You've tried everything to lose weight and nothing works- Here's what's really going on · SAY GRACE | Weight Loss + Health for Overwhelmed Women- Stress, Busy, Consistency, Realistic, Motivation, Starting Over, No Restrictions

• 0:40
  Okay, y'all, if you have ever said the words, I've tried everything to lose
• 0:45
  weight and nothing's worked, I need you to stay with me today.
• 0:49
  Okay, I need you to lock in on this episode because there's something clearly that you don't know.
• 0:55
  Like if you're trying everything and everything is not working,
• 0:59
  there's something that you don't know.
• 1:01
  And so today we're going to explore that. And like, I know, I know y'all,
• 1:05
  like you feel like you've done it all.
• 1:07
  You feel exasperated with the different diets, the different strategies,
• 1:12
  you know, cutting carbs, adding carbs back, exercising, doing more cardio,
• 1:17
  doing more weight-bearing exercises, you know, maybe even like supplements or
• 1:21
  shots or different, I'm crazy.
• 1:24
  There's so many crazy things out there too, you know, that I'm sure you've tried
• 1:27
  and like you still feel stuck.
• 1:30
  And so it can really begin to feel like something's wrong with you, which sucks.
• 1:34
  Like no one wants to feel like, oh my gosh, Something must be wrong with me.
• 1:38
  This is why I'm not losing weight. And it becomes...
• 1:41
  Desperate feeling. It becomes a like exhausting feeling like you're just you
• 1:46
  are so in need of a change, right?
• 1:50
  And so this is so common. And it's actually like I'm seeing it happen more and
• 1:54
  more often, where people are like, on the internet, I'm seeing it a lot on the
• 2:00
  internet where people are like, you know, I've tried everything.
• 2:03
  I've tried eating right.
• 2:04
  I've tried exercise and nothing's working. Like, what are you doing to lose weight? Right.
• 2:09
  Or on the flip side, people are selling things and they're like, I tried everything.
• 2:13
  You know, I tried tracking and eating clean and exercising and nothing worked
• 2:18
  for me until I found this supplement or I found this gray market peptide or I found, you know,
• 2:25
  and so it makes like they are speaking right to your pain point, right?
• 2:30
  When they're putting that out there, because you're like, me too. I've tried everything.
• 2:33
  Okay maybe this gray market peptide from China is gonna be what does it for
• 2:38
  me you know and and so it's concerning because this statement is validating
• 2:44
  people's desperate decisions.
• 2:47
  Right like people like like people are choosing to get
• 2:50
  on the shot when maybe they didn't want to like they
• 2:53
  said they would never do that and then now all of a sudden they're
• 2:56
  on it right or they are seeking those gray
• 2:59
  market peptides online when they know good
• 3:02
  and dang well it's not not good for them or it can be you know risky because
• 3:08
  it is a from the gray market right or doing like people doing some kind of crazy
• 3:14
  cleanse or diet or anything like just to see if it works like I've heard of
• 3:20
  people going as far as like.
• 3:23
  Going on a month-long wellness retreat to see if they can get their own like
• 3:27
  Biggest Loser style, you know, journey going on or whatever.
• 3:32
  And so I want to just talk about this, okay?
• 3:35
  And I want to talk about what is actually happening with this and how you,
• 3:42
  if this is how you feel, like some things to look at so that, gosh,
• 3:47
  maybe you won't book that month-long Biggest Loser wellness retreat, right?
• 3:51
  Or gosh, maybe you won't have to order that crazy peptide with who knows what
• 3:55
  kind of filler in it from China.
• 3:57
  You know, like, like, like, we want to keep you safe. And we want to keep you
• 4:02
  like, you know, healthy, obviously.
• 4:04
  But more than anything, I want to make sure that you understand that if this
• 4:11
  is truly the case, that you've tried everything, and you're being inconsistent
• 4:16
  and you're not seeing results, there is a root issue.
• 4:20
  And so we need to get to the root
• 4:21
  issue. We don't need to keep putting the band-aids on top of the issue.
