Do you have trouble losing weight?
Contributed by Christi Christiaens CN - CMTA - FDN - CPT
If you have trouble losing weight (even if you watch what you eat), then it is crucial to examine your adrenal function and your hormone levels.
This will reveal how your body is functioning internally and will give possible clues as to why your body will not lose the fat despite your efforts.
Take the following Hormonal Assessment and find out if your adrenals are fatigued from being under prolonged stress
- Do you often feel tired, especially in the afternoon?
- Do you crave sweets or carbs such as bread, pasta, cookies?
- Do you have dry skin or dry hair?
- Do you have tension headaches or migraine?
- Do you have insomnia or disturbed sleep?
- Are you irritable, anxious or depressed?
- Do you experience hot flashes or night sweats?
- Do you feel stiff or achy, mostly in the morning?
- Do you have trouble losing weight (even if you watch what you eat)?
- Do you feel rushed and/or overwhelmed?
If you answered yes to one or more of the questions your adrenals might be fatigued from being under prolonged stress:
Adrenal and Hormone Profile Testing
A simple saliva test tells you how your adrenals are functioning. The adrenal function test shows 4 levels of Cortisol and 2 levels of DHEA. The same test also shows levels of Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone and Melatonin. Having balanced levels of these hormones is crucially important for overall health, especially for maintaining ideal weight, for skin quality, for muscle mass and bone density, for heart health and energy production.If you body is in a state of adrenal fatigue and your hormonal balance has been upset, then losing fat becomes difficult:
We are facing an epidemic of obesity because the stresses on the body have reached an all time high. They come from our lifestyle, from processed foods, activity levels and from many emotional sources. This disrupts underlying hormonal balance.
Simply reducing calories if the body is not in balance will give very short and limited results. It is not about the amount of calories but it is about what the body does with the calories, and that’s immediately related to your hormonal imbalance.
