4 Reasons You May Be Struggling to Drop Those Stubborn LB’S 〰️ 1️⃣Hyperinsulinemia: This condition is characterized by insulin resistance and hormonally driven fat accumulation in the abdomen. Insulin resistance means your cells 🦠 cannot absorb glucose, therefore forcing your liver to convert the excess glucose into fat. 〰️ 2️⃣Estrogen Dominance: Estrogen is produced and stored in fat cells 🦠. Our inability to detoxify this hormones leads to cravings, a slowed down metabolism, slow thyroid and weight gain. 〰️ 3️⃣Low Testosterone: This causes most men, and women to be in an inflamed state. Not only does this increase insulin resistance, but it pushes us away from a metabolic energy 🔥burning state towards an energy storing state. 〰️ 4️⃣Thyroid function: Low levels of thyroid hormone lead to a slowdown in metabolism that can impede weight loss efforts. 〰️ 🔑 All the above are a result of a damaged metabolism and most often occur simultaneously leading to a vicious cycle of metabolic turmoil, at which point the body is no longer prioritizing weight loss. It is in a fight for survival. 〰️ How are all regulated🤔The details will vary with each individual however the only way to regulate the human body is with food- to reduce stress and change the state (environment) of the physiology. . . #weightlosshelpneeded #troublelosingweight #cantloseanlb #thyroidweightloss #estrogenweightgain #hormonalweightgain #helpmeloseweight #metabolicmadness #findthebalance #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6SI7_gVWm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ryiq2o2bj6oq
