Imbalance in your hormone system hinders weight loss
-
More and more health scientists are recognizing that women who want to lose weight shouldn't just watch their calorie intake or increase their physical activity. They also need to balance their hormone levels.
-
An imbalance in your hormone system can make losing weight very difficult.
-
You can actually see hormones as the managers of our body. From our sex life to our immune system from our appetite to our metabolism; it is all controlled by hormones.

Many women think that menopause and gaining weight go hand in hand and that there is nothing they can do to prevent it. While it is true that many women have a harder time losing weight during perimenopause, you can take action to change that!
-
To begin with, you need to become aware of what and how you eat. After all, this strongly affects your hormone balance and the way your body stores fat and produces muscle.

A diet that limits carbohydrate intake and is high in good fats and proteins provides the building blocks for all your hormones, including important hormones such as cortisol, insulin, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone .
-
On the other hand, a diet rich in industrially produced foods and sugars but low in nutrients is often responsible for your hormones becoming unbalanced. For example, a diet high in carbohydrates causes your body to produce extra insulin, which in turn can lead to unstable blood sugar.
-
You get a sugar rush followed by a sugar crash and these fluctuations lead to an overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol.

If your hormone level is consistently high in cortisol and insulin, it can lead to increased hunger and weight gain. And research shows that weight gain itself is responsible for rising levels of so-called sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, in the body.
-
We tend to think that adipose tissue does not play an active role in our body, but that's not true: it actively produces hormones (especially estrogen), which causes the number of sex hormones to increase.]
-
An imbalance in these sex hormones leads to even more weight gain and they are a barrier for women trying to lose weight. And this problematic vicious circle becomes even more important after menopause.
-
The good news is that by changing what you eat, you can naturally help your body rebalance the different hormones. You can speed up this process even more by using phyto-therapeutic herbal therapies that help balance your hormones.
