I got belly fat for the first time in my life due to a toxic relationship. I was in constant flight/fight/freeze mode for 5 years. I gained 25 kgs. I am starting to feel better now that this relationship is over and hope to start losing this awful weight soon…unfortunately I deal with chronic illnesses and tKe medications, but even with medications I never ballooned this much. 😢 I need to be hopeful.
When I gain weight I know it is an indicator for me to leave the place, people, I am in the wrong thing. Bossy people are the ones behind gaining weight for me. I am yin girl. All my life I have been in toxic relationship friends, parents. My last bf was soooooooooooooo bossy. I gained 35 kg because of him. I left him forever.
I lost 45 pounds and my belly is the same size . Never experienced this before. I took measurements to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, made me even more stressed
Hi I’ve got consistent insomnia. I’ve got belly fat. I’ve been really struggling with this. - practice deep breathing. Practice every morning - add herbs. Ginseng. Holy basil. Medicinal mushrooms. Ashwandganda. - avoid caffeine. Alcohol. - add fibre to diet. - avoid toxic relationships - walk instead of eating 😅
Thank you so much. Every time I try to learn how to lose belly fat everyone just says you can’t spot reduce belly fat. But you CAN spot GAIN belly fat. So thank you for these tips. 😊
@@christyswann3772please tell me which autoimmune disorders and why we cannot take them? I have several autoimmune disorders and very high cortisol . This is not an issue doctors in my country is interested in at all. They will not even do a spit test. I have gained a lot of weight on my stomach and my face and I rarely sleep more than 2 hours in a 24 hour period. I eat less than 1200 calories per day and mostly eat fish and vegetables . No white flour, no potatoes, no pasta and no candy or chips or salted nuts. I had just lost half my body weight and was happy and heart for the first time. The I got I’ll with several autoimmune diseases and have to take strong pain killers every day. My partner left me. That was got in the long run as the relationship was toxic. But I’m very depressed since I lost most of my family and all my friends. Lost as in they passed away. I’m not able to expertise because of my chronic illness. So I’m mostly alone now laying 😅n my sofa , staring in the air.. in pain physically and emotionally .. not even a life anymore . Just found out one of my autoimmune conditions have turnen in to cancer last week. I start treatment in 11 days…
Very well coach Brian you hit the problem!: the toxic relationships... I try to get rid of negative situations and relationships every day when it is not possible here that easily falls back into nervous hunger. Thank you very much for this very useful video !!!
Great video. I chuckled at toxic relationships but it's true. I can relate to the stress eating,I either eat crap or don't eat at all. Thanks Brian,I'm working on ME!
It's like this video was made for me! Every single thing you mentioned is relevant. Thank you so much, you have a very reassuring and down-to-earth way of teaching ☺
Hey Brian. Great video. Glad you mentioned Ashwagandra. It is so powerful. You can take it in tablet form and they do it in tea bag form usually mixed with something else like tumeric for example.
So like. How can I lose weight if I can’t eliminate my stressor? It’s going to take me years to reverse the trauma and tics and constant fear and no sleep and bad habits my mom has caused me, and I’m still stuck in this house for a year. Is there a way I can work it off without lowering my stress bc it ain’t going anywhere.
Profound discovery! Can you please tell us how much of the holy basil, medicinal mushrooms…we are to take ? how often? maybe provide us with links where to get them from? I lost 25 pounds all over and still have a lot of belly fat to get rid of. I hope you respond to this message 😊
There's only so much deep breathing and meditation you can do, I'm so tired of it. I'd do anything to get rid of cortisol. I take supplements, vitamins to nothing works unless you rest or overeat and that's like so boring and overeating feels disgusting.
Hello ... When I have a problem, my body trembles, my heart beats faster, and I feel difficult to speak. I also sweat a lot, and I suffer from high levels of cortisol.. I tried Ashwgandha for 6 months, and my condition did not improve. Is there an alternative to Ashuganda?
Glad to stumble on your video! I love your advice and the fact that you mention herbs. Many western coaches don’t take into consideration that many viewers are not from the western world and understand herbs as supplements more than anything else. One more like from me. 😀
Brian please answer, If my cortisol suddenly increases and i get belly fat, and then if it decreases, will it cause Cushing syndrome? I (M) used to be skinny 55kgs at 5'10 and then during lockdown i gained around 30 kgs, no muscle, just fat I'm building muscle now and currently at 73s,i look lean except my belly and chest, is it Cushing or hormone imbalance? Edit: i do not drink nor consume any drugs etc, vegetarian but i eat 2eggs and milk everyday
@@naturelovers6987 yes, I lost weight fairly easy, I play table tennis and badminton and walked a lot I lost without much effort like following any diet, I couldn't continue weight lifting cause time constraints and I'm in 64s now. The weight loss was also rapid, lost like 10kgs in 50 days and i didn't feel weak at any point It might be hormone imbalance at some point cause I got gyno and now I think it's almost gone or not noticeable anymore, I'm in early 20s so I might have had it easy
It’s probably because you’re not used to it. We typically only shallow breathe. Working out is uncomfortable in the beginning also. You will get used to it and reap the benefits if you continue. It’s worth it🫶🏾
@@happycamper3561 I wasn't supposed to live past 2015 and I searched my heart out for videos that would teach me how to stay alive and I didn't have time to wait.
I wish i can avoid toxic workplaces too,, those really puts alot of stress in my life.
Keep going 💪🏽
Only coach on the internet who tells us avoiding toxic relationships is a weight loss pro tip hahaha

