Are you finding that fat is collecting around your mid-section and no matter how well you watch what you eat or how much you exercise that weight is not budging? If this is your story, your inability to lose weight probably has more to do with your hormone levels than anything else. Until you discover and correct any imbalances, trying to lose weight will be like shoveling sand against the tide. In this workshop you will learn 7 key strategies for fighting fat and losing weight, including: concrete solutions (not tricks, not using your will power) for controlling appetite and cravings; which foods turn off your fat creating genes and which foods interfere with your ability to burn fat; ten simple things you can do every day to keep your metabolism burning brightly; how to tell if your thyroid is creating weight problems for you and what to do about it; major sources of hormone mimicking chemicals and how to get rid of them; what HRT or birth control pills have to do with weight gain; how to have your hormone levels checked reliably; what steps need to be taken to safely break the vicious cycle of hormone related weight gain; and how to help your body begin to lose weight again.
