Hormones and Your Diet

Tired of exercising and watching what you eat while failing to see the favorable changes in your body that you desire? Most likely you are missing a vital component from the classic equation for weight loss - your hormones!

Hormones are essentially tiny chemical messengers that spark communication processes throughout your body. Hormones are powerful chemical messengers in our body-they control everything from our reproductive functions to our mood, sleep, appearance and almost every other aspect of daily life. At the same time, our hormones are influenced by a myriad of factors, including exercise, sleep, stress, sex and even the seemingly innocuous, everyday chemicals from our cosmetics or soaps.

These wondrous, unseen chemicals produced by our body also manage everything to do with weight loss from our metabolism, to our appetite and our cravings. New research suggests our hormones also dictate where we store fat, how we will lose it and determine our success with different diets. We now know people who rapidly secrete insulin in response to consumption of sugar or carbohydrates tend to achieve better weight-loss results on a low-glycemic diet and carry more weight around the abdomen.

Since hormones control our appetite and stimulate metabolism, achieving and maintaining hormonal balance plays an essential role in achieving lasting fat loss. No matter how an imbalance manifests on the outside, the internal reality remains the same-any and all hormonal imbalance leads to difficulty losing weight and increased risk of obesity. Weight loss and wellness are next to impossible until you bring your hormones back into balance. But many of us experience signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance every day! Do you have trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning? Ever have an uncontrollable sugar craving at 3pm? Fail to lose weight even with diet and exercise? Chronic headaches? Lack of energy? Do you get stressed just sitting in your office? Our bodies are wired to send us signals when something isn't right, but often we're too busy to hear them begging for attention.

Dr. Natasha Turner (read more) knows about the perils of hormonal imbalance first-hand as she has effectively managed her own conditions - hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarian disease. Her thyroid disease was missed for 13 years. It wasn't until she ended up in the emergency ward feeling weak, feverish and unable to think clearly that it was finally uncovered.

Together, these factors have inspired her to write The Hormone Diet and it is her hope to help as many people as possible to avoid the frustration and long term health concerns - beyond weight gain - which are associated with an unrecognized hormonal imbalance.

Who will benefit and why

Hormonal imbalance affects more than 80% to 90% of adults - in one form or another. 

The symptoms of hormonal balance - headaches, fatigue, lack of energy, low sex drive, hypoglycemia - are often ignored or confused with other medical conditions. Yet, the majority of people have no idea that just one of these symptoms will lead to weight gain or prevent successful weight loss and could possibly lead to a serious health condition. 

The Hormone Diet plan to get back in balance and achieve weight loss can be individualized through its hormonal health profile.  After completing the questionnaire, the reader can tailor their nutrition, supplement and lifestyle prescription based on their current hormonal imbalances. It is a reference that can be returned to at all stages of life, whether male, female, premenopausal, concerned with fertility, PMS, in menopause or andropause. 

Being healthy is better than being thin. Oprah has stated her goal is no longer to simply lose weight. Instead, she wishes to be fit, healthy and strong, which are exact directives and ultimate outcomes of The Hormone Diet 3-Step approach. It does not promote a quick fix - but rather, it is a lasting health solution.