I agree with the avoiding of toxic relationship 💯 Anytime I was in a stressful relationship I gained weight.

Ever since I got this channel yesterday I have been educated a lot
Losing belly fat can be tough battle unless you are willing to cut down unhealthy food and do simple excercises
One point he addressed was if you are exercising consistently and eating healthy meals, but still gaining weight.
I can never eat when stressed. Thank you Brian, useful tips.
Memo: high cortisol=insomnia=belly fat
It's like this video was made for me! Every single thing you mentioned is relevant. Thank you so much, you have a very reassuring and down-to-earth way of teaching ☺
Glad it was helpful. All the best!
Hey Brian. Great video. Glad you mentioned Ashwagandra. It is so powerful. You can take it in tablet form and they do it in tea bag form usually mixed with something else like tumeric for example.
I make acne from Ashwagandra. But it does help with all the rest.
On point!! Thank you so much! I hope it will work for someone like me, who has been given corticosteroids (as a medication) for the last 3 years
Yes walking or yoga.
So true. I got shingles n i have a cortisol body type n gets very stressed.
Happy to help
Asante sana! Nilihitaji kuona hili. Sinywi pombe, lakini nitajaribu iliyobaki!
Safi kabisa
The belly fat isn’t the issue but definitely the cortisol levels are off the charts and cannot relax/sleep 😭
Use the tips and let us know if you see a difference
Did it help
Avoid toxic relationships amazing!
Absolutely
Memo: deep breathing
Dropping weight may be a tough battle unless you are inclined to cut down dangerous meals and get together with simple exercising.
One point he addressed was if you are exercising consistently and eating healthy meals, but still gaining weight.

You can choose a different way of responding. Instead of being triggered, use that energy to go for a walk or exercise

Brian hi how can I lose cortisol neck fat
There's only so much deep breathing and meditation you can do, I'm so tired of it. I'd do anything to get rid of cortisol. I take supplements, vitamins to nothing works unless you rest or overeat and that's like so boring and overeating feels disgusting.
Could be hormonal also. :(.

Try magnesium glycinate or LTriptophane

hay..mi na punguka sana kwanzia kwa kiuno hadi miguu is now 2yr naeza tumia dawa gani sababu miguu zina konda sana
Fanya zoezi za mguu. Squats with weights
Is intermittent fasting or eating small meals every 2-3 hrs better for keeping cortisol low?
Intermittent I believe
Very niceee
I can't see what was written on the board.
I looked up the transcript
When your in a toxic relationship you become monsterous no he said more stressed 😂 damn I need better help
Toxic relationship is the main cause of cortisol 😢
Are you kenyan? Just asking, you sound like my watu:)
I feel weird when I practice breathing deeply
It’s probably because you’re not used to it. We typically only shallow breathe. Working out is uncomfortable in the beginning also. You will get used to it and reap the benefits if you continue. It’s worth it🫶🏾
Memo: add fibre to ur diet.
This is great, BUT! get a better marker. This is not legible.
How can I avoid my job 😂?
Lol u so cute , i feel going bk to school .
Having everything written down in advance will greatly shorten the length of the video : )
