There are hidden factors causing your metabolism to stay stuck
Pregnancy actually increases metaboslim, but unfortunately, after baby arrives your metabolism slows down. Finding out how to master your metabolism and support your body postpartum can transform your body.
Postpartum Metabolism Needs Support
Your metabolism during postpartum and breastfeeding is trying to win an uphill battle.
Imagine you've been running on a flat surface, crusing along for some time, and then you hit a hill. Running the same pace up that hill is going to be a lot harder.
What if that hill doesn't go away, but gets steeper? Then, it just stays that way, and you never get a downhill.
Most likely, you are gonna run out of steam and end up walking.
This is exactly what happens to your metabolism with the hormonal shifts, increased blood sugar levels, insulin levels and cortisol levels that all create a steaper and steaper hill for your metabolism to chug up. It just can't keep up the same pace.
Combining diet and exercise is a good start to get your blood sugar back on track, but your hormones and insulin levels need help. Supplements help lower the hill, so your metabolism can get up faster!
Fatigue + Low Energy
When your metabolism is running slowly, your body isn't getting the energy and nutrients it needs as fast as it should. Rather than converting your fuel to energy, a slow metabolism stores it as fat - all because this is what your hormones and insulin levels are telling it to do!
Crazy Insulin Levels
Insulin issues actually can start during pregnancy, as your body is dealing with more weight gain and cravings, the extra weight often throws your insulin and blood sugar out of wack. Then, when baby comes the insulin and cravings wreak havok on your metabolism. Your metabolism can't properly convert food to fuel with your blood sugar high, causing a major block to your metabolic function.
High Cortisol Levels
Increased blood sugar, followed by increased insulin also leads to increased cortisol. Lack of sleep, stress of a new baby, and overall stress during healing postpartum increase cortisol levels. This is another disruptor to your metabolism, making it hard for your metabolism to work as fast as it wants too. The key isn't to workout more and eat less, because this can drive cortisol higher! Getting your metabolism help from natural nutrients and supplements is a game-changer.
