“Doc, I want to lose weight!”. “Why is it that I can’t seem to lose weight?”. This is a daily cry from the clients I see in my practice. And it makes sense! Our food system is toxic, stress levels are at an all-time high, and thyroid conditions are through the roof!Obesity and severe weight gain went up 12% in less than 20 years. As of about four years ago, one in three adults was overweight, and two out of five adults were considered obese. And just as we live in a culture of appreciating all types of bodies (yeah! That’s incredible!), fat around our organs is not a body image issue. It’s downright unhealthy. And it’s killing us.
Although the American diet and sedentary lifestyles are problematic, there are many other issues at play, such as toxicity, thyroid concerns, elevated cortisol, hormonal imbalance, food sensitivities, mitochondrial dysfunction, sympathetic dominance, and many more.
Most of us already know some of the most basic principles of weight loss, such as watching what we eat and moving more. But sometimes the usual approaches no longer work, and the weight simply won’t come off. Individualizing the approach is the way through.
Join Dr. Mel deBoer, ND, RN and CrossFit athlete in this workshop for optimizing metabolism. As a recovering bulemic, this topic is near and dear to my heart. We’ll cover metabolism from a lens of recovering from food trauma (anybody out there with diet-obsessed mothers in childhood?!) as well as the physiological, emotional, and mental matters behind weight gain or an inability to lose weight and remedy options for an individualized approach.