• 4:26
  We need to figure out the root, right?
• 4:29
  So today I'm going to talk through some things just that might be the root issue for you, okay?
• 4:36
  And so I want you to be open-minded to each of them.
• 4:39
  Maybe consider, you know, how they could apply to you in your specific circumstance.
• 4:45
  All right. So the first one that I want to talk about is weight loss in general.
• 4:50
  And so I want to gently remind you.
• 4:54
  That thinking about weight loss,
• 4:58
  hoping for weight loss, wanting to lose weight, feeling desperate to lose weight,
• 5:05
  obsessing over losing weight, constantly thinking about it, constantly talking
• 5:10
  about it, constantly researching it, your timeline being full of influencers
• 5:14
  talking about it, like all of these things are not the same as attempting to lose weight.
• 5:20
  Okay, this is something that I'm seeing more and more.
• 5:24
  And it just has to be said that like, just because you say you need to lose
• 5:30
  weight and you think you need to lose weight does not mean you are actively
• 5:33
  taking the steps to lose weight, okay?
• 5:36
  Weight loss requires consistency and discipline, okay?
• 5:41
  So Googling for the 50th time in a row, best ways to lose weight,
• 5:47
  best workouts to burn calories, Okay,
• 5:50
  searching on Instagram, your 50 favorite influencers that are putting out skinny
• 5:55
  recipes and saving them with no intention of cooking them.
• 5:59
  Like these are not efforts towards weight loss. Now, it may feel like they are
• 6:04
  like our brain is so tricky.
• 6:06
  And so it may feel like my God, all I've thought about for the past six months
• 6:10
  is losing weight, right?
• 6:11
  And so your brain is telling you, you're trying, you're trying to lose weight
• 6:15
  because you're looking up these recipes and you're Googling all this information
• 6:18
  and you're talking to your friends about what they've been doing, right?
• 6:21
  But the truth of the matter is.
• 6:25
  Trying everything to lose must include actually showing up for yourself day in and day out.
• 6:33
  And like this one is said with some tough love, y'all, because a lot of you need to hear it.
• 6:38
  You want to talk about it. You want to think about it.
• 6:41
  But when it comes to not grabbing the fourth Snickers out of,
• 6:47
  even if it's fun size, right, out of the office wide candy jar,
• 6:51
  you're not thinking about it then, right?
• 6:53
  You look in the other way or you're thinking, oh, I'll start tomorrow.
• 6:57
  Knowing good and well, you said that yesterday too, right? And so obsessing
• 7:02
  over the fact that you need to lose weight is not the same thing as trying to
• 7:06
  lose weight, okay? And so just asking yourself, like, have you been disciplined?
• 7:12
  Have you been consistent at doing what you know to do, right?
• 7:17
  Okay, and so then moving forward, my next point here is trying everything to lose.
• 7:26
  You may think, well, I'm making healthy choices. So this is part of me trying everything, right?
• 7:33
  And so you for two weeks decide you're going to order a salad out instead of,
• 7:39
  you know, hibachi or a hamburger or sushi or whatever it is.
• 7:44
  And because you ordered that salad consistently for
• 7:47
  two weeks in a row and didn't see any weight loss you think well I tried and
• 7:52
  and I didn't lose right and a lot of people do this they'll say like I'm gonna
• 7:56
  you know this week I'm gonna get back to it and I'm gonna you know get some
• 8:01
  fruit from the grocery store and heck yeah you get the fruit and maybe you even eat the fruit right.
• 8:07
  But have you thought about how the healthy choices are adding up all together,
• 8:12
  even if you're having all healthy choices, right?
• 8:14
  Like, are you thinking about, okay, I had, you know, eggs with toast for breakfast,
• 8:19
  and then I had, you know, cottage cheese for a snack, and then I had a salad for lunch.
• 8:25
  And then for my afternoon snack, I had popcorn and a beef stick.
• 8:28
  And then for dinner, I made, you know, meat with two veggies.
