Reasons Why You’ve Gained Weight
Hi Ladies! Let’s talk about something we all hate ➡️ WEIGHT GAIN! 😖
I got married over two years ago and the post-marriage weight gain is real😩
Hands up if any of you have experienced this or the “freshman 15” just after starting university!
Why does this happen?
Whether its due to a slowing down of the metabolism as we grow older, poor dietary habits or a sedentary lifestyle due to doing work and studies on the computer, we all have had times when we packed on more pounds than we wanted to.
Personally, it still happened despite a healthy diet and exercising regularly! How many of you are struggling in that aspect as well?
We all know what we should be eating, what exercises we should be doing but sometimes the MOTIVATION isn’t there!
When the body is sleep-deprived, the level of ghrelin hormone spikes, while the level of leptin falls, leading to an increase in hunger and we eat more during the day.
When stress levels are high, cortisol is also high and increases belly fat accumulation.
For women particularly, certain conditions like PCOS, Endometriosis, Menopause and Hypothyroidism may also be common causes of weight gain.
Weight gain in PCOS is due to insulin resistance and in Endometriosis it is due to the high levels of estrogen and inflammation in the abdomen.
Around menopause, weight gain can be due to slowing of metabolism, hormonal imbalances and loss of muscle mass that occurs as we get older.
Naturopathic medicine aims to get to the root cause of your hormonal imbalance and weight gain and provides you with the right guidance for achieving your health goals ✅
