Fat Storing Hormone

Yes, there is a link between low hormone levels and weight loss. Low thyroid levels indicate that your metabolism has slowed to the point where you are unable to burn sufficient calories despite your rigorous exercise. As a rule of thumb, 20% of weight loss is due to exercise and 80% is a result of diet. No amount of exercise can compensate for poor dietary habits.

Low thyroid levels make it nearly impossible to lose fat. Here is a good example: your best friend eats anything she wants and never exercises, yet she never seems to gain a pound. You, on the other hand, exercise daily and nearly starve yourself, yet you still gain weight. In all likelihood you are “insulin resistant.”

Insulin resistance means that your body needs more insulin to control your blood sugar; therefore, your insulin levels increase causing your body to store more fat.

We screen all patients for insulin resistance, whereas, many diet centers prescribe phentermine to curb your appetite. Phentermine is nothing more than an amphetamine (legalized “speed”). In our opinion, this is a dangerous way to lose weight due to the nervous system damage it can cause. Once patients stop using phentermine, their weight usually returns.

In addition, we successfully use the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone specifically for weight loss.

"I'm a personal trainer. I see so many women who diet all the time, and they work out 6 times a week - and they just don't make any progress. They don't lose weight no matter how hard they try. It's very frustrating for me, because my job is to get those pounds and inches off them.

I have referred many of my clients to the Center for Hormone Therapy for the natural hormone therapy, and they always come back so excited after having their hormones tested. I have observed that after we get their thyroid up, then the dieting and exercise pays off big-time. The testosterone helps get rid of the flabbiness much quicker. They also have more energy to exercise when the hormones are balanced."
