When Your Morning Run is Actually Making You GAIN Weight

🏃‍♀️ So let's talk about something that might be blowing your mind right now... that morning run you're KILLING yourself to wake up for? It might actually be working AGAINST your weight loss goals, especially if you have cortisol issues or autoimmunity.

Here's what's actually happening: 🤯

→ When you have autoimmune disease or adrenal issues, intense cardio can spike your cortisol (that pesky stress hormone) even HIGHER than it already is.

→ And what does cortisol loves to do? Store fat, especially around your middle, and mess with your hormone and thyroid function.

→ Then you're exhausted but wired, craving sugar by 3pm, can't sleep even though you're tired, and the scale won't budge despite your perfect diet.

🌤️ What if instead, you could:

• Wake up feeling ACTUALLY rested (not just caffeine-ready)
• Exercise in a way that SUPPORTS your hormones instead of draining them
• Watch inflammation melt away (goodbye puffy face!)
• Feel energized ALL day (not just the first hour after coffee)

I'm not saying throw away your running shoes! I'm saying we need to work WITH your body, not against it (ie, those are your lovely walking shoes now, honey). 👟👟
