Unlocking Secrets of Hormones and Weight Loss

Balancing hormones is essential for achieving and maintaining healthy weight. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise. In order to maximize weight loss efforts, it is important to understand how hormones affect metabolism and appetite. By recognizing the role of hormones in weight loss, individuals can take steps to restore balance and achieve lasting results. In this week’s episode, Unlocking Secrets of Hormones and Weight Loss, Dr. Stephen and Janet Lewis will talk about the connection between hormones and weight loss, and what you can do to balance your hormones naturally.

Products Mentioned in Today’s Show:

FiberTrim – features Shimizu Propol® A propolmannan—a highly pure, natural soluble fiber. Propol A is created from Amorphophallus konjac-derived glucomannan using proprietary processing techniques. This fiber has been studied for its viscosity and for its stability through the digestive tract; and studies support its health effects, such as on satiety, weight control, glucose and lipid metabolism, and bowel regularity.*

Stress Adapt – helps your body resist and recover from the effects of everyday stress. Components of this multifunctional formula have been shown to support healthy cortisol levels, help alleviate occasional fatigue, promote mental clarity, and support relaxation and restful sleep.*
