The Hidden Connection Between Hormones & Weight
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, especially when hormonal imbalances come into play.
Hormones regulate many aspects of your body, including metabolism, hunger and fat storage. When they’re out of balance, it might feel like your body is working against you.
Understanding how hormones affect your weight can help you take control and reach your wellness goals. Here’s a closer look at how hormones impact you and what you can do about them.
Hormones: Your Body’s Chemical Messengers
Cortisol — The Stress Hormone
When you’re stressed out, your body releases cortisol, leading to mood swings, anxiety and depression, often driving you to reach for unhealthy comfort foods. After all, ever heard the saying “‘stressed’ spelled backwards is ‘desserts’”? When stress hits, it’s challenging to avoid reaching for a sugary treat.
High cortisol levels can also throw your digestion off-kilter, causing indigestion and bloating that contribute to weight gain as your body struggles to efficiently process food.
Plus, excess cortisol kicks insulin production into overdrive, which can mean more fat being stored around your belly. This is called visceral fat, which is not only hard to lose but also linked to various health issues.
Ghrelin — The Hunger Hormone
Ghrelin makes for hungry, hungry humans. This hormone tells your brain when it’s time to eat. When your ghrelin levels are high, you feel hungrier and are more likely to overindulge, making it tough to stick to a healthy diet.
Leptin — The Satiety Hormone
Leptin plays the role of satisfaction messenger. Produced by fat cells, leptin is a hormone that signals to your brain that you’re full after a meal. However, when you carry excess weight, your brain may become resistant to leptin’s messages, making it harder to feel satisfied and not overeat.
Sometimes, it’s not your choices that make it difficult to lose weight, it’s the hormones that regulate your appetite.
