In this episode we will talk all about weight loss and the relation to hormones. Its going to suprise you that its not just as easy as talking hormones and then you start losing weight! I wish! Alot of factors come into play.

*Hormones: We will discuss the roll of each hormone in relation to weight loss and why imbalances may be slowing your progress.

*Your toxic load: Toxins will cause the body to store fat as a way of creating protection for our cells. If not properly detoxed prior to losing weight, this can lead to rebound weight gain.

*Cortisol and stress. Stress causes a rise in cortisol, elevated cortisol causes upregulated inflammatory cytokines that will cause you to be desensitized  to insulin resulting in insulin resistance and more fat storage. When cortisol goes up we inhibit GNRH( with helps produce our hormones) and Growth hormone. So if stress and cortisol aren’t managed you will struggle to lose weight!

Nutritional deficiencies. There are many missing nutrients that can further aide in insulin resistance these must be fixed first in order to improve insulin resistance

The gut. If you have an unhealthy gut this can lead to the release of LPS a very toxic chemical into the body, and will inhibit weight loss. We have to heal the gut in order for you to progress in your goals.

When all of these things are healed. Then the healthy diet, calorie deficit and exercise your have been doing will make a difference.
