In this episode, I discuss how stress can affect our weight and provide strategies to manage stress and its impact on our weight. I explain the physiological effects of stress, including hormonal changes and increased appetite and cravings. I also talk about how stress can lead to emotional eating, irregular eating patterns, decreased physical activity, and other behavioral changes. Additionally, I explore the impact of stress on metabolic rate, sleep disturbances, and gut health. I recommend practices such as yoga, expressive writing, and positive self-talk as effective ways to deal with stress. The episode concludes with my reflections and prompts for listeners to assess their initial impressions, post-session reflections, and future plans for managing stress and weight. Overall, I emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing the connection between the mind and body in weight management.
