Stubborn Weight Loss?
Help Is Here! 972-735-0707
Weight loss can be very difficult. I often see patients
who exercise and eat a healthy diet, yet they can't seem
to lose weight. Some even gain weight!
If this sounds like you, you may have a damaged metabolism.
Below are my 10 favorite strategies I use to help my patients lose weight.
1) Insulin Resistance and Weight Loss
Insulin is a hormone released in response to blood sugar which greatly impacts weight
loss. Insulin forces your cells to use sugar from the blood for energy. If the cells
become resistant to the insulin, sugar will not get used for energy. Rather, this excess
sugar must be stored as fat, making you fatter. If too much sugar builds up in the
blood (diabetes), it can cause large amounts of damage. Restoring insulin sensitivity is
a great way to reduce body fat and it is also the best anti-aging step you can take.

2) Adrenal Fatigue and Weight Loss
Stress will make you release high amounts of adrenaline and cortisol which will break
down structures in your body such as your muscles and your gut. It will cause poor
digestion, preventing you from absorbing nutrients from food. High cortisol levels will
lead to fat gain around the belly and eventually to adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue
leads to low cortisol levels which will cause bloating after you eat, sleep disturbances
(waking at night) and overall weight gain. When cortisol is too low, excess estrogen is
produced which binds to thyroid hormone, rendering the hormone useless. Those with
adrenal fatigue will have difficulty with weight loss unless the adrenals are addressed.
3) Thyroid Function and Weight Loss
Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolic rate of all the cells in the body. Low
functioning thyroid glands are very common, as are problems with thyroid utilization.
People with low thyroid (hypothyroid) might experience problematic weight gain,
fatigue, weakness, cold hands or feet, constipation, or develop brittle hair. Thyroid
function is intimately linked to adrenal function and to estrogen. I always test the
adrenals when I find thyroid dysfunction. If the adrenals are not functioning properly,
thyroid treatment is rarely successful. Another common finding in those with low thyroid
is severe iodine deficiency which can also increase a person's risk of cancer of the
breast, ovaries, testes, stomach and prostate. Read more about Hypothyroid Disorders.
4) Estrogen Imbalances and Weight Loss
Those with excessive fat stores (women and men) tend to have excess estrogen. This
is because fat cells store and release estrogen (as well as cortisol and
inflammatory agents). In fact, body fat is now considered an endocrine organ. Excess
estrogen stresses the adrenal glands and binds to thyroid hormone, making weight
loss very difficult. Excess estrogen is also closely linked to many types of cancer
including breast cancer and prostate cancer. It is very important for both men and
women to have your estrogen (along with thyroid and adrenals) monitored and possibly
treated to avoid high risk of these types of cancer and all of the obesity related
diseases. There are natural substances that are very effective at aiding estrogen
metabolism and proper detoxification and elimination of estrogen by-products.
5) Mercury Toxicity and Weight Loss
If you have ever had silver dental fillings in your teeth, you are probably mercury
toxic. There is actually more mercury than silver in those ugly black filings. Mercury
poisoning can cause overgrowth of parasites and yeast that can cause you to have
sugar cravings, ultimately leading to weight gain. Other conditions made worse by
mercury include anxiety, depression, hypertension, heart disease, and general toxicity.
Mercury is very difficult for your body to eliminate and therefore must be carefully
removed by chelation. When the mercury is eliminated, the yeasts, parasites and other
bugs tend to go away along with the sugar cravings. Weight loss is then much easier
to achieve. Read more about Mercury Poisoning.
6) Detoxification and Weight Loss
Toxins bind to our cells causing them to act inappropriately. Toxins can also destroy the
cell all together. This causes inflammation that can lead to changes in appetite and
the inability to burn fat as energy. I must give caution to anyone who is trying to drop
body fat. If your fat cells are very toxic, rapid weight loss can release those toxins into
your blood stream at high levels. This is one reason why people might not feel very well
or might get sick once they begin to loose weight. I can help you implement strategies
to avoid getting poisoned by your own toxins during fat loss. Read more about Detox.
7) Food Allergies/Sensitivities and Weight Loss
Some people are born with food allergies and some people develop them later in life.
Some reactions occur within minutes and are very severe. Other reactions can take
days and may only appear to be mild. During these delayed allergic reactions a large
amount of inflammation can occur throughout the body which can cause problems with
insulin sensitivity and many other problems that can lead to weight gain.

8) Sleep Disturbances and Weight Loss
Your body constantly break itself down and then repair itself. Sleep is when the most
repair occurs. Growth hormone, which is at very high levels during deep sleep, helps
the repair processes. Muscle needs growth hormone in order to repair itself after
exercise as well. When you have more muscle mass, you burn more calories and fat
in order to maintain that muscle. Leptin, another hormone produced during deep sleep,
tells your brain you are full after eatinga meal. Without proper sleep, cravings due to
low leptin levels are very common. Read more about Sleep Disorders.
9) Neurotransmitter Imbalances and Weight Loss
Neurotransmitters such as serotonin send signals to your brain to regulate hunger. Low
serotonin levels seem to be common based on the fact that 25 million Americans have
taken SSRI (Prozac type) drugs aimed at boosting serotonin levels. Low levels in
serotonin can lead to depression and anxiety, sleep disorders, pain and cravings
(especially for sugars), which leads to obesity. Normal serotonin levels can easily
be achieved with natural therapies. Read more about Serotonin.
10) Gut Dysbiosis and Dysfunctiton and Weight Loss
Your gut contains trillions of bacteria that line your gut. Some of them are very
beneficial, helping you breakdown food and make nutrients from the food. Others can
cause serious illnesses. The friendly ones help you digest your foods, while the bad
ones can cause absorption problems as well as inflammation. With proper care, you
can balance your gut bacteria, improve your overall health, and lose weight. Read
more about Gut Dysfunction.
