Hormones & Food

If your hormones are not optimal, it can make weight loss feel impossible.

Low thyroid hormones, high insulin, hunger hormones and sex hormones all impact our metabolism.

And 88% of adults have a poor metabolism.

It's no surprise that almost 80% of our population is overweight.

Enter weight loss drugs like Ozempic...

It's interesting how people using them are all losing weight when nothing they tried before has worked.

You know why?

Because they were eating more food than their body needed.

If you look at photos from any times of famine, there are no middle aged women who are still 200 pounds.

Everyone is emaciated.

Because hormones do not trump food.

So people try to cut their calories more, try to exercise more to override their poor metabolism. But our hunger, an internal drive for nutrients eventually takes over.

But on weight loss drugs, you don't feel hungry eating 800-1000 calories, so people starve, they just don't feel it.

So a huge portion of the weight they lose is muscle not fat. So, just like doing a starvation diet, they actually make their metabolism worse.

And so far, most people going off the drug regain the weight, but this time it is all fat - not fat and muscle.

Weight loss drugs are not the answer.

Diets are not the answer.

The answer is to build your metabolic health so that you are less hungry and burn more fat naturally.

This is the key to aging strong and loving the body you are in as you age.
