You might not believe I did this. Twice.
You aren't going to believe I did this... twice
When I was in my late 30s I had a consultation for liposuction.
Then again in my early 40s
Both times were BEFORE I found Functional Medicine
In my late 30s(I had my kiddo at age 35), I had started a new birth control pill and felt like I "blew up". My abdominal fat and waist circumference increased and I felt horrible about myself.
However I wasn't even making the connection between the hormonal inputs and my body shape change I didn't go through with it at that time, TBH it was just a financial decision.
If I had the money to follow through I probably would have
Then in my early 40s I revisited that thought and had another consultation for lipo and/or cool sculpting.
I was working out 6-7 days a week and eating what I thought was a "clean" diet and still gaining belly fat.
Again... I had no idea it was the cortisol from all the over exercising and undereating that was causing that abdominal fat and liposuction was NOT the answer
The financial part still detoured me from following through
Once I found Functional Medicine and started actually working on the CAUSES of this increased fat I found my answer
For me it included:
✅ FEWER workouts
✅ MORE food
✅ MORE rest
✅ BETTER nutrition
✅ STRESS reduction
✅ GUT healing protocol
So if you are feeling desperate, I hear you. I was there too.
But now I am SO glad that the financial piece(or the Universe) prevented me from following through because otherwise I might not have been pushed to search for the ROOT of my issues.
If you are ready to get to the root(s) and stop spending valuable time and energy on the superficial stuff send me an email or reach out on social media. We should chat!
