Ashwagandha is a 4,000-year-old herb that does a lot more than just help your body manage stress. Beyond its well-established benefits on stress control, there’s a very high chance that it can also help you lose weight.
I wouldn’t call ashwagandha a weight loss supplement in the traditional sense but there’s no question that many of its benefits can make your weight loss efforts MUCH more effective.
That’s because it just so happens to target many of the underlying causes of weight gain.
Here’s how it can help you lose weight:
1. By improving thyroid function.
2. By improving muscle mass and athletic performance.
3. by balancing cortisol levels.
4. By increasing energy levels.
5. By improving sleep quality.
If weight loss is your goal then make sure to combine ashwagandha with diet, exercise, and intermittent fasting as these form the foundation of your weight loss treatments.
Ashwagandha is most likely to help if you think that sleep, stress, or your thyroid are primary contributors to your current weight or inability to lose weight.
But even if you are just trying to be healthier or manage stress, it’s a great tool to use.
Based on my experience, it tends to be well tolerated in about 80 to 90% of people but there are some people who won’t do well on it so keep that in mind.