• 8:31
  I was like, whatever it is, like, all that sounds great, right?
• 8:37
  But have you looked at it to see how it adds up are you still in the in a calorie
• 8:43
  deficit even though you're making the healthy food choices like till the day
• 8:48
  I die I will be screaming that calorie deficit if you're not in a calorie deficit
• 8:53
  you're not gonna lose you know what I mean and so,
• 8:57
  a lot of people will make the mistake of like you know
• 9:00
  thinking okay they'll google like what are healthy foods and it'll be
• 9:03
  things like quinoa or avocado or
• 9:06
  nuts or beans or seeds or
• 9:09
  you know certain high protein foods and all this is true
• 9:12
  like true and they serve a purpose right and the purpose can be for a variety
• 9:17
  of health reasons but nobody promised you if you ate three cups of quinoa a
• 9:24
  day that you were going to lose weight because baby quinoa still got lots of
• 9:27
  calories You know what I mean?
• 9:29
  And so you have to, even though you are choosing the healthy foods,
• 9:33
  you have to still understand that those have calories too.
• 9:37
  And they add up. And if at the end of the day, if you are not in that calorie
• 9:43
  deficit, you're not going to lose. Okay?
• 9:47
  And so just kind of keeping that thought process in mind as you sit here and
• 9:53
  say you've tried everything.
• 9:54
  So were you really just trying to choose healthier foods and not really thinking
• 9:57
  about the other piece to it, which is how does it all add up?
• 10:01
  Okay, and then my next step or my next thing to think about is.
• 10:06
  Say you are, you're eating the healthy foods and you're trying to stay in that calorie deficit.
• 10:11
  You're tracking your foods pretty regularly and you know, you know,
• 10:14
  you know your numbers and you're in that calorie deficit, still not losing. Okay.
• 10:20
  Are you tracking consistently and are you tracking correctly?
• 10:25
  Okay. We see this so incredibly often. It is absolutely wild.
• 10:32
  Like people will track their food and they'll even track their food and send it over to us, right?
• 10:37
  And we'll be like, hey, are you sure you only ate a tablespoon of syrup with three pancakes?
• 10:46
  You know, are you sure you only ate a teaspoon of dressing on that entire salad
• 10:52
  that you got when you went out to eat?
• 10:55
  You know, are you sure about these things? And so it's just,
• 11:00
  and again, it's not like being sneaky or manipulative or whatever.
• 11:04
  Like we're, it's not, we don't look at it from a, you're purposefully doing it kind of perspective.
• 11:10
  But we also know that like you are distracted. A lot of times when we're eating
• 11:14
  out or when we have children or family, like you're not thinking about exactly
• 11:19
  how much, is this exactly a teaspoon, a tablespoon or a fourth a cup?
• 11:23
  You know, like nobody's really thinking about that in the moment.
• 11:26
  And then when they go to track it after the fact
• 11:29
  you know it's so easy to under report especially
• 11:34
  when we see how many calories might be in it you know you're like oh
• 11:37
  surely I didn't need a fourth a cup of ranch dressing from nukes you know and
• 11:42
  we don't realize how fast it can add up right and so are we tracking correctly
• 11:49
  and same for like eating out you know like people will go out to eat and we'll
• 11:53
  tell them, you know, just guesstimate, do the best you can.
• 11:56
  But y'all, the hamburger that's a hundred calories, you know,
• 12:01
  in, in the tracking app is like.
• 12:05
  Very small, like the size of, I'm trying to think of what it would be the size
• 12:09
  of, not the size of an Oreo, right?
• 12:12
  Like it would be a mini slider, a very mini, mini, mini, mini slider, right?
• 12:16
  And so if you ate something that's like a double Whopper size,
• 12:20
  right? Like that's not going to be the same, right?
• 12:22
  And two, even thinking about the condiments on it.
• 12:26
  Like if you just put in a hamburger, that means the meat and the buns.
• 12:31
  It does not, and sometimes it don't even mean the buns. You got to be careful, right?
