About this listen

If you've tried every diet and workout but still can't lose weight, your body isn't broken - your hormones might be trying to tell you something important.

As a future dietitian, I'm here to share the truth nobody talks about: weight loss struggles often have NOTHING to do with willpower and everything to do with hormone imbalances.

Signs your hormones might be affecting your weight:🔸 Constant fatigue despite eating "perfectly"🔸 Uncontrollable cravings and mood swings🔸 Weight gain around your midsection🔸 Irregular periods or cycle issues🔸 Hair loss or thinning🔸 Feeling bloated all the time🔸 Can't sleep properly


What we'll cover in this video:

  • Why "eat less, move more" doesn't work for everyone
  • My personal story with thyroid issues and low iron
  • The 4 key hormones affecting your weight (cortisol, thyroid, insulin, estrogen/progesterone)
  • Actionable steps to support hormone balance naturally
  • When to get bloodwork and what to ask for


The hormones we're talking about:🧠 Cortisol - Your stress hormone that keeps you in "storage mode"⚡ Thyroid - Controls metabolism, energy, and weight regulation🍯 Insulin - Regulates blood sugar and can cause fat storage🌸 Estrogen/Progesterone - Influence mood, cycles, and sleep


Stop blaming yourself for your body's natural responses. When you shift from fighting your body to supporting it, everything changes.

Your body isn't the enemy - it's your messenger. Let's learn to listen to what it's telling you.
