- BPA plastics, phthalates
- Atrazine
- Organotins
- PFOAs (Forever Chemicals)
- Soy protein isolates
- Monosodium glutamate
They are found in our foods, water, beauty products, cleaning products, cookware, and even our clothing. Lifetime's Signature Program helps release obesogens from the body. (Pelz, 2022)
If you are satisfied with your recent lab work and don't have any mystery, chronic, or autoimmune issues, I suggest embarking on a 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet or booking a complimentary session to learn more about how behavior-change coaching can help you lose weight and feel lighter.