• 12:35
  It does not mean the cheese and the bacon and the special comeback sauce and,
• 12:40
  you know, whatever else that came on there. And so you just have to be aware.
• 12:45
  And first of all, you have to know to be aware, right? And when you're new to
• 12:48
  tracking, that can be overwhelming.
• 12:50
  But then you have to, you know, be aware when you are tracking it to remember to add those things.
• 12:57
  And then to the consistently part, this is another one that we see oh my gosh,
• 13:04
  so much where people will track so rigidly Monday,
• 13:11
  Tuesday, Wednesday, sometimes Thursday, right?
• 13:14
  But then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they get loosey-goosey or they don't track at all.
• 13:20
  And so while obviously in our program, we want our ladies to learn how to make
• 13:24
  choices without having to track every day of their lives for the rest of their lives,
• 13:27
  but sometimes we can, And especially early on in our weight loss journey,
• 13:33
  we can kind of assume that maybe what we're eating on the weekends isn't that bad.
• 13:39
  No need to track it. You know, I feel like I did decent. You know, we hear that a lot. Um.
• 13:45
  Or they're just kind of like, well, I did good. You've got this mindset of like,
• 13:49
  well, I did good all week.
• 13:50
  I deserve a break this weekend, you know. And then that even allows you to go
• 13:55
  down this mindset of like, oh, well, I can have, you know, a couple cookies
• 13:59
  here, a couple beers there, you know, whatever.
• 14:02
  And so very quickly, without tracking Monday through Sunday for several weeks
• 14:11
  and actually seeing how those things add up in real life,
• 14:16
  you can very quickly overeat on your weekends and totally defeat the purpose
• 14:23
  from Monday through Thursday, if that makes sense.
• 14:26
  So like, if you stay in a calorie deficit on Monday through Thursday, you're.
• 14:32
  It is so much easier than you think to eat in excess on Friday,
• 14:39
  Saturday, Sunday and offset your deficit from Monday through Thursday.
• 14:44
  We see it happen all the time and people just don't realize it because a lot
• 14:49
  of the times, again, on the weekend, they just don't track.
• 14:52
  They're just not thinking about that or they're just assuming that it wasn't
• 14:55
  as bad, you know, as maybe it was when you enter it all in.
• 15:00
  And again, right, like no shame to anybody because like we're busy and we're
• 15:04
  having a good time with our family and, you know, there's different types of
• 15:07
  foods available to us usually than there are during the weekday.
• 15:10
  And it's all irrelevant, right?
• 15:13
  But what the topic of this podcast episode is, is that you say you tried everything.
• 15:20
  And that is not true if you are eating your calorie deficit Monday through Thursday,
• 15:26
  but then overeating Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to offset the calorie deficit, right?
• 15:31
  Like there is a root problem there.
• 15:33
  And the root problem is called Friday, Saturday, Sunday, baby.
• 15:37
  Okay. And so you need to look at those days and really zone in on those days consistently,
• 15:47
  before we sit there and act like something, you know, you need some kind of crazy intervention.
• 15:52
  No, you just need to be more aware on the weekends.
• 15:56
  Right? If your ultimate goal is to lose weight. Okay, another one I want to
• 16:00
  touch on is under eating.
• 16:02
  So a lot of people get into this mindset of like, okay, I'm getting it together.
• 16:06
  I'm getting my life together. I'm about to lose some weight.
• 16:08
  And then they like literally go into starving themselves for weeks on end.
• 16:13
  And then all of a sudden, they stop seeing progress, right?
• 16:17
  At first, they probably see really great results on the scale.
• 16:20
  But then eventually, they're eating eight, nine.
• 16:23
  A thousand calories a day and still not seeing the scale move at the end of the week.
• 16:30
  Okay. And so this is your body's way of fighting back against starvation mode.
• 16:35
  I've talked about it multiple times here, but our body's ultimate goal is survival.
• 16:40
  It's not, the ultimate goal is not weight loss or fat loss, right?
