Hidden Factors Beyond The Belly

EP 61 Exploring the interconnects of weight, belly fat, energy, hormonal and metabolic health

Welcome to the the Healthy You Naturally wellness journey, an extension of 30+ years knowledge and experience as a Natural Health Practitioner!

I don’t know about you, but I love exploring the links and connections of what I am feeling and experiencing because it helps me better understand what is truly going on in my body.

It is the approach I share with all my clients, and my hope for you in this episode will demystify and clarify that:

“Your body is not driving you crazy, it’s talking to you!”

We’ll explore sustainable solutions that nurture the body’s natural balance, solutions that last because they work with our body, not against it.

In a world where we are now pre-conditioned to expect quick results (and I totally understand why), it’s equally important to recognize the lasting benefits of an empowered and balanced approach to long-term health and wellness.

Let’s get started with this “wise saying” from Benjamin Franklin:

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

I am sure you've heard it before; I chose this quote as it couldn't be more relevant to this topic. Interestingly, Benjamin Franklin was a strong advocate for proactive vs. reactive health.

With 16 ounces in a pound, that’s a 16x multiplier, reminding us that a little prevention can have a powerful impact. And I would add it, in reality, it is frequently much more!

Personally, I find this very powerful, encouraging and hope you will too!

We will be embracing that mindset, a method of thinking to explore how a few intentional choices can create meaningful, enduring changes in our health, especially when it comes to managing: 

• belly fat
• energy
• hormonal balance
• blood sugar
• and much more

Did you know that, according to the CDC, nearly 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes? That means someone in your family, workplace, or even you could be affected, and most people don’t even realize it!

Prediabetes isn’t just about blood sugar; it’s a sign that your body is struggling to maintain balance, which can lead to stubborn weight gain, low energy, hormonal imbalance and even long-term health issues like heart disease if left unaddressed.

The good news?

Taking deliberate, thoughtful steps like we’ll discuss in Episode 61 can help you take control and turn things around.

I invite you to join me and perhaps think of your health like a tree: vibrant leaves relying on strong, healthy roots. Similarly, our body thrives when foundational factors like insulin regulation, gut balance, and liver function are nurtured. We’ll talk about that and much more!

The reality for most of us is that there are a lot of complex factors that influence us daily, this episode will discuss knowledge and experiences that have proven effective, which I sincerely hope resonate with you!
