Introduction
Weight loss is not simply about calories. Hormones, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health determine how the body stores or burns fat.
The Hormones That Influence Weight
Several hormones affect weight regulation:
- Insulin controls fat storage
- Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism
- Cortisol influences stress-related weight gain
- Hunger hormones affect appetite and cravings
Why Dieting Often Fails
Restrictive dieting can worsen hormonal imbalance, slow metabolism, and increase fat storage over time.
A Medical Approach to Weight Loss
A sustainable strategy focuses on:
- Stabilizing blood sugar
- Improving gut health
- Correcting nutrient deficiencies
- Personalizing nutrition plans
Long-Term Success
When hormones are balanced, weight loss becomes natural, consistent, and sustainable without extreme restriction.
