How Hormones Influence Your Weight Loss Journey

Dec 31

Many people struggling with excess weight often feel frustrated that popular diets and exercise regimens fail to deliver the desired results. We now know that hormones play a significant role in weight management and can sabotage even the strictest diet and workout plan.

As a holistic health coach, I help my clients understand how their unique hormonal imbalances may hinder their weight loss goals. An improved understanding of your body's intricate hormonal symphony is vital to unlocking stubborn weight loss.

Balancing Insulin Levels

For example, the hormone insulin regulates blood sugar levels and signals the body to store fat. When insulin levels are high, it’s nearly impossible to lose weight. Identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalanced insulin through nutrition and lifestyle changes creates an internal environment that allows weight loss to occur more quickly.

Managing Cortisol and Stress

The adrenal glands release the hormone cortisol in response to stress. While essential for energy, immunity, and more, elevated cortisol causes fat storage in the abdominal area. My clients and I work on stress management techniques like meditation, breathing exercises, adequate sleep, and adaptogenic herbs to rebalance cortisol and make weight loss more achievable.

Optimizing Reproductive Hormones

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone also influence metabolism and fat storage patterns. I provide personalized guidance to help clients nourish and support their unique hormonal ecosystem for optimal health and sustainable weight loss.

Supporting Thyroid Health

A holistic approach also looks at thyroid health. An underactive thyroid can cause weight gain, fatigue, and other issues that become roadblocks to weight loss. We can identify any thyroid dysfunction through proper testing and correct it through nutrition supplements or medication if needed.

The Holistic Health Coaching Approach

Ultimately, a diet or exercise plan that recognizes your body's intricate symphony of hormones will only address the real weight-loss obstacles. The key is uncovering your unique imbalances and taking steps to restore hormonal equilibrium holistically through lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, and other natural means.

As a holistic health coach, I partner with my clients to:

● Perform at-home hormone testing to pinpoint specific imbalances

● Identify nutritional deficiencies causing hormonal issues

● Create a personalized nutrition plan that targets hormonal health

● Suggest adaptogenic herbs, supplements, and lifestyle changes to rebalance hormones

● Provide accountability, education, and support for lasting results