• 16:44
  Our body's ultimate goal is survival.
• 16:47
  And so if we are giving it a reason, and we're going to talk about this a little
• 16:50
  bit more here in a minute, if we are giving it a reason to feel like,
• 16:54
  oh my gosh, I got to fight for my survival, then it is going to do everything
• 16:58
  in its power to do that, okay?
• 17:01
  Which means it's going to store that fat. It's going to hold on to it.
• 17:04
  It's not going to burn it as efficiently if you were under eating because by
• 17:09
  under eating consistently and especially with a calorie number that was not
• 17:13
  given to you by a professional or you just aren't even aware of how much you're
• 17:17
  truly under eating, right?
• 17:18
  If you were under eating consistently, then you're gonna,
• 17:22
  your body is gonna hold on to that fat out of fear that you're not going to
• 17:30
  continue to feed it the way it needs to be fed for it to survive the way it
• 17:34
  wants to survive, right?
• 17:36
  And so there's your reason for why you are not losing weight anymore,
• 17:42
  because your body's fighting back against you, okay?
• 17:45
  So another thing that I want to talk about though, is exercise,
• 17:48
  okay, because people are like, oh, I've been eating right, and I've been exercising,
• 17:53
  okay, and so this is something we really talk about in our program with our ladies,
• 17:59
  and that is, you know, exercise is so good for you, right, like, no one can argue that.
• 18:04
  It's good for your mental state. It's good for your muscle,
• 18:07
  growth. It's good for your bone health. It's obviously good for fat burning, right?
• 18:13
  But depending on the type of exercise, which is a lot of different types can
• 18:18
  contribute to this, right?
• 18:20
  If you decide, okay, I'm about to get on this weight loss journey and I'm about to start exercising.
• 18:27
  I'm going to go to a boot camp, you know, where we lift weights and we do burpees
• 18:31
  and we do squats and whatever, the odds of you losing a lot on the scale is kind of low, right?
• 18:41
  Because, and so it is nothing to be like upset about, but it is something to be educated about.
• 18:47
  When you are exercising, especially in a way that like is designed to boost muscle.
• 18:54
  You are building muscle. And what have we heard since we were,
• 18:57
  you know, children, muscle weighs more than fat. Okay.
• 19:00
  And so you are actively building muscle.
• 19:04
  And the good news is, is that muscle eventually burns fat faster.
• 19:09
  So like the more muscle you have, the more efficient your body is at burning
• 19:13
  off fat, which is wonderful.
• 19:15
  But if you've just started at that gym, you're in that in-between space where
• 19:21
  you're still trying to burn to build up the muscle, right?
• 19:24
  So that it, so that then it burns the fat better.
• 19:27
  And so a lot of times we like start a bootcamp and we go hard at it for a month
• 19:31
  and then we don't see any weight loss on the scale and we get so discouraged.
• 19:36
  But the honest to God truth is it's really, really hard for the body to build
• 19:41
  muscle and burn fat at the exact same time, okay?
• 19:45
  And so you've got to get your body adjusted to that exercise routine before
• 19:51
  you can expect a whole bunch of fat loss, right?
• 19:54
  Again, it goes back to that consistency and that discipline.
• 19:58
  You have to show up for more than a couple weeks, you know, to really start
• 20:03
  to see the transformation that your body will take.
• 20:06
  And I will say, if this sounds like you,
• 20:08
  my biggest tip and this is what
• 20:11
  we tell our ladies like first we tell our ladies you've got
• 20:14
  to focus like on what is your number one focus
• 20:17
  is it clean eating and tracking your calories and staying in a calorie deficit
• 20:22
  or is it exercise or is it you know multiple other things but if exercise is
• 20:26
  it for you because not only you know does it make you feel physically better
• 20:30
  but it also you know helps you mentally and makes you feel stronger and all the things, right?
• 20:36
  If exercise is your number one focus for right now for your health,
• 20:41
  okay, we're not going to then go to the scale as the number one.
• 20:47
  Representation of how well we are doing at that thing, right?
