Being Over Your Healthy Body Weight
1.
- Excess body fat, particularly around the waist, is associated with insulin resistance, a driver of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. It also raises the risk of hypertension, fatty liver disease, and certain cancers.
2.
- Visceral fat secretes inflammatory molecules that contribute to systemic inflammation, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases and arthritis.
3.
- Excess fat disrupts hormone balance, particularly estrogen and insulin, contributing to conditions like PCOS, infertility, and low testosterone.
4.
- Extra weight stresses joints, leading to a higher risk of osteoarthritis and chronic pain.
5.
- Being overweight increases blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart strain, raising the risk of heart disease.
Being Under Your Healthy Body Weight
1.
- Insufficient body weight can indicate poor nutrition, leading to deficiencies that impair immune function, bone health, and energy.
2.
- Inadequate fat and nutrient reserves reduce the immune system’s ability to fight infections.
3.
- Low weight often correlates with reduced muscle mass, compromising physical strength and increasing fall risk, especially in older adults.
4.
- Underweight individuals are at higher risk for osteoporosis due to lower bone density and hormonal imbalances.
5.
- Insufficient fat can lead to disrupted hormone production, affecting fertility, energy, and concentration.
Both extremes reflect systemic imbalances. When the body achieves metabolic and hormonal balance, it naturally supports healthy weight, vitality, and longevity.
Feeling Better, Living Better
Imagine a life where you don’t rely on multiple cups of coffee to power through your day. With a balanced metabolism, your body works with you, not against you. Energy, mood, and mental clarity improve, and the aches and pains caused by inflammation subside. Suddenly, your body isn’t holding you back—it’s propelling you forward.
When all of this starts clicking, you show up differently. You become more patient, more confident, and more engaged. You thrive. And who doesn’t want more of that?
