Fix the Hormones to Fix the Metabolism

Step 3 is interesting because almost nobody talks about it. And I have included that because of my background with endocrinology and hormone specialty. This is a step that almost gets ignored. And I see that in my practice every day, you know, because we see a lot of middle-aged men and women. And the common problems that I see are hormonal problems that need to be addressed before we address their metabolic problems, because the metabolic problems are usually downstream from their hormonal issues. And those hormonal problems are subclinical hypothyroidism or mildly underactive thyroid. Thyroid. Then perimenopause or postmenopause increases your insulin resistance, or hypogonadism or low testosterone in men, that can influence your metabolism too. So these are 3 common things that we see all the time that affect your weight gain, that affect your metabolism, and that affect your mood.
