Weight Issues
Losing weight is a reward
For finding balance and harmony in the body overall.
The body is a highly intelligent adaptive organism. Every decision we take informs our body on the state of our world. Is it safe to let go of excess weight?
Chronic stress promotes increased fat mass. Adipose tissue serves as a toxin depot that increases in response to toxic load. Adipose tissue is endocrine tissue and produces oestrogen and extra cellular cortisone.
Ongoing often multi dimensional stress is at the root cause of excess weight.
Multi factorial stress creates high blood sugar that turns into insulin resistance which is at the root cause of weight gain. The individual solutions lay in the identification of the stressors & adapted lifestyle responses.
See a few common examples bellow.
Food sensitivities or allergies

Childhood toxicity
Heavy metals
Parasites or bacterias
From environmental factors, parasite, bacterias, heavy metals or family dynamics can promote a microbial imbalance called dysbiosis, and start a downward spiral of weight gain due to elevated stress hormones and fear of letting go.
Hormonal imbalance

Like hypothyroid or insufficient cholesterol due to low fat absorption that comes from poor digestion or poor absorption due to stress or low bile function can decrease the production of sex hormones. Oestrogen dominance specially at puberty and peri menopause. Too high or too low cortisol. Excess of insulin. Excessive exercise
