Perimenopause Fat Loss + The Vagus Nerve | MMP Ep. 120

You know how much we LOVE to talk about Stress here at Vitality. We often talk about cortisol and the actions that take place in your body to produce cortisol and what happens once it has been released, but how does our body identify things as stressors? Coach Chelsey and I did a webinar in the Facebook Community so I had to dive into it on the podcast because it was too good not to share with everyone! I always say “you think you are fine - but your body is not fine” - this will help you really understand what I mean by that. I cover: - What the Vagus nerve is - How it influences your hormones + ability to lose weight - Heart rate variability - How to improve your vagal tone to help you feel great and lose weight! To get the guide that goes with this podcast head the Facebook community (where we also have 100s of webinars and guides for you tackle your hormones and your waistline!)
