Real Solutions For Women With Weight Loss Resistance
Dr. Heather Rooks, DC
Weight loss resistance can occur when you develop or already have a preexisting metabolic imbalance that makes losing excess weight and maintaining your results nearly impossible, even when you are trying hard to eat less and exercise more. You don’t feel good about your weight or appearance, and you don’t feel good about yourself.
How physiological imbalances can cause weight gain and interfere with weight loss
When we’re totally focused on trying to lose excess weight, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that every system in our bodies is connected. If something becomes imbalanced in one area, it can quickly affect other aspects of health, especially weight.
We’ve identified four physiological imbalances that are common obstacles to weight loss in women. To make matters worse, these imbalances are often accompanied by distressing symptoms.
Weight loss resistance with thyroid hormone imbalance
The thyroid hormones directly control metabolism. Metabolism is how your body uses and burns energy. ANY problem with this gland will certainly affect your bodies ability to lose weight. Common symptoms include weight gain, dry hair and skin, fatigue, constipation or abnormal bowel habits, and edema.
Weight loss resistance with sex hormone imbalance
Your hormones and fat cells are key players in a whole-body network that controls your appetite, metabolism, heat regulation, digestion, and detoxification. Any chronic disturbance in the way your body’s systems communicate can cause weight gain and other symptoms, like hot flashes, irritability, vaginal dryness, and fuzzy thinking. Fat tissue also produces hormones (mostly estrogen), which raises levels of circulating sex hormones and often leads to imbalances – then you can gain even more weight while your weight loss resistance intensifies. Resolving hormonal imbalance can turn on your body’s weight loss mechanisms.
Weight loss resistance with adrenal imbalance
If you are under chronic stress – for whatever reason – your body and adrenal glands will work hard to produce enough cortisol to keep you on high alert. High cortisol levels are deeply linked to unwanted weight gain especially around the belly. You may also experience debilitating fatigue, low energy, anxiety, insomnia, and powerful cravings for sugar and caffeine. Providing the right support for the adrenal glands can calm your stress response which tells your body that it’s finally “okay” to let go of excess weight.
Weight loss resistance and neurotransmitter imbalance
Brain neurotransmitters help your nervous system talk to the rest of your body. The neurotransmitter serotonin strongly influences how you gain – and lose – weight. If you don’t have enough serotonin, you’ll crave carbohydrates and sweets which your body uses to make more serotonin. But this also triggers more insulin production and creates a vicious circle – the more sweets you eat, the more you WANT to eat. You may feel it’s your fault, but your body is actually telling you to eat more of the foods that will cause weight accumulation. You may also notice changes to your mood and sleeping patterns. Targeted support for key neurotransmitter production can resolve imbalances and weight loss resistance.
