Medically supervised weight loss doesn’t just transform your body—it transforms your health, your confidence, and your life. Whether you’re looking to lose weight for better mobility, increased energy, or long-term disease prevention, we’re here to guide you to lasting success.
The Midlife Hormonal Shift: Why Weight Gain and Metabolic Dysfunction Happen
As men and women enter midlife, hormonal changes begin to significantly impact their metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. These changes often lead to frustrating weight gain and metabolic dysfunction, even for those maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Here’s how midlife hormones contribute:
The Role of Hormones in Midlife Weight Gain and Metabolism
Estrogen
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels in women decline, which disrupts the body’s ability to regulate fat storage.
This often leads to an increase in abdominal fat, which is associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
Progesterone
A decline in progesterone, which is typically in perimenopause and menopause, can lead to water retention, bloating, and fatigue, further complicating weight management.
Progesterone also supports restful sleep, and its decline may contribute to insomnia, which impacts metabolism and appetite regulation.
Testosterone
In men, declining testosterone levels contribute to reduced muscle mass and strength, leading to a slower metabolism and increased fat storage.
In women, testosterone plays a key role in muscle maintenance and energy, and its decline can exacerbate weight gain and fatigue.
Thyroid Hormones
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, and even mild thyroid dysfunction can lead to weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and low energy levels.
Hormonal imbalances in midlife can disrupt thyroid function, compounding weight challenges.
Cortisol & Insulin
Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels and increase insulin resistance causing the body to becomes less effective at processing sugar, increasing fat accumulation and the risk of chronic disease like diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Why Traditional Diets and Exercise Alone Don’t Work
These hormonal and metabolic shifts make it nearly impossible to achieve sustainable weight loss with diet and exercise alone. Calorie restriction and intense workouts may actually exacerbate the problem by increasing stress and further disrupting hormone levels. Without addressing the root hormonal and metabolic imbalances, long-term success remains out of reach.
