As women, we are definitely at a disadvantage when it comes to gaining weight as we are so sensitive to the damage caused by stress and inflammation. We may see it as sugar cravings, waist expansion, moodiness, lack of sleep or even feelings of being overwhelmed. These symptoms can be clues that your hormones have become unbalanced. If not corrected, we are left with a broken metabolism and no matter what “diet” we may try, we continue to store fat and gain weight. If this is you, then it’s time to understand that our hormones govern nearly every aspect of fat loss, from where we store fat, to our cravings, appetite, gut bacteria and addictive patterns with food. So, what are these hormones that result in a broken metabolism? Estrogen, insulin, leptin, cortisol, thyroid, testosterone and growth hormone. In order to fix our broken metabolism, we’ll have to spend a little time understanding how these hormones become unbalanced and how to reset them.
