Blog 7: The Hormone Imbalance That’s Keeping You Stuck
You’re Eating Right and Exercising… So Why Aren’t You Losing Weight?
If you’ve ever wondered why your best efforts don’t show up on the scale, the answer may be in your hormones. Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers, and when they’re out of balance, weight loss can feel impossible.
At Health Wyze Functional Medicine, we believe everyone deserves to feel good in their body and live their best, healthiest life. That starts with uncovering the real reasons your body feels stuck—and hormones are often a big piece of the puzzle.
How Hormones Affect Weight
When hormones are balanced, your body works with you. When they’re not, your body works against you. Some of the most common hormone imbalances we see include:
Thyroid problems → A sluggish thyroid slows metabolism, leaving you exhausted and prone to weight gain.
High cortisol (stress hormone) → Keeps your body storing fat, especially around the belly.
Insulin resistance → Makes it harder to burn fat and easier to store it.
Sex hormone imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) → Disrupt appetite, energy, and fat distribution.
The Frustration Is Real
When your hormones are out of balance, no amount of calorie-cutting or cardio will fix it. Many people blame themselves for “not trying hard enough,” but the truth is—it’s not your fault.
Why Standard Care Falls Short
Most doctors only run surface-level hormone labs. If your results fall into the “normal” range, you’re told you’re fine—even if you’re exhausted, bloated, and stuck at the same weight. At Health Wyze, we dig deeper because we know “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal.
