Understanding Set Point Theory

Many of us are taught that body weight is simply a matter of eating less and exercising more. But research suggests that our bodies actually have natural biological systems designed to regulate weight.

In this course, we explain the science behind set point theory — the idea that each person has a natural weight range that their body works hard to maintain.

You’ll learn how genetics, metabolism, hormones and evolution influence body weight regulation, and why dieting can often trigger biological responses that make weight loss difficult to maintain over time.

In this course you will explore:

• What set point theory is and how it affects body weight
• How the body uses homeostasis to regulate weight automatically
• Why dieting can increase hunger, cravings and food preoccupation
• How repeated dieting may contribute to yo-yo weight patterns
• Why the “calories in, calories out” explanation doesn’t tell the full story
• Ways to begin working with your body rather than against it

What’s included

• Easy-to-follow video lessons
• Audio versions if you prefer to listen
• Clear explanations of the science behind weight regulation
• Lifetime access so you can revisit the content whenever you want

By the end of this course, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how your body regulates weight and how you can begin to support your health in ways that work with your biology rather than fighting against it.
