For many, despite following a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine, it can still be a constant battle to lose the weight.  Could there be a link between hormones and weight gain for you? For many patients, especially women, I often find a hormone imbalance to blame mostly for their unwanted weight gain and other symptoms including low energy and mood swings.  What could be going on ‘behind the scenes’ for you?

Hormones and weight gain – what else could it be?

hormones and weight gainThere can be many culprits contributing to your weight gain including:

  • Food intolerances
  • Impact of stress & emotional eating creating the ‘cortisol belt’
  • Hypoglycaemia
  • Thyroid gland imbalance
  • Oestrogen dominance conditions such as endometriosis and fibroids
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • A drop in oestrogen: peri-menopause and menopause
  • Inflammation
  • Leptin resistance
  • Joint problems contributing to a lack of exercise
  • Or….just not knowing what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat

The good news is there can be holistic solutions that will work for you.  Firstly, the cause needs to be identified and if there is a link between hormones and weight gain.  By working alongside both your GP and naturopath, often a cause can be found.  I have successfully treated and helped hundreds of patients, especially women to lose unwanted weight over my 26 years in clinical practice and continue to do so.

The Natural PCOS Diet

Also, to remind you, I have written a dedicated book, The Natural PCOS Diet which is helping women worldwide to lose weight and conquer PCOS naturally.
