I used to put myself last. I worked too hard to meet my own high expectations. I felt completely exhausted, sick all the time, drained, irritable, and hopeless. And then I experienced burnout because I was so out of touch with my own body.

I use the 5 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine as the primary modality to help treat chronic conditions including but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and autoimmune disease. I apply evidence based, whole-person prescriptive lifestyle changes to treat and when used intensively often reverse such conditions. Applying these pillars into everyday life also provides effective prevention of these conditions.

During situations that make you feel threatened or upset, your body creates a stress response. This can cause a variety of physical symptoms, change the way you behave, and lead you to experience more intense emotions in your body. (Mental Health Foundation)

Not getting the amount of sleep your body needs can have serious consequences. Just one sleepless night can make it harder for you to focus and think clearly, and you might feel tired or sluggish during the day. You’re more likely to feel irritable and to exercise poor judgment when you haven’t had enough sleep. And sleep deprivation significantly elevates your risk. (The Sleep Foundation)

BELLY FAT IS A STRESS RESPONSE
BELLY FAT IS A STRESS RESPONSE
When our bodies think they are under threat they release cortisol the body's stress hormone. In turn, cortisol protects our bodies and enters a fight, flight or freeze response directing glucose storage into the fat cells of the belly in case we have no access to food for a while. However, in a time where food is abundantly available this fat storage doesn't get used up and with additional stress from our 21st-century lifestyle in which we make poor dietary choices, foods high in refined sugars, processed foods and unhealthy fats lead to further physiological stress and exacerbate our cortisol belly.

Stress - when short lived - is good as it keeps us out of danger and helps us to stay alert and motivated. However, when we stay in the stress response for too long, not only do we accumulate belly fat, but our bodies also become inflamed and this can give rise to many chronic diseases in the body associated with chronic systemic inflammation.
