🚨 Your Nervous System Might Be The Reason You Can’t Lose Weight

Are you gaining weight despite doing everything “right”?? This is something almost no one talks about. 🫠👇🏻

During perimenopause, hormonal fluctuations can put your nervous system into constant fight or flight mode. And when your body feels unsafe or stressed 24/7, it will absolutely resist weight loss. 👀

We had a patient who gained 50 lbs in 6 months without changing her diet or exercise routine. At the time, she thought she just needed more discipline… but the real issue was severe nervous system dysregulation caused by hormonal decline. 😩

And no, this isn’t always something you can fix with meditation or “managing stress better.” Sometimes your hormones are literally driving the stress response for no reason at all.

One thing we can actually track is HRV (heart rate variability), which gives insight into how stressed and depleted your body is.

✅ Optimal HRV: 50ms+🚨

Chronically low HRV: your body is likely struggling hard

Before HRT, the patient's average HRV was 11. Her body was so dysregulated that it eventually contributed to autoimmune issues too. 🫠

The biggest lesson to be learned? Running your body into the ground won’t heal it.

If your body feels like it’s fighting you, there’s usually a reason. Sometimes it’s not about trying harder… it’s about finally getting the support your body has been begging for. 🥹🫶🏻
