How Reducing Inflammation will help you Hit your Weight & Health Loss Goals for Good with Dr. Andrea Robertson

How Reducing Inflammation will help you Hit your Weight & Health Loss Goals for Good with Dr. Andrea Robertson #010

September 03, 20243 min read

About My Guest

Dr. Andrea Robertson is an Osteopath, Naturopath, Nutritionist, Business Coach, Pilates, Barre & Yoga Instructor (yes, she is wildly talented in many areas!)

Andrea is based in Melbourne, Australia. She helps women over 35 end the cycle of dieting, using a simple science-backed approach to losing weight and keeping it off, so they can fit back into their clothes, feel great and thrive with energy and body confidence.

Her focus is on helping women reduce inflammation by finding which foods they love that also love them back. Once inflammation is under control, all other elements of health and weight loss fall into place.

In the past Andrea owned a large allied health clinic, Southside Clinic in Adelaide, as well as two barre fitness studios. Andrea sold these and now works from home with clients all over the world.

Summary

Dr. Andrea Robertson discusses the importance of reducing inflammation for women over 40. She explains that there are two types of inflammation: acute and chronic. Chronic inflammation, which is a long-term low activation of the immune system, is linked to most chronic diseases. Dr. Andrea emphasizes the need to focus on reducing inflammation rather than dieting to lose weight, as diets can be restrictive and mess up the metabolism. She recommends finding the foods that you love that also love you back, and eliminating common pro-inflammatory foods for a short period of time to reduce inflammation. Dr. Andrea also highlights the importance of reducing exposure to chemicals and preservatives in our environment and food.

What it's like to work with Leah

Kim Morrow

I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.

Marisa Lonic

With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now just part of my new normal.

Jonelle Fernandes

My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!

Meet Kathy

She conquered 20+ years of debilitating joint pain after completing the 4-Week Total Body Reset Challenge!
