Yes! Often patients try unsuccessfully to lose weight with diets while the problem is hormonal.
Causes of hormonal obesity:
- Hypothyroidism - slowed metabolism
- Insulin resistance - constant craving for sweets
- Excess cortisol - fat deposition in the abdomen
- PCOS - for women, difficulty losing weight
- Menopause - changes in oestrogen levels
How Dr Caune helps:
- Hormonal examination (TSH, insulin, cortisol, sex hormones)
- Find the cause of weight gain
- Develop an individual treatment plan
- Advice on nutrition and lifestyle
When the underlying condition is treated properly, weight often returns to normal on its own.
