Last week we covered the challenging part of weight loss by diving into the psyche of the mind to understand your relationship with yourself and with food. If you missed it, check it out because it is a VITAL first step for ANYONE that is hoping to lose weight.
Today, we are going to roll up our sleeves and dive into the nitty gritty scientific components. Now, this could be an entire course and even a lifelong study, but I am going to give you the Cliff Notes because we have to empower your body to let go of the stubborn weight.
When I worked in a metabolic testing lab, coaching practitioners in how the body works at the level of the cell, I had the distinct pleasure to learn just how the metabolism functions.
Your metabolism regulates almost every aspect of your body’s functions, specifically your neurotransmitters, hormones, energy production and your body’s ability to clean itself. This manifest in your moment-to-moment experiences by determining how much energy you have, how well you are able to focus, to think, to sleep and so much more. Your metabolism affects your mood, regulates your appetite, and even impacts your sex drive!

So, when it is working and firing, you feel alive, inspired and unstoppable. During this time your body lets go of stubborn weight easily because it is absorbing and utilizing your nutrients. But when your metabolism slows down, you hold on to stubborn weight, feel lethargic and like crap in your body, you become stressed and emotional, usually struggle with insomnia… things go downhill.
How does this happen?
It all starts with the body’s ability to clean itself – to detoxify itself of all the toxins and chemicals and pollutants that are entering the system. These add up, and then the body is no longer able to deal with the toxic load.
Then things start to go downhill…
This is the exactly why it is critical to cleanse your body 3 times a year using a proven strategy that incorporates herbal supplementation and plant-based nutrition. It is the best way to keep your body functioning at its peak, and empowering your metabolism to fire at top speed.
You see, toxins block your metabolic reactions. And as the metabolism slows, and the toxins accumulate, the body will store these toxins in your tissues, organs and cells – and specifically your fat cells.
This is one of the many reasons my cleanse participants not only lose weight, but their body changes shape. Their fat cells shrink, and as a result of the “purging,” they feel light and free, not only in their body, but in their life.
Just like you must change the oil in your car, you also have to clean out your body. It is absolutely the smartest, fastest, most effective way to start and accelerate any weight loss initiative.
One of the biggest flaws I see in people’s weight loss plan – in their behavior and in their mindset – is the starvation/deprivation approach that requires they skip meals or only eat bars and shakes.
Your body wants REAL FOOD, in its purest state and form.
It NEEDS nutrients in order to carry out our life functions.
It just needs the RIGHT food, at the proper time, and it needs to be empowered to absorb these nutrients.
Okay, so I quickly addressed how critical it is to keep our metabolism firing, and this being one of the key components to weight loss. But I am about action.
The information age is over. We no longer need to collect data, we need to APPLY it, and that’s what I want to help you do.
For any goal in life, success requires proper planning. The more detailed, the better, and weight loss is no exception to the rule. It’s important to have your plan laid out before you so you don’t fall into the regular routine and then become frustrated.
For this reason, I’ve actually constructed a FREE Weight Loss Bible for you – The Ultimate Guide to Weight Loss. In this free guide, I will provide you with a game plan for your nutrition, a blueprint for your lifestyle habits and behaviors, and finally my stellar Health Hacks for short cuts and quick tips.
But I don’t only want to give you a guide – I want to give those of you that are ready to create positive change and see real results in your body and in your life an opportunity to take bold, confident action and commit to yourself.
Starting June 1st, I am leading a virtual group cleanse, my 21 day VIP Group Cleanse, with internationally known psychic medium Lisa Williams.
3 years ago Lisa lost 60 lbs on my program, and she has kept it off ever since, continuing to follow a modified version of the nutrition guidelines of my program, and returning to do the cleanse 3 times a year.
You see, Lisa KNOWS how important it is to clean out the body, and how this accelerates her efforts to keep herself on track AND to create empowering health so she can run her mega empire.
