Are your clients doing everything “right” yet struggling to lose weight? This session uncovers the hidden factors that may be holding them back. Moving beyond the outdated “calories in, calories out” model, we dive into the complex hormonal imbalances – insulin resistance, elevated cortisol, thyroid dysfunction, and sex hormone disruption – that quietly undermine fat loss despite disciplined diet and exercise.
The session includes an in-depth look at the latest developments in injectable weight loss medications, focusing on GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide. Learn how these treatments work, who may benefit, and the real benefits and limitations behind the headlines. You’ll also explore how chronic stress, poor sleep, systemic inflammation, and gut health affect your clients’ ability to achieve lasting results.
This session bridges medical knowledge with practical tools, featuring case studies and evidence-based strategies to empower you to support clients facing their weight loss challenges.
Learning Outcomes:
– Understand how key hormonal imbalances contribute to weight loss resistance and metabolic dysfunction.
– Identify lifestyle factors—stress, sleep, inflammation, recovery—that impede fat loss despite good habits.
– Explore the science, benefits, and considerations of injectable weight loss medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists.
– Integrate medical insights into coaching practice to enhance client communication and support around weight management.
– Apply practical, evidence-based nutrition, training, and behavioural strategies to help clients overcome hormonal and metabolic barriers.”
