For many, weight loss isn’t just about willpower, calories, or exercise—it’s about hormones. These powerful regulators can make it surprisingly difficult to lose weight, even when you’re “doing everything right.”
How Hormones Affect Weight
- Insulin controls blood sugar and fat storage.
- Cortisol (the stress hormone) can increase cravings and belly fat.
- Thyroid hormones influence metabolism speed.
- Estrogen and Testosterone play key roles in muscle mass, energy, and fat distribution.
When Hormones Are Out of Balance
Even with the healthiest diet, if your hormones are misfiring, your body may resist shedding pounds. This can feel discouraging—but the solution often lies in addressing the root cause.
