BOOK AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU LIVE IN ONTARIO
When your exercise routine is bad for your hormones…
Have you ever found yourself exhausted on the treadmill, wondering if all this intense cardio is actually doing your body any favours? Are you dragging yourself to the gym to hit the elliptical six days a week? Or, are you too intimidated and tired to start exercising because you THINK you have to do tons of cardio and use the last molecules of energy you DO have to lose weight?
If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s striving for a healthy weight, it might be time to pause and rethink your approach.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I’ve seen too many women fighting a battle against their own bodies, believing that harder workouts mean better results. But what if I told you that when it comes to your weight AND hormonal health, less cardio could be what you need?
Here’s an exclusive look into the “Reform” module of my S.T.A.R.T. Five Step System Towards A Healthy Weight in Perimenopause (doors open Spring 2024).
My lesson on cardio is an eye-opener – I teach exactly why too much cardio (either too long or too intense) can actually throw your hormones off balance, leaving you more exhausted than energized. And of course, I talk about what the research shows DOES work. Take a look:
Let’s take the first column, steady cardio as an example.
In case you don’t know, as you pass through perimenopause, estrogen levels drop causing hot flashes, vaginal symptoms, low libido, joint pain, and increased abdominal fat (to name a few).
Do you see what steady cardio does to estrogen? Yep, that’s right, it drops it further.
This is a double whammy if you’ve also got elevated cortisol (a stress hormone).
This sneak peek is just the beginning. With START, you’ll learn how to work with your body, not against it. I want to help you learn the tools you need to be successful when it comes to your weight.
Remember, overworking yourself isn’t the answer unless you want to burn out.
