The connection between weight and mental health

How you feel about yourself impacts your biology and emotional resilience. Sometimes, you may feel low when you’re struggling with your weight. There are also shared physiological mechanisms for why your mood might be low or erratic when you are carrying more weight than you would like, and research shows that the presence of one increases the risk of the other.

How are they connected?

The shared biological pathways that can be affected by weight and mood include energy production and metabolism, immune system function, the interplay between your brain and hormones, and your microbiome and gut/brain axis. That’s a lot to understand!  However, regardless of the complexities involved, you can take control of your weight management by addressing your diet and lifestyle to support your mental health and your body’s response to stress. Supplements are also useful to support a healthy weight and mood.
