- Breaking the Cycle of Weight Gain 1h 00min
Featured Review
Description
In the midst of so many diets, cleanses, and supplements at any given time, with an ongoing demand to lose weight, there can be many controversial statements and programs designed to help people do so, except at some point they find that they wind up re-gaining the weight to varying degrees at some point in their life. Whether they know their diet and lifestyle is not up to par, or consider themselves pretty healthy and just don’t feel themselves, whatever extra weight they are holding onto can indicate there are deeper issues that have escalated over time where now they find themselves frustrated, at a plateau, and feeling like they’ve tried everything – and sometimes as the practitioner, we do too!
In this webinar, we will discuss the many different diets, exercises, measurements of weight, as well as the two main culprits of weight gain, hormone imbalance (namely estrogen dominance) and insulin resistance, and their complex interactions with the fat cell (adipocyte). The fat cell is its own endocrine organ with signals that can also greatly influence hormones, appetite, sleep, stress, cravings, inflammation, and blood pressure, to name a few, so therefore losing weight means shifting someone’s lifestyle in such a way that many different signals are shifting together to create sustainable weight loss.
We will also delve into ways to help motivate patients when ‘life happens’ and signals go awry, and how they can get back on track at any time. Plans will be discussed in how to understand the big picture, and how to maximize support through nutrition, supplements, exercise, lifestyle habits, and mindset so patients understand how their unique physiology and mindset work together so they can lose weight, get off that plateau, and know how they can get back on track at any time.

Course Content
Instructor
Dr. Serena Goldstein is a Naturopathic Doctor in NYC who helps people lose weight and keep it off when diets, cleanses, and supplements don't seem like enough, or take too much mental energy and time. Dr. Serena also has a special focus on hormone health, a main hurdle to weight loss efforts, as she tailors her plans around mindset, nutrition, lifestyle, and appropriate natural therapies in an integrative approach to addressing the mind-body connection.
Dr. Serena has appeared on MindBodyGreen, Shape, Well + Good, Sirius XM Radio, participated in a research poster session at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, spoken at places like the American Cancer Society and National University of Natural Medicine (Endocrinology conference), and is on the Advisory Board of Natural Practitioner Magazine. She is a born and bred New Yorker who had a resume of extra curriculars before attending private high school, yet made it a priority to get 8 hours of sleep a night and cook for herself throughout undergraduate and medical school.
Dr. Serena plans her work around her fun (a philosophy since middle school), where she enjoys regular time at the gym, in search of a new favorite Mexican restaurant, at a sports bar watching football, or on a road trip visiting small towns connecting with nature.
