At BetterYou we take a holistic and scientific approach to weight loss. We know as women and men age, they may begin to see the numbers on the scale creeping upwards even though their activity level and diet haven’t changed. This cause of weight gain or an inability to lose weight may be due to a hormone imbalance. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance in order to accomplish weight loss.
As women age and approach menopause, they begin to lose estrogen and testosterone production. Estrogen plays a vital role in the female body from increasing bone mass to regulating fat storage. Testosterone plays a role in how we build and maintain muscle. When the ovaries begin to produce less estrogen, the body turns to secondary production sites, such as fat tissue. If your body is having difficulty maintaining its hormonal balance, body fat becomes more valuable, and increasingly difficult to regulate.
Hormone imbalance is not limited to menopausal women; men may face the same weight loss challenges as well. Testosterone is the main hormone associated with a man’s well-being. The amount of testosterone in a man’s body controls facial hair, muscle growth, energy and libido. As men age, their bodies produce less testosterone, a condition called “andropause.” A testosterone deficiency is associated with weight gain, especially around the abdomen. Restoring the testosterone level to normal may help men control their weight.
Losing weight with a hormonal imbalance is difficult. A simple blood test can determine your need for hormone replacement. BetterYou uses all natural hormone replacement therapy with a unique delivery system that keeps your hormone levels consistent. The goal of treatment will be to reach a hormone level that is similar to a younger you.
