😟 Struggling to Lose Weight?
You watch what you eat. You exercise. You’ve tried every diet out there. Yet the scale won’t budge.
Here’s what many doctors don’t tell you: if your cortisol is out of balance, long-term weight loss is physiologically very difficult. If losing weight were just calories in versus calories out, the global obesity crisis wouldn’t exist. 🙊
Cortisol is your body’s stress hormone. It controls fight or flight responses and impacts many key biological processes. High cortisol over time can:
Break down bone and muscle 💪
Increase fat storage around the abdomen and organs 🥴
Raise blood sugar and insulin resistance 📈
Common signs of elevated cortisol include:
Craving sugar and carbs 🍰
Poor digestion 🤢
Increased appetite 🍽️
Reduced metabolic rate 🕑
Weight gain around your midsection ⚖️
🎉 The good news? Understanding your cortisol levels helps you take control of your health and your weight. Our office offers comprehensive testing that checks hormone markers to see what healthy levels really look like.
