Do you cringe when you see yourself in the mirror after getting out of the shower? Is the cellulite on your legs getting worse and worse? According to a psychologist in Venezuela, it could be caused by childhood trauma. Her name is Martha Sanchez Navarro and after years of practice, she’s noticed a pattern among her patients: Those with the most emotional problems have the most cellulite.

According to Navarro, deep-seated emotional problems that aren’t dealt with through therapy will find another way to express themselves. For example, if you had an abusive father as a child you might feel more stressed around men as an adult. This can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. But because everyone is different, some people’s bodies manifest emotional problems in different ways (such as cellulite). Navarro believes cellulite is a clear sign of childhood stress.

It’s a plausible hypothesis. After all, we know that . Unfortunately, it’s still only a hypothesis since there haven’t been any replicable studies on it. Someone could do an observational study of a large sample of women that asks about cellulite and childhood trauma, but even that wouldn’t prove anything. Until there’s scientific proof that stress hormones cause women to develop cellulite, we’ll never know for sure.

In my opinion, the reason women with emotional problems are more likely to have cellulite is because women with emotional problems tend to eat an unhealthy diet. Comfort foods might temporarily make you feel better, but in the long run they’ll cause you to store more fat which increases your chances of developing cellulite. Even if you’ve developed strong legs using the , you’ll still have cellulite if there’s too much fat covering the muscle. The Symulast Method is mainly for women who eat healthy and exercise but still can’t get rid of their cellulite.
