Join us for an insightful workshop, where we explore the fascinating connection between stress and your body's metabolism. Learn how chronic stress can disrupt hormone balance, slow down metabolism, and even contribute to weight gain.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
•How stress hormones impact your metabolism and trigger weight gain
•The role of cortisol in fat storage and appetite regulation
•Ways stress-induced hormonal imbalances can affect your body composition
•Practical tips to manage stress, support hormonal balance, and maintain a healthy weight
