Is stress causing your weight issues or are your weight issues causing you stress?
Activating the pre-frontal cortex through Higher Brain Living Sessions can certainly have a more direct effect on how the body processes stress. Less stress response of the lower fear-based brain equals less stress induced chemical and hormonal surges. Activating the pre-frontal cortex also helps one make better choices about diet. With an activated pre-frontal cortex, better food choices are easier. Many people have weight problems as a direct result of how their bodies’ are dealing with stress. This over-active lower brain response of fight or flight is what triggers people to reach for the so-called comfort foods. This is a coping mechanism triggered by the lower-brain response. Relieving that trigger, through Higher Brain Living sessions can make following through on a diet and fitness plan easier!
