Hormone Balancing for weight loss
At Sunshine Health DPC, we recognize that hormonal imbalances can significantly affect weight loss efforts. Our hormone balancing for weight loss program takes a personalized and comprehensive approach to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight by addressing the underlying hormonal factors that may contribute to weight challenges.
What is Hormone Balancing for Weight Loss?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, appetite, energy levels, and fat storage. When hormones like insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones, or sex hormones (eg, estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone and testosterone)
are out of balance, they can hinder weight loss despite healthy eating and exercise.
At Sunshine Health DPC, we focus on identifying and correcting these imbalances to restore your body’s natural ability to lose weight effectively.
How the process works:
1
Comprehensive Assessment
- We begin with a detailed evaluation of your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and weight loss challenges.
- Lab tests may be conducted to measure key hormones, including thyroid function, insulin levels, cortisol, and sex hormones.
2
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, we develop a personalized plan that may include:
- Hormone optimization: Using bioidentical hormone therapy (if needed) to restore balance.
- Dietary guidance: Tailored meal plans to regulate blood sugar and support hormonal health.
- Exercise recommendations: Workouts designed to boost metabolism and optimize hormone function.
- Stress management: Techniques to reduce cortisol and its impact on weight gain.
3
Medications and Supplements
When necessary, we may prescribe medications or supplements to address specific deficiencies or imbalances, such as thyroid medication, growth haromone or insulin-sensitizing agents.
4
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Regular follow-ups to track progress, adjust your treatment plan, and provide support to ensure lasting success.
Key Hormones Involved
in Weight Management
- Insulin: Regulates blood sugar and fat storage. Imbalances can lead to weight gain and difficulty losing fat.
- Cortisol: Chronic stress can elevate cortisol levels, leading to increased fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
- Thyroid Hormones: Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can slow metabolism and cause weight gain.
- Sex Hormones: Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can affect fat distribution, muscle mass, and metabolism.
- Leptin and Ghrelin: These “hunger hormones” control appetite and satiety, and their dysregulation can lead to overeating.
- Growth hormone boosts metabolism, promotes fat burning, preserves muscle mass, and supports energy levels, aiding effective weight management.
- Testosterone helps increase muscle mass, boost metabolism, reduce fat storage, and improve energy levels, supporting effective weight management.
