The hormones that are impacting your weight include:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>ESTROGEN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nDifferent forms of estrogen contribute to metabolism, maintaining cholesterol levels, improving bone health, and balancing our mood. Estrogen also acts to retain salt and water leading up to a menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n
Women with decreased levels of estrogen (such as during menopause) often find that they gain weight in their thighs and hips. Many times, their mood drops as well, discouraging them from going to the gym, and causing them to lose lean muscle mass.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>PROGESTERONE<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nProgesterone helps to balance insulin sensitivities, maintain metabolism and thyroid hormones, and our libido. Levels increase when your body is preparing to mensurate to balance our estrogen–preventing increased swelling. It is also an appetite stimulus, preventing you from undereating when estrogen levels ramp up for the possibility of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>TESTOSTERONE<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nWhen estrogen and progesterone become scarce, the male sex hormone, testosterone comes to the forefront. While testosterone is effective for growth and maintenance of muscle mass and metabolism, as well as endurance and stamina, too much can lead to insulin-resistance and the dreaded abdominal fat buildup.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>INSULIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nWhen you ingest sugar, your body has two options: use it for energy or keep it as fat. Insulin is the hormone that dictates how the glucose (sugar) is going to be utilized. Consuming too much sugar can wear out your pancreas, causing it to over-produce insulin and causing you to develop insulin resistance. Now that your body isn’t being told how to effectively remove glucose from the blood, it starts to store it as excess fat. This leads to prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and, of course, fat gain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>LEPTIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nLeptin is your checks and balances hormone between food consumed and energy used. Healthy levels of leptin release themselves during the day to quell the hunger pangs that might cause you to overeat. Unfortunately, as you lose weight, the fat tissue that stores leptin depletes, causing you to feel hungrier. Sadly this means that if you’re in the middle of a weight loss spree, your appetite can spike, causing you to undo the hard work you’ve put in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>GHRELIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGhrelin is the hunger hormone, which basically provides the opposite effect of leptin. Produced in your gut, ghrelin travels through your blood stream to tell your brain it’s time to eat. Human bodies really don’t like to starve, but we can get so caught up in our goings-on that we can forget to eat, which is where ghrelin comes in to save the day.<\/p>\n
However, ghrelin can increase when we diet, gain fat weight, or get poor sleep. When our other hormones begin to fluctuate, ghrelin can skyrocket, leading to emotional or binge eating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>THYROID<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThyroid dysfunction has become more well known in the past decade. Many people have heard of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. As your thyroid creates and releases hormones that regulate your metabolism and contribute to your general body-mass index, it is a gland that when imbalanced, can cause major damage.<\/p>\n
Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid, releasing fewer hormones and generally the culprit of the two when it comes to gaining or holding onto unwanted weight. Healing thyroid malfunction can be an excellent first step to your weight loss goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>CORTISOL<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nBelieve it or not, cortisol is an extremely useful steroid hormone that helps to regulate metabolism, inflammatory responses, salt and water balance, blood pressure, muscle mass, cognitive functions, diurnal rhythm, and more. When we aren’t getting enough sleep, or we’re stressed out, our body releases cortisol in an attempt to regulate and push us into fight or flight. This can cause increased appetite and cravings for salty and sugary foods, as well as cause us to become fatigued or depressed. These can lead to weight gain and retention, and prevent you from seeing that release of stubborn fat that you long for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>INSULIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nWhen you ingest sugar, your body has two options: use it for energy or keep it as fat. Insulin is the hormone that dictates how the glucose (sugar) is going to be utilized. Consuming too much sugar can wear out your pancreas, causing it to over-produce insulin and causing you to develop insulin resistance. Now that your body isn’t being told how to effectively remove glucose from the blood, it starts to store it as excess fat. This leads to prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and, of course, fat gain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>LEPTIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nLeptin is your checks and balances hormone between food consumed and energy used. Healthy levels of leptin release themselves during the day to quell the hunger pangs that might cause you to overeat. Unfortunately, as you lose weight, the fat tissue that stores leptin depletes, causing you to feel hungrier. Sadly this means that if you’re in the middle of a weight loss spree, your appetite can spike, causing you to undo the hard work you’ve put in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>GHRELIN<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGhrelin is the hunger hormone, which basically provides the opposite effect of leptin. Produced in your gut, ghrelin travels through your blood stream to tell your brain it’s time to eat. Human bodies really don’t like to starve, but we can get so caught up in our goings-on that we can forget to eat, which is where ghrelin comes in to save the day.<\/p>\n
However, ghrelin can increase when we diet, gain fat weight, or get poor sleep. When our other hormones begin to fluctuate, ghrelin can skyrocket, leading to emotional or binge eating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>THYROID<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThyroid dysfunction has become more well known in the past decade. Many people have heard of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. As your thyroid creates and releases hormones that regulate your metabolism and contribute to your general body-mass index, it is a gland that when imbalanced, can cause major damage.<\/p>\n
Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid, releasing fewer hormones and generally the culprit of the two when it comes to gaining or holding onto unwanted weight. Healing thyroid malfunction can be an excellent first step to your weight loss goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>CORTISOL<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nBelieve it or not, cortisol is an extremely useful steroid hormone that helps to regulate metabolism, inflammatory responses, salt and water balance, blood pressure, muscle mass, cognitive functions, diurnal rhythm, and more. When we aren’t getting enough sleep, or we’re stressed out, our body releases cortisol in an attempt to regulate and push us into fight or flight. This can cause increased appetite and cravings for salty and sugary foods, as well as cause us to become fatigued or depressed. These can lead to weight gain and retention, and prevent you from seeing that release of stubborn fat that you long for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
