We have plenty of hormones which imbalances play great role in weight management.
The different hormones imbalances are even indicating where the fat gain is showing up. But also
If you are struggling to lose weight these markers would be interesting to check:
Estrogen/progesterone imbalance: weight gain in hips, thighs; water retention; low thyroid/metabolism
Testosterone/DHEA imbalance: decreased lean muscle, low metabolic rate; abdominal obesity
Cortisol imbalance: increased appetite, sugar cravings, and belly fat; inhibits thyroid function and metabolism
Vitamin D3 deficiency: hyperinsulinemia; visceral fat
TSH elevated: hypothyroidism, low metabolic rate, obesity
Fasting Insulin: insulin resistance, abdominal obesity
these are the factors which are connected with insulin resistance:
- high insulin
- high cortisol
- high HbA1c
- high stress level
HbA1c: predictive of type 2 diabetes
