Hormones. The Hidden Cause of Cravings
Cravings are caused by a number of factors including hormones, yeast overgrowths, allergies or deficiencies. For many women, cravings for carbohydrates or sugars are the number one cause of excessive weight gain.
Mandy's Story
Cravings for carbohydrates kept me on a 20 year diet roller coaster. I would gain weight, lose weight then gain weight again. Weight loss ruled my life and I was frustrated because nothing that I did to lose weight worked.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about weight loss and diets because I'd done every diet imaginable. But no matter how much I exercised or cut calories, I still needed to lose weight.
I felt tired, grumpy and my sleeping patterns were terrible. The worse symptom was the unstoppable cravings. If I knew there was a packet of sweets in the house I would have to have one, then two, then after that before I knew it, the bag was gone.
I had tried taking natural supplements to improve my mood and chromium for my cravings, but nothing seemed to work.
Narelle's Comments
Motherhood and a busy lifestyle had left Mandy toxic and congested.
The first step towards Mandy losing weight and getting better again was an integrated detoxification program. In addition we improved acid alkaline balance principles to improve excess estrogen clearance and other hormones that were causing her cravings.
When working towards improving cravings, it is important to remember that to restore balance, you need to identify the initial cause and this takes time and expertise. Investing time into getting to the 'root' cause of Mandy's health challenges is what made the difference.
After chatting to Mandy, and assessing her results, I established her metabolic map and hormonal profile that was not only going to improve her cravings and energy, but also restore overall health, hormonal balance and improve her moods.
This is what Mandy's 'metabolic' map looked like:
Mandy's treatment strategy included a personalized tonic to support nourishment and repair. This included traditional medicinal herbs such as St Mary's Thistle and Thyme to restore digestive health and aid detoxification. Other herbs such as Passiflora and Withania were included to calm Mandy's adrenal response an provide central nervous system support. Other herbs were utilized throughout her treatment to restore hormonal balance.
Targeted dietary changes to improve acid/alkaline balance and support cravings were provided in an easy to understand format, that fitted well with Mandy's busy life.
Personalized orthomolecular therapy and nutritional therapy, formed part of Mandy's long term plan. These changes, combined with gentle detoxification techniques; gently guided her health to new levels. Her new wellness plan was a must for overcoming her symptoms of fatigue, cravings and weight gain.

Outcome
With fresh new energy to keep up with the kids and improved sleeping patterns, Mandy was able to lose weight in places that she had never been able to budge.
I love the fact that MassAttack is a natural weight loss program and it was easy to see why my previous dieting and exercise regimes did not work. It's just not as simple as eating less and exercising more. It's critical to address the source of your weight and health concerns.
