    I had to leave a stressful marriage to save my health…cortisol was flatlined and adrenals were just spent. Being with a narcissistic person is tough on the body…if you are doing everything else right this may be your issue as well. Life is so much better and my body after a few years has been healed- takes a lot of time and love

      Was with a narcissist for 5 years and he literally sucked the souls out of me. Same thing… he needed to go for my health. In complete adrenal fatigue. I could not exercise with out getting sick. It’s been 4 years and I still don’t think my body is out of it yet. I am way better but I still have to not over do it with physical stress. I am down a good 30 plus pounds though since that ended but it took awhile.

    I’m so glad I found this video. I recently went through a very stressful time in my life, was still working out, but still felt weak, and ended up gaining a lot of weight in my stomach area. I wasn’t sleeping a lot at all, fatigued, and dragging all day.

    You have been a game changer for me!! Went from 210 to 140 with whole30.
    Unfortunately that lifestyle did not give me a positive perspective on certain foods. Foods I needed to gain muscle. I ended up with muscle injury because I wasn’t correctly feeding my body. Thank you for all of your videos. It has helped me regain a better relationship with food, and knowledge I need to get back on tack.

    Menopause is the cause of my tummy. I’m slim all over and fit. I tried smaller sized meals and stomach muscle exercises and that helped but I think it needs a long time to reduce the fat.

    Would love to get 7-9 hours of sleep but I keep waking up earlier than I want too. What has worked for me is eating more protein vs carb and fat. And sometimes I use I.F. And I have been more active and am getting outside more and lifting weights. I lead day off with eggs or yogurt. You need to build more muscle. The types of calories u ingest matter bc they impact hormones differently and the refined carbs are super-addictive vs whole foods. Need to get good protein. Definitley try and remove refined carbs and refined oils. The stress reduction is tough if working for a company that demands a lot in a short period of time. And you need to an meals and try and not bring cookies into the house. Hey, I am not perfekt and still have addictions. Thx food industry.

    Sleeping 6-8 hours to me it’s impossible right now.. I have 3 small kids who don’t like to sleep lol.. I haven’t slept seven or even six hours straight since I had my first daughter five and half years ago. Having two kids in two years didn’t help lol But I’m eating on a calorie deficit and I started working out again so hopefully I’ll start seeing a difference soon in my waist.. I already lost 12 pounds just with eating clean.. I’m 4’11 109lbs
    Love your videos! Thanks for all the info

  • @aprilbatty8369

    I find lifting weights relaxing also and I really enjoy it but I was told doing it to much could stress my body and raise cortisol. Is that very likely?

    • @MichelleRoots
      @MichelleRoots  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes I also find it as a stress relief, too much meaning like 6-7 days per week heavy with no recovery days or rest could increase cortisol, but as long as you are recovering properly and allowing for rest days you should be fine :)

    I do 20 min of HIIT on my mini trampoline plus 45 minutes of weight training 3 days a week. Then I do 1 hour of dance class twice a week on other days. And then do active rest like walking the other days.
    I find that doing HIIT and weight training on same day has sky rocketed my appetite. However I noticed belly fat seemed to melt like butter despite eating more

  • @faithbrooks3709
    @faithbrooks3709 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    SHOULD I BE CONSUMING MY PROTEIN BASED ON THE BALANCE RATIO (like 40%P & C and 20%F) … OR… DO I STICK TO PROTEIN AT 1g/lb? I ask because these numbers are veryyyy different because I am releasing a lot of body fat.

    • @MichelleRoots
      @MichelleRoots  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hi Faith if you are currently losing a lot of body fat, keep doing what you are doing as it's working and don't worry too much about the numbers. I always recommend trying to hit the 1g of protein per day as a starting point then try to hit the other macro percentages once you are hitting your protein goal regularly. I hope this helps!

      I had this during a very stressful time in my life. My naturopath said to get out for a nice walk; not too fast; in the early am. Rain or shine. Early daylight is huge. Only 1 cup of coffee in morning. Also afternoon or evening walk or after dinner if possible. Eating dinner 3 hours before bedtime with a serving of complex carbs.
      Evening routines that you find relaxing. I took Epsom salt baths some evenings; reading; gardening; cup of herbal tea few hours before bed; I used lavender essential oils on bottoms of my feet before bed; dark room; no phone / iPad use unless listening to things that relax; try to go to bed same time every evening. My naturopath put me on ashwaganda , Maca; and b12 for my adrenal fatigue. Also; lowering stress wherever possible. For me it was toxic work environment; and being in a very narcissistic relationship; and being a single mom of many kids, working 3 jobs and mainting their lifestyle / activities etc. Really being kind to yourself; and doing things that fills your cup putting yourself as a priority. Hugs ❤

    I lost my husband of 20 years in a really bad automobile accident on November 16th 2021. We had been together since we were 12 years old he was my best friend for 32 years. I assume my cortisol levels are completely out of control because I have lost literally over half of my hair and I don't know if grief has anything to do with cortisol levels but I'm falling apart, I can't lose weight, I'm not eating, I get plenty of sleep and my hair is just falling out. How do you reduce cortisol levels when you're grieving?

    • @MichelleRoots
      @MichelleRoots  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hello I'm so very worry to hear about your husband, I can't even imagine what you are going through. My best advice is give yourself the time to grieve and start small. If you are not eating right now, start by starting to eat small meals through the day with mainly whole foods. Find a form of movement that you enjoy even if it's just walking, start by walking once a day and listening to a podcast or yoga etc... Focus on the basic healthy habits like sleep, drinking water, eat more fruits and veggies, and move your body when you can :) I hope this helps and my heart goes out to you

    Well sleep part isn’t going to work. I’m forced to be on a cpap machine to keep my job. The cpap causes much stress and bad sleep. I’m tired every day now. I have told the doctors but they don’t listen. Honestly I’m starting to believe my only way off of it is to die. Because I’m not changing careers.

    • @MichelleRoots
      @MichelleRoots  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hello, I'm sorry to hear this; however, with that being said sleep is only one of the factors that could be affecting belly fat. Adding more movement to your day, strength training, eating more protein and clean nutrient dense foods can also help even if sleep isn't as good as you would like :) I hope this helps!

      Hey Valerie...hmmm a lot of possibilities here, are you tracking your protein intake? Do you lift and do cardio or only lift? Do you feel bloated? possible you have a food intolerance? How much water do you drink? Lot's of reasons why this could be happening. Check out my video on body recomp macros and calories and compare that to what you are currently doing? I hope this helps!
