adulthood with severe weight issues that led me to my triple board certification as well as writing my book to share my story explain when you say that all it takes to lose weight is a cocktail of sweat strategy and a dash of sass that all sounds great and easy but when it comes you know to actually doing something a lot of us struggle with that first step absolutely I think anyone who's struggling with weight in 2025 should really work on it and get Slims so s set a goal create a plan work consistantly but also adjust that plan along the way L lower the impact of stress life is stressful and stress is necessary but we need to lower the impact of our stress in our health with ways that res resonate with us individually in order to help us lose weight help our heart health brain health Hormone Health and for our body to function better overall things like meditation deep breathing exercise engaging in a community that you find supportive all really help to also change and challenge our mindset beliefs and behaviors I improve Sleep Quality because rest and Recovery is a vital for the body to be able to function so it's very important to engage in good sleep hygiene so that our cells and our hormones can reset and our cells can make and produce energy M maintain healthy metabolism and hormones this is so important to find a healthcare provider to test the chemical messages in our body so that's things like our thyroid testosterone estrogen cortisol insulin but also fat and glucose metabolism this is so important in order to be able to create a personalized plan to create an
