Bria Gadd is an integrative nutritionist, holistic health coach, and personal trainer, who specializes in female hormones, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos.
After helping thousands of women lose weight in their 20's and 30's, Bria recognized a difficult shift in women's ability to get results in their body during their perimenopause years. With more than 12 years of experience in the fitness and nutrition industry, Bria created a proven strategy to dramatically improve the challenges women are experiencing in weight release and energy.
Her podcast The Period Whisperer is a top 2.5% wellness podcast in the world with an instagram following of over 17,000.
Gadd claims that taking four-to-five slow, deep breaths before you eat can have a significant impact on our bodies' ability to burn calories versus storing them.
"Conscious breathing will help to settle our central nervous system, keeping our body out of fight or flight mode where it focuses on storing calories for the response to the current stressful situation," she said.
Bria Gadd, a Toronto-based integrative nutritionist, holistic health coach, and personal trainer, and nutrition coach who hosts "The Period Whisperer Podcast" echoed this sentiment. "Ten minutes of movement post meal can significantly reduce glucose spikes in the body, reducing the workload on the body and allowing the body to respond more efficiently in digestion and shift into fat burning mode," Gadd told Fox News Digital.
