Address: 623 Stone Cutters Way

With Amy Panetta, MA, NC, Nutrition and Lifestyle Consultant

September can bring a frenzy of activities for so many of us. As we settle into the autumn and a new academic year, we feel the pressures mount to stay afloat with our day-to-day responsibilities. With this new excitement and activities, it often leads to a feeling of overwhelm, where the body’s “fight or flight” stress response is stuck in “on” position.

Did you know that this state of stress can wreak havoc on so many of our body systems, including our ability to manage weight by boosting our cravings for calorie-dense, processed foods? Is there a solution for this cycle? If so, how can we break it? Amy Panetta, MA, NC, Nutrition and Lifestyle Consultant, will guide you through understanding the hormones at play, how you can stop this cycle, find balance, and shed excess weight!
