Dr Libby Weaver, nutritional biochemist really understands how stress impacts women’s hormonal balances and in this bitesize episode, she explains the link between elevated levels of cortisol and the storage of abdominal and upper back fat.
This is a great opportunity to hear how when you tune into yourself and use restorative practices  you can change how your body responds
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The pattern of adrenalin production today leads to inflammatory compounds in the body
We naturally produce effective anti-inflammatory substances and one of these is cortisol
We only produce cortisol as a response to long-term stress and one of the roles of cortisol is to slow down the body’s metabolism
One of the aspects of burnout is very low cortisol levels loss of anti-inflammatory protection
Our actions and behaviours are driven by our beliefs
It’s about whether the message is to burn fat or store fat
When you breathe diaphragmatically you are signalling to the body that you are safe

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘There are little things across the day that lead to adrenalin going up and up
‘Cortisol thickens you around your torso because this is where your most
important organs are’
‘Your body has extraordinary wisdom but it is responding to the information you give it’
