Weight Loss in Marbella

I get many calls from the Marbella area asking for advice on weight loss. We get them on different levels through the magazine (InsideOut Health Magazine www.iohmagazine.com), either from a weight loss ‘fitness’ angle, or a ‘dieting’ angle (May I just say that I don’t advocate ‘dieting’ in that sense. The more one deprives oneself of food groups, the more damage we do or the more we crave the things we’ve eliminated) we have an incredible and highly qualified network of practitioners and experts to help with almost every health or fitness challenge, so can always help.

I also get many enquiries from Marbella to Sotogrande and even London, asking if Reflexology can help with weight loss as they’ve read about it in some publication or other.

The answer is ‘Yes’ it can. As with everything there are caveats and this issue is no different. It can help in situations where diet, stress or medication have created imbalances to hormonal production, which in turn can interfere with normal metabolism or insulin efficacy, thus leading to distressing weight gain and low energy levels.

I was contacted by a client in Sotogrande with a similar issue and after identifying that her diet and stress levels were a huge contributing factor to her recent weight gain, we prescribed a course of treatments and included some simple changes in her nutritional programme, (you see!...I don’t do diets!) increasing nutrient dense foods and reducing foods high in calories but low in nourishment. The results were amazing.

Once she started to see the weight loss and her energy levels increased, I introduced her to one of our trusted personal trainers in Marbella and we began a manageable activity programme. She loved it and hasn’t stopped since!

Everything done in good time will last a life time!
