Weight loss is not just about what we eat. Nourishing our bodies with good food is certainly important, but so is the often-overlooked contributor to weight gain and poor metabolic health - stress.  In this episode, Dr Lucy and Dr Mary explore how stress is quite literally making us fat and sick and explain the simple steps you can take to tackle stress for greater health, and easier weight loss. Chronic stress contributes to insulin resistance, weight gain, inflammation, heart disease, depression and a poor quality of life. But what can we do about it? It turns out that very small steps can make a huge difference. One of the most powerful ways to improve your resilience to stress is a small amount of daily meditation. Getting started is all you need. We have a super-easy and powerful guide to meditation that can get you going with as little as a minute a day.