• 20:52
  Because for exercise, that does not make sense.
• 20:55
  We cannot say, I'm going to focus in on exercise and then let the scale tell
• 20:59
  me if I'm doing it good enough, because it's not going to tell you what you want it to do.
• 21:04
  It's going to make you cry, you know what I mean?
• 21:08
  And so if you're one of these that is focusing on exercise,
• 21:12
  then your outcome measurement needs
• 21:16
  to be things like body fat percentage can
• 21:19
  you go get your body comp you know taken or inches
• 21:24
  okay this is the biggest one like oh my gosh people will not not lose a single
• 21:29
  pound but other people will start to notice oh my gosh you look like you lost
• 21:33
  weight you look like you're smaller and that's because that muscle is starting
• 21:37
  to burn that fat while while it is, you know.
• 21:41
  Still looking the same on the scale, you may weigh the same,
• 21:45
  but you may have a whole lot more poundage in muscle than you previously did.
• 21:50
  And that changes the way your body looks. Okay.
• 21:54
  So inches and the way your clothes fit and before and after pictures are so
• 21:59
  important here, especially for my exercise and girls.
• 22:02
  And that is the true outcome predictor.
• 22:06
  That is the true, like, okay, we've moved the needle, is by looking at those
• 22:10
  things, not the scale, right, when it comes to exercise.
• 22:16
  Okay, and then a few others that I do really want to dive into here, because,
• 22:20
  in my age group, which is, you know, late 30s, early 40s, and then,
• 22:25
  of course, on into 50s and 60s.
• 22:27
  Y'all, if you feel like you've tried everything to lose weight,
• 22:32
  but you have not zoned in on these things, then you have not tried everything to lose weight, okay?
• 22:40
  And so, things like your hormones, are your hormones out of whack,
• 22:45
  okay? Because we all up in that time somewhere it's possible.
• 22:49
  Okay. All of us really, not just that age group I mentioned all the,
• 22:52
  you know, this applies to a lot, everyone.
• 22:56
  So are your hormones out of whack?
• 22:58
  Or are you living in a state of fight or flight? Like, are you constantly stressed out?
• 23:06
  Okay, because stress is going to increase your cortisol. And if you have constantly
• 23:11
  increased cortisol, again, your body is trying to survive. It is not trying
• 23:16
  to shed fat as its number one goal.
• 23:18
  So if your body is constantly trying to get you out of fight or flight mode,
• 23:22
  constantly trying to get you to chill,
• 23:24
  constantly trying to get you to come down from that caffeine high because you've
• 23:27
  been drinking way too much caffeine today and you're buzzing,
• 23:30
  you know, like if your body is constantly trying to settle the things that you
• 23:36
  have done to work against it and stress is one, right?
• 23:41
  Then it is not going to be trying to shed fat. Like it's just not.
• 23:45
  And then another big one, especially for moms is sleep, right?
• 23:50
  Like, are you getting enough sleep?
• 23:52
  I saw this study that showed that insufficient sleep,
• 23:58
  which means less than seven to nine hours per night reduces fat loss by over
• 24:05
  50% compared to well-rested people,
• 24:09
  even if your calories are restricted.
• 24:13
  Okay? There is so much going on inside of our body with different hormones and
• 24:19
  different things, you know, that are affecting our metabolism.
• 24:22
  And so if we are
• 24:25
  not giving our body the basic things that
• 24:28
  it needs every day like decent
• 24:32
  food choices like working to lower our stress not over consuming caffeine you
• 24:40
  know not staying up staring at your phone 24 7 you know constantly looking at
• 24:45
  a screen going to bed at 1 a.m waking up at six,
• 24:49
  like if we're not giving our body its basic needs, like fresh air,
• 24:53
  y'all, putting your feet in the
• 24:54
  grass, like reminding yourself that we are not just here to grind 24-7.
• 25:02
  Then your body is going to start telling you, it's going to start giving you these signals.
