Healthy Weight and Your Hormones

For many, maintaining a healthy weight can come from a well-rounded diet and regular exercise. However. for others, it's not as simple. Your weight can be affected by many factors on top of what you eat and how often you exercise. These outside factors can include your metabolism, how much sleep you get at night, what your stress levels are, and your hormones.

Having a hormonal imbalance can be the reason why it's been so hard for you to lose weight and get back to the real you. Not only does hormonal imbalance affect your weight but your energy levels as well, which may be another added factor as to why you're having so much trouble dropping a few pounds. Hormonal imbalance may also be preventing you from gaining lean muscle mass.

So, what's going on and how do you fix it? Hormonal imbalance means that either your body is not producing enough of a specific hormone, or producing too much of one. Having a hormonal imbalance is common, and it can happen to both men and women, especially as you age.

Hormones help control the way your body responds to certain stimuli - including how you digest the food you eat, and how often you exercise. These factors can play a serious role in keeping your body at a healthy weight. If your body is having trouble breaking down the food you eat, your metabolism will start working more slowly. If you stop exercising, your body will lose lean muscle mass and gain fat. If you don’t get enough sleep or if you are under a lot of stress, your body will not be able to recover and heal. All of these factors will cause you to gain unwanted weight and can prevent you from losing it in the future.

Even if you feel like you've tried every trick in the book from trendy diets and cleanses to the toughest workouts out there and nothing works - you haven't tried Hormone Replacement Therapy. For many people, Hormone Replacement Therapy, otherwise known as HRT, has been effective in treating hormonal imbalance and hormone deficiency. HRT treatment can ultimately help get your weight under control, as well as help resolve other health problems such as the ones listed above.

At LongevityMed, we believe that HRT treatment using BioNatural Hormones is the key factor in balancing your hormones and helping you get back to feeling good and living a healthy lifestyle, as well as getting your weight under control. HRT, if started early enough, can also help prevent future health issues such as obesity and metabolic syndrome.

It's always a great idea to get tested to see if your hormones are out of balance. Having a hormonal imbalance is easy to treat, yet if left alone can cause a number of unwanted health issues - including weight gain.  At LongevityMed, we can help you get back on track with HRT and weight loss services. It's what we do every day and our specialty. Take our hormone test for Men or Women, or schedule a consultation today!
