Are your hormones causing weight gain?

Are your hormones causing weight gain?

Hi! Today let's talk about something important: the weight struggles that many women face. Imagine trying so hard to lose weight, but it just won't come off. Sometimes, it's not just about eating right and exercising; there could be other reasons .

At our clinic, we have seen women who cannot lose weight even when taking thyroid medications. Despite normal tests, their bodies still have a slow metabolism, causing them to gain weight. And you know what? We have noticed another pattern.

Some women gain weight due to three things: too much DHEA, insulin, and estrogen.

These are important hormones, but when they are too high together, they cause weight problems, as well as other problems.

Let me give you an example: a woman in her thirties had a large cyst on her uterus, which meant a lot of estrogen. Additionally, her thyroid was not working well. She had irregular periods, severe menstrual pain, acne on her face, in addition to her weight gain.

She felt hot at night, her heart sometimes beat, her hands shook when studying and she had low sugar levels. These are signs of too much insulin. Sometimes this could mean that the body is tired or producing too much insulin, and checking hormones can help. We use DUTCH tests to find these problems.

Let's understand why this happens: Stress is a big reason. When you're stressed, some hormones go up and others go down.

Stress also makes it harder for your body to use insulin, making you crave more sugary foods. Additionally, things around us, such as plastics or paints, can alter our hormones if we are exposed to them.

So, if you're struggling with weight due to stress or other things around you, finding out why and getting help early is important.

Changing what you eat, managing stress, and avoiding things that harm your body are key steps. It's really important to help our bodies get rid of things that make us sick, especially for women with issues like lumps or difficulty losing weight.

Our health is connected to what surrounds us, and taking care of it is super important!

Possible solutions:

  1. Reduce stress levels and include high doses of vitamin C.
  2. Improve insulin resistance and increase dietary fiber intake.
  3. Explore detox therapy and consider adding DIM/I3C supplements.
  4. Consider using progesterone cream or chasteberry tree supplements.
  5. Explore supplements like ALA, NAC and inositol.                                                                                                                                                                              ****************If you are interested in a free 15-minute consultation, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
