WEIGHT LOSS CLASS November 14, 2026

WHY AM I GAINING WEIGHT?
What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You

Okay… if you’ve ever thought, “WHY am I gaining weight when I’m not doing anything differently?!” this class is for you. 😂

Maybe the scale keeps climbing even though you’re trying to eat well.

Maybe you’re doing all the things that used to work, but your body simply isn’t responding the same way anymore.

Maybe you’ve gained weight since having babies, entering your 40s, moving into menopause or going through a stressful season.

Or maybe you’re dealing with cravings, exhaustion, inflammation, poor sleep, digestive issues, stubborn belly weight or hormones that feel completely out of control.

And yes… men, this class is for you too! 😆

We’re often told that weight gain is simply about eating too much and not exercising enough.

But what if there is more to the story?

What if your body isn’t failing you?

What if the weight is actually a clue that something deeper needs attention?

That’s exactly why Nate and I wanted to teach this class.

We’ll be talking about the many pieces that can influence weight, including:

Hormones
Blood sugar
Stress and cortisol
Sleep
Digestion and gut health
Inflammation
Nutrient depletion
Movement
Muscle
Metabolism
Herbs and nutrition

Nate has been a chiropractor for 26 years and is also a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. He loves functional medicine and helping people understand how the different systems of the body work together.

And then there’s me. 😂 I’m Kara, owner of ApotheKara and an herbalist. I’m probably going to ask what you’re eating, whether you’re pooping, how much sunshine you’re getting, what your stress looks like and which herbs you’ve tried.

Nate and I look at the body a little differently, and that’s what makes teaching together so much fun.

We don’t want this to feel like a stuffy lecture, and we definitely aren’t going to tell you to simply “eat less and move more.”

We want to help you understand what your body may be asking for, why weight can become so stubborn and what changes can help you begin supporting your body from the roots.

And PLEASE bring your questions! We’ve left plenty of time after the class to talk, answer questions and help you connect the pieces.
