In this newsletter, we will discuss the hormones that can affect weight gain, as well as some tips for losing hormonal weight.

The following hormones can affect weight gain:

• Insulin: Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy. When insulin levels are high, it can lead to increased appetite and fat storage.


• Cortisol: Cortisol is a stress hormone that can also lead to weight gain. When cortisol levels are high, it can increase appetite and make it harder to lose weight.


• Thyroid hormones: Thyroid hormones help regulate metabolism. When thyroid hormone levels are low, it can slow down metabolism and lead to weight gain.


• Sex hormones: Sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, can also affect weight gain. Women who are going through menopause, for example, may experience weight gain due to changes in their hormone levels.

If you are struggling with hormonal weight gain, there are a few things you can do to help lose weight:

• Eat a healthy diet: A healthy diet that is low in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can help balance your hormones and promote weight loss.


• Exercise regularly: Exercise is a great way to boost your metabolism and burn calories. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.


• Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for regulating hormones and maintaining a healthy weight. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.


• Manage stress: Stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which can contribute to weight gain. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.

Losing hormonal weight can be challenging, but it is possible with a healthy lifestyle and by following this tip you can start to lose weight and improve your overall health.
