Truth is, no one wants to feel this way. But these issues, although common, do have answers.
And one of those answers is hormonal imbalances.
If you had labs done and told everything is “normal”, but, you’re struggling with weight loss… then something isn’t normal!

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒: If you’ve ever been told you’re experiencing “X” symptoms because of stress, you’re probably right. Why? Cortisol! Cortisol is the chemical released when you’re stressed. And increased cortisol levels can increase your appetite, cause muscle breakdown, and cause you to store fat.
𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏: When we sleep, our bodies release hormones into the bloodstream. However, lack of sleep disrupts this process and can greatly impact hormone levels.
𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐓: You ever heard the phrase you are what you eat? That’s actually true. What we eat great influences our hormone production.
𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄: Diabetes, PCOS, Hypothyroidism, Depression, etc, these issues greatly impact your hormone levels and your ability to lose weight.
Weight loss in its simplest form is about being in calorie deficit. But other factors matter.
- Glucose levels matter.
- Insulin levels matter.
- Getting of birth control matters.
- Having kids matters.
Focusing on eating real, nutrient rich foods rather than processed foods, regulating your sleep, regular physical activity, managing stress, and limiting sugar and caffeine intake are greats way to ensure you’re getting what your body needs.
If you’ve never had your levels checked, we’d encourage you to do so, either from your primary care physician or a hormone specialist. It could be what you need to start seeing the changes you’d like to see.
