The TRUTH About Cortisol and Belly Fat (It’s Not What You Think)

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader👋

​

In this weeks video I'm talking about cortisol...

​

Because there is nothing that frustrates me more than seeing people being sold false promises — especially when it’s at the expense of their health.

​

In fact, thats the core reason I started my YouTube channel in the first place.

​

I truly believe everyone deserves access to reliable, evidence-based nutrition advice—without long waitlists, expensive programs, or confusing misinformation.

​

But the truth is, there will always be people out there trying to take advantage. My best advice? Be skeptical if something sounds too good to be true, and always check a person’s credentials before following their advice. Unfortunately, the term “nutritionist” isn’t regulated, so the quality of information online can range from excellent… to downright dangerous.

​

Dietitians, on the other hand, are regulated by law — so you can trust that the information we share is grounded in science.

​

And if you ever feel confused about something you see online and want a second opinion, please just reach out. I try my best to reply to everyone — and who knows, your question might even inspire a future video that helps hundreds of others too.

​

Anyway, I hope this week’s video helps you feel a bit more confident and clear on what’s fact vs. fiction when it comes to cortisol and your health.

​

Anyways please stay happy and healthy and safe. I'm currently locked in at home as we await two hurricanes that are on route to Bermuda.

​

Wish me luck!

Hi Reader It's starting to get chilly, even here in Bermuda...🌴 And I'll be honest with you... Shorter evenings and the holidays creeping closer make it a tad bit harder to stay on track with your health goals this time of year. And it's not just me. The research shows most people gain 1-3 pounds during the fall and holiday season, and most never lose it. Over five years, that's 15 pounds. But here's the good news... The solution might surprise you: less really is more when it comes to...

What the new Consumer Reports investigation actually means.. Hi Reader👋 I wanted to share something important that came up this week, especially for anyone who uses protein powders regularly. Consumer Reports recently tested 23 popular protein powders and shakes and found that several contained measurable levels of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and arsenic. The issue was most common in plant-based powders, particularly those made with pea protein. The headlines sounded alarming, but after...

Hi Reader👋 If you watch me on YouTube you know by now my goal is always to make health accessible, not expensive. Hence the sheer amount of free education I give away. So before we go any further, I want to be clear: you do not need to throw out everything in your kitchen. You don’t need to replace it all at once, and you definitely don’t need a full kitchen makeover to make a difference. However, with the Amazon Prime Day sale happening, I do think it’s a good time to share some of my...
