Is It Hormonal Weight Gain? Here’s How to Know

Hormones That Impact Weight:

⚖️ Estrogen & Progesterone

Imbalances can lead to weight gain around the hips, thighs, and belly—especially during perimenopause or after pregnancy.

⚖️ Cortisol

Chronic stress increases cortisol, which leads to fat storage, especially in the abdomen.

⚖️ Thyroid Hormones (T3 & T4)

When your thyroid is underactive, your metabolism slows—making it harder to lose weight, even with a healthy diet.

⚖️ Insulin

Insulin resistance can cause the body to store more fat, often due to diet and inflammation.

⚖️ Testosterone (in both men and women)

Low testosterone can result in reduced muscle mass, increased fat, and slower metabolism.

Signs Your Weight Gain Might Be Hormonal:

• You’ve gained weight without changing your diet or activity level

• Fat is accumulating mostly around your belly, hips, or face

• You feel bloated, tired, or inflamed

• Your cycle or mood is irregular

• You have trouble building muscle despite exercise

How We Help You Break the Cycle:

• BHRT to support hormonal alignment

• Customized nutrition and supplement plans

• Stress & sleep optimization to regulate metabolism

This is not about quick fixes—it’s about giving your body what it actually needs to feel safe, balanced, and energized.
