Hi Reader

So on Wednesday I shared with you about the connection between a nervous system that is dysregulated and fat accumulation in our body.

Today I follow up with an insightful conversation with my friend Lori Owens, host of the "Practical solutions for PTSD" podcast.

Did you know that being unable to progress in your weight loss could be related to trauma? 😯

If you wonder how one can relate to the other, this is a good episode for you.

Having this conversation with Lori helped me personally to slow down more, and be intentional about being present in the moment.

Something I have lost sight of for a while and that I need to bring back.

So many of us in our 40s are handling it all: the career, the home, the kids activities, church, our health,...

And these are all demands on our time, energy, emotions and body.

That's how Lori defined stress: demand.

This was a huge takeaway for me.

In this episode, Lori gave us 6 practical ways to go from the sympathetic activation - the fight-or-flight system - to sympathetic regulation: to recovery and rest.

A few moments in a day makes a world of a difference for our nervous system.

And this can also be where the breakthrough comes for someone with stubborn belly fat or weight.

Because when the body is in survival mode, it doesn't feel safe and holds on to fat. Especially visceral fat. Because fat is the source of energy the body pulls out of when threatened.

So listen to hear about the link between weight loss, nervous system and get 6 easy tools you can use at any time of the day to shift your body out of survival.
