Better Than Cool Sculpt?

Mark, have you ever clicked on an ad through some social media platform and all of a sudden get multiple messages on your phone, computer, and even Alexa advertising that same product or something similar?

I (Lisa) have been doing some research on Youtube ads recently, clicked on a ridiculous "lose 20 pounds in a week" type thing, and now Cool Sculpt won't leave me alone.

Every time I use Google now, I see Cool Sculpt all over the place. When I open Youtube to play music, every ad is telling me I can freeze my fat forever without invasive liposuction. Cool Sculpt is even following me on social media now. Talk about level 10 stalker status.

Besides being creeped out by A.I., I couldn't help but wonder how this type of messaging impacts people who are truly suffering and just want to feel better in their bodies. I had to find out - what is Cool Sculpt and does it work?

From the basic research I conducted, it sounds like Cool Sculpt can work temporarily like most quick fix approaches.

But just like liposuction and gastric bypass surgery, if you keep practicing the same lifestyle habits and choices that manifested in the body you tried to freeze or cut away, it will come back to impact you in some way down the line.

In fact, we've heard from several of our current and past members that they've tried more drastic measures like Cool Sculpting and lipo but ended up gaining more fat back or noticed new fat appearing in areas that they never had before. Why is this?

Here's what you need to understand about body fat: it's stubborn and persistent for a reason. It's your body's backup food source in case of famine. This is a preferred survival trait during times of food scarcity.

Unfortunately, our DNA has not received the message yet that most of us have plenty of food available. We're still hard-wired to continue creating new fat cells if we're not actively eating and moving in a pro-metabolic state.

And here's the most interesting part: chronic stress, not necessarily excess calories, can be the most problematic in terms of stubborn fat. When we experience elevated stress levels, including stress induced by skipping meals/fasting/dieting, our blood sugar rises regardless of food intake.

You heard that right. Stress spikes your insulin just like a cookie will. If you stay in that stress state long enough, your body will turn on all the red flags and start converting existing carbs into fat, especially the next time you eat.

Why? Your genius body doesn't feel safe. It's sensing a threat and wants to make sure you have ample energy to fight or flee. It's not prioritizing resting and digesting.

That's why quick fixes like Cool Sculpt, crash diets and liposuction rarely work long-term: they never solve for the root problem.

Sometimes that problem is simply not having the foundational knowledge of balanced nutrition for your unique body and metabolism. Oftentimes the root cause also includes unprocessed trauma, unhealthy coping habits, and an addiction to the hustle lifestyle. This is exactly why we integrate so much mindset, emotional, and spiritual support into all of our programs. It's not always just about the food.

We see this all the time when new clients start with us. Some are so used to living in stress, they don't recognize it. Most are under-eating, skipping meals, over-exercising (but under-active the rest of the day), over-working and are beyond frustrated that they still hold onto stubborn body fat.

It's challenging as a coach to build trust at first... imagine trying to convince someone that eating MORE food more frequently will actually help their body calm down, stabilize mood, create steady energy, and mobilize fat burning. We didn't believe it ourselves at first. But now it's our purpose to continue spreading the word and holding the accountability space for others to flourish like never before.

Ultimately, there are no shortcuts to building a healthy, resilient, strong, lean body. In fact, several studies show that the slower you lose body fat, the more likely you are to keep it off.

Why? Because that's evidence that you're likely not doing anything super drastic in terms of changing your preferred lifestyle. Slow and steady changes over time are best for sustainability. The body and brain do not like one big massive overhaul of change all at once - that's what sets us up for failure.

Who wants to keep going with new habits if they feel extremely restrictive and rigid? Not us. And not anyone we know.
