WHO HAS EXTRA KILOS TO LOSE TO FEEL BETTER? 

​

Yes, many people try to shed the kilos they’ve gained for a variety of reasons!  

​

Some people deprive themselves of food to avoid gaining weight, but their condition causes them to put on pounds anyway...

And smokers, when they quit smoking, start gaining weight due to a lack of time and energy, and they return to smoking instead of balancing it out with exercise, for example.

But it’s more complex than it seems because many factors need to be taken into account.

You also have to look into your past because it’s important to identify the triggers that lead us to emotional eating to soothe negative feelings, in order to break the vicious cycle of emotional kilos.

If, every time we were frustrated, our mother comforted us with a cake or a candy, this reflex of eating will tend to persist into adulthood.

​

Yo-yo effect, repetitive diets, intermittent fasting… nothing works, the weight doesn’t stabilize.

It seems, in reality, that losing weight isn’t just a matter of willpower and method, but that our brain plays an essential role that might prevent us from slimming down as we’d like.

Studies have shown that our food intake is guided by our brain, as certain brain areas activated when we eat trigger a sense of well-being.

​

This sensation generated by the brain is actually part of the body’s survival system, as it encourages the vital function of nutrition and prevents the depletion of fat reserves.

It’s therefore the body’s remarkable ability to protect itself from hunger that also keeps us from losing weight.

​

Thus, much like certain drugs, the hypothalamus in our brain, accustomed to a certain level of blood sugar and leptin—a protein secreted by adipose tissue—is programmed to maintain a stable weight. An abnormally sharp drop in leptin during weight loss will trigger a reaction in our system, creating a feeling of hunger to try to maintain the weight “recorded” by the brain.

​

The body is therefore unable to distinguish between a voluntary diet and malnutrition. There are also psychological barriers that prevent weight loss.

The hypothalamus works to prevent overly rapid weight loss or to counteract it.

This stems from its ancestral role, established in times when the risk of food scarcity was greater than the risk of overabundance. All of this is passed down through transgenerational inheritance.

​

This is where frequency-based and informational music therapy comes in, balancing everything, because it’s all a matter of balance (a healthy mind in a healthy body) thanks to carefully chosen frequencies that address both general overweight and that stubborn “spare tire” many struggle to lose, especially in the summer when we’d love to show off our new beachwear.

Losing those few extra kilos to slip into a pretty swimsuit this summer by the calm waters—yes, being able to go to the sea and proudly flaunt a beautiful body…

​

Draining the liver to lose weight

Yet we tend to forget it, but the liver is a key organ in the goal of weight loss since it plays a role in fat digestion. When we have an unbalanced diet and eat more than we should, the liver produces and stores too much fat—and the same happens when we skip meals.

​

Energetic treatments work on all types of profiles at once, no matter which one is yours!

Each profile is determined by a dominant gland in your body, which, if mistreated by a diet that doesn’t suit it, turns what you eat into extra kilos!

​

There are 4 dominant glands: the pituitary, the adrenals, the thyroid, and the gonads.

Before birth and before dietary habits are established, we are all born with a specific body type, height, and weight.

These 4 glands play a role in the metabolism of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.

If your dominant gland is disrupted by your diet (nothing pathological, don’t worry…), it will stop metabolizing properly, and then all 4 glands will be affected, leading to weight gain and fatigue.

For each gland, extra kilos don’t settle in the same places.

Some people carry most of their extra weight around the belly, others in the thighs and buttocks, and others evenly distributed across the body…

​

Informational medicine works on all of this with your help to avoid overloading the “mule,” which, in this case, is you. There’s also willpower brought in by the frequencies.

Iron deficiency is very often the main obstacle to weight loss. It plays an essential role in the production of all our neurotransmitters and thus in overall emotional balance.

​

1 - Zinc: the anti-fat weapon
Involved in the production of leptin, the appetite hormone, it helps regulate it (leptin, or the “satiety hormone,” is an anorexigenic hormone, meaning it reduces appetite, creating a feeling of fullness).

​

2 - And, like iodine, it also supports the thyroid’s work, which, if sluggish, causes fat gain.

​

3 - Vitamin C is one of the most effective slimming aids, as it speeds up metabolism, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and curbs the storage of sugars as fat.

​

4 - Magnesium is involved in energy production, meaning it helps convert sugars and fats into energy. In other words, it ensures calories are used effectively by our cells. A magnesium deficiency can thus hinder weight loss

.

5 - The ultimate slimming trace element is chromium, recommended for overweight, obesity, sugar cravings, and to boost a weight-loss diet. Indeed, chromium improves blood sugar levels, lowers “bad” cholesterol, reduces fat tissue production, and regulates appetite.

​

In the quest for the best vitamin for weight loss, we should surely start with the famous B vitamins. 
For reference, these are thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin  (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12)  

.

Vitamin D acts on fat mass and weight loss through several mechanisms:  

• Direct influence on fat cells: it may stop the formation of new fat cells and reduce fat storage. 

Repeated stress causes numerous metabolic disruptions, such as increased cortisol production, a storage  hormone managed by both the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland, which signals the adrenals to produce it.

​

And while stress doesn’t necessarily make you gain weight, it can certainly prevent weight loss. 

Can’t lose weight anymore despite eating less and exercising more? 

Combined with digestive issues, poor sleep, and slow muscle recovery, this phenomenon is very likely the result  of a blocked metabolism. 

​

Are you no longer able to lose weight even though you’re eating less and exercising more? 

Combined with digestive issues, poor sleep, and slow muscle recovery, this phenomenon is very likely the result  of a blocked metabolism. 

6 effective tips to boost your metabolism and lose weight... 

• Move more. To naturally stimulate your metabolism, nothing beats regularly engaging in high-intensity   Physical activity. 

• Eat protein. 

• Don’t skip meals. 

• Drink enough water. 

• Avoid sugar. 

• Sleep well. 

​

Basal metabolism: what exactly is it? 

Basal metabolism accounts for 60% to 70% of the energy we expend daily. 

What is it exactly? "Basal metabolism refers to the calories burned by the body at rest: it’s an essential energy  expenditure that keeps vital organs (like the heart or brain) functioning, maintains muscle tone (because even  when we sleep, our muscles aren’t completely relaxed), and regulates body temperature (around 37.5°C)." 

​

Additionally, in children and adolescents, basal metabolism also supports growth. 

Good to know: Basal metabolism can also be called "basal metabolic rate" (BMR) or "resting energy expenditure"  (REE). 

Frequent or overly restrictive low-calorie diets are often the cause of a blocked metabolism because they place intense stress on the body. This also affects overweight individuals or those with obesity, as a well-developed  muscle mass helps burn more calories. 

​

Medications that disrupt weight loss 

For example, people with certain conditions (such as hypothyroidism, a disease affecting 1% to 2% of the French population, mostly women over 40) who take specific medications (like mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder) may have a less efficient basal metabolism.

​

Moreover, exposure to endocrine disruptors can also reduce energy metabolism more broadly.  

Mathematically, the greater the muscle mass, the higher the basal metabolism! 

​

It’s also essential to adopt a balanced diet (less sugar, less salt, fewer saturated fats, fewer ultra-processed  industrial products, more fruits, more vegetables, more animal and plant-based proteins, more "good" fats, etc.).