• 25:09
  And one of the signals may be, I'm not going to, I'm not, even though you've
• 25:13
  been eating healthy and even though you've been exercising, I'm not about to
• 25:16
  let you lose a pound this week.
• 25:17
  Cause like we got other crap to do up in here. We got other stuff to fix.
• 25:22
  You know, we ain't got, we can't afford to let you lose a pound of fat this
• 25:27
  week because I may need it to help balance these dang hormones or this cortisol
• 25:31
  that you've got out of whack.
• 25:33
  You know what I mean? And that, and so that is separate from even like,
• 25:37
  you know, stress does tend to make us eat more and, you know,
• 25:41
  choose the unhealthy option over the healthy option.
• 25:45
  You know, that kind of like, that's a whole other beast in itself is when we have,
• 25:49
  when we're stressed or when we haven't gotten enough sleep, like our body immediately
• 25:53
  demands more food and usually more like junk food and that kind of thing,
• 25:56
  which obviously doesn't serve our calorie deficit very well.
• 26:01
  Especially if we're one of the ones that aren't really tracking our calorie deficit
• 26:04
  right so like it is a whole nasty beast
• 26:07
  and so the point
• 26:11
  of all of this is that there and again I haven't even like there's so many other
• 26:16
  things you know like some of my ladies will have to get a steroid after being
• 26:20
  sick and they won't lose for several weeks you know or antibiotics or so I mean
• 26:24
  there's just so many other things that could come into play but just for the
• 26:27
  sake of time these are my main points today.
• 26:30
  You have got to address the root because if you don't, it doesn't matter like
• 26:36
  how much money you spend or what kind of miracle drug you think you found.
• 26:41
  Like unless you plan to do that forever and also,
• 26:46
  I mean, gosh, I just don't, I personally, this is just a personal preference,
• 26:50
  like I don't want to like knowingly have like a root problem and instead of
• 26:57
  getting to the root and solving it,
• 26:59
  just continue to like do some other intervention that just masks it.
• 27:04
  You know, like that tells me like that's not great for my body.
• 27:08
  My body, if one of these is the problem, my body needs me to like stop the freaking
• 27:13
  problem, not just like layer something else on top that makes it go away for
• 27:20
  now. You know what I mean?
• 27:22
  And so if this is you and you feel like, okay, I've got like a root issue that
• 27:26
  needs to be solved, and you really want to solve it, right?
• 27:30
  Because you really want to see the results, then you need to find somebody who
• 27:34
  can help you with that full picture, right?
• 27:37
  Whether that be a doctor, like start with your doctor, right?
• 27:41
  OB, somebody like that, that somebody that's not going to give you another Band-Aid,
• 27:45
  because some of that, some of them out here just want to give you another Band-Aid,
• 27:49
  right? And we don't want that.
• 27:50
  Functional medicine may be a place just make sure they are you know really you know trustworthy.
• 27:57
  Right? But also, if you feel like some of the things that I talked about today
• 28:01
  are what you resonate with, especially when it comes to the eating healthy,
• 28:07
  the calorie deficit, tracking,
• 28:09
  consistently and correctly, under eating,
• 28:13
  even like navigating through exercise, or healthy habits to help you get your
• 28:19
  stress and your sleep back on track, then I would love to invite you into our
• 28:24
  one-on-one coaching program called PFM Plus.
• 28:27
  I just think that is, it's such a perfect place for somebody who really needs
• 28:31
  that help in figuring out, okay, this is what's going on and then what do we
• 28:36
  tackle first to help us reach our goal?
• 28:39
  We get to know each individual client like, you know, personally and then we
• 28:44
  walk right alongside them in their food, fitness, and mindset struggles.
• 28:49
  And so by walking with them daily, y'all, we're able to use our expertise to
• 28:53
  pinpoint where they are disconnected.
• 28:56
  And then we're able to give them the step-by-step strategies for how to fix it.
• 29:00
  Okay. So like we are able to walk with them and give them what needs to be done
• 29:04
  to remove the Band-Aid, right, and get to the root. Okay.
