Is Stress Fattening?
The Link Between Stress, Inflammation and Weight Gain
Karen Wolfe, MMBS, MA |
| |
|
| Can stress make you fat and dieting even fatter? Because stress creates an inflammatory reaction at a cellular level, Dr. Wolfe will show how an integrated lifestyle approach to healing can make brain and body chemistry work for you and your patients. You will learn about the link between stress and weight gain, the role of cortisol and insulin in resistant weight loss, why the fat-free diet mentality has made us fatter, the role of sleep in replenishing the brain's energy, and how lifestyles can take a costly toll on brain chemistry. With a road map to move from stress to strength, you can help your patients to create positive support systems that work and establish enduring, self-motivated behavioral change. |
