Why hormonal imbalance causes weight gain and prevents you from losing fat
Natural (Bio-Identical) hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
I want to get control of my hormonal imbalance. What should I do?

Many people have struggled with being overweight most of their lives, but other’s begin the struggle as their hormone levels change and become unbalanced, typically in their late 30’s and early 40’s. This is where hormone imbalance can change your metabolism, leading to fat storage and weight gain, particularly around the midsection. In this state, it is no longer just about eating less and exercising more. Leading physicians in this field say that getting your hormones back in balance can be essential in helping to shed excess weight and relieve other hormonal imbalance symptoms both men and women experience: low energy, irritability, mood swings, foggy thinking, hot flashes, and low libido. But unfortunately, hormone imbalance and weight gain are all too common.

Aside from the symptoms above, it is very common to experience a loss of muscle mass which decreases overall metabolism and the ability burn calories efficiently. And for men, fat redistribution can cause them to have a large belly and those unwanted and potentially embarrassing male breasts (also known as gynecomastia). However, unlike women (who’s treatment can be significantly more complex), men often need only be treated with testosterone to get the benefits of hormone replacement therapy.

Fortunately, according to a study published by Current Diabetes Reviews, the good news is that the underlying hormonal imbalances that trigger weight gain (and the many other symptoms) can be corrected with the right testing and therapy.

Unfortunately, many men and women have fought mid-life weight gain with diet and exercise without real success for so long that they have just given up. Far too many people struggle needlessly because they just do not know the link between hormone imbalance and weight gain.

Why hormonal imbalance causes weight gain and prevents you from losing fat


It’s not just about estrogen and progesterone for women or testosterone for men. Virtually any hormone (including DHEA and cortisol) that is out-of-balance can cause weight gain.

Perhaps the worst hormone offender in the battle of the bulge is high cortisol levels, since the abdomen is more likely to respond to elevated cortisol. And unfortunately, stress is well known to cause elevated cortisol levels and weight gain. Also, cortisol producing stress can come from a variety of physical and emotional sources – including the other symptoms of menopause!

If that weren’t bad enough, elevated cortisol levels can actually cause food cravings. In fact, elevated cortisol levels cause cravings for simple carbohydrates, which are the archenemy of people that are trying to shed pounds. Those simple carb foods are too often highly processed grains and sugars, which are calorie dense, low in micronutrients, cause energy spikes & troughs (lethargy), and physically as well as emotionally addictive.

Natural (Bio-Identical) Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)


Not all hormone replacement therapies are created equal. Many physicians have come to the conclusion that Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (also known as Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy) rather than synthetic hormone replacement therapy is a much healthier course of treatment. This belief was bolstered by the Women’s Health Initiative which looked at the risks and benefits of traditional hormone replacement therapy. This landmark study involved more than 16,000 women for over five years. The results indicated many potential negative health effects associated with traditional pharmaceutical therapy. On the other hand, there are many studies showing the safety and effectiveness of Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy.

The bottom line is that hormone health and weight loss are metabolically linked. And hormonal imbalance may be one of the most overlooked factors in effective weight loss for both men and women over the age of forty. So if you have been struggling to maintain your weight, to shed pounds, or struggling with the many other symptoms of menopause or andropause, then hormone imbalance may be holding you back – especially if you are doing everything else right. If this is your struggle, get yourself a natural hormone makeover, stop suffering, be rejuvenated, and start living again!
