BEHIND WEIGHT GAIN
Have you ever searched deeper why you have weight loss resistant? Maybe its the chemicals in your body at work? Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Because of their essential roles in the body, even slight hormonal imbalances can cause side effects throughout the body.
2 Hormones That Causes Weight Gain:
INSULIN
Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas, a gland located behind the stomach. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells.
CORTISOL
Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, works with certain parts of your brain to control your mood, motivation, and fear. It increases glucose in the bloodstream, regulates blood pressure and manage the body use of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
When both hormone levels increases, patients report significant weight gain. Weight gain is also partly due to water retention and an increase in body fat.
