Keep your weight steady

The more irregular the eating and the more frequently a diet is attempted, the more the body seems to provide for scarcity and store fat.

Which hormones control weight

The distribution of water and fat in our body is largely controlled by hormones. In order to be able to lose weight, the thyroid and sex hormones should be in balance.

• The ratio of oestradiol to testosterone and progesterone is very important, as are thyroid and stress hormones and leptin, the appetite-suppressing hormone.
• A progesterone level that is too high or too low can cause weight gain.
• Fat reduction is inhibited by a low testosterone level.
• Reduced thyroid function puts the metabolism on a low burner.
• A high level of cortisol, which accompanies chronic stress, can also cause weight gain.
• Miscolonisation of the intestinal flora and insulin resistance can equally impede weight loss.

The route to a diagnosis

An appropriate diagnosis is important, including hormone assessments, metabolic analysis and assessment of the intestinal flora. Individually customised treatment with micronutrients, together with nutritional and lifestyle advice, may help you achieve your desired weight.
