Understanding Weight Loss Resistance

Why Traditional "Eat Less, Move More" Advice Fails

Traditional diets often fail because they don't account for the complex root causes of weight gain. Your body isn't a simple calculator; it's a sophisticated system of hormones and metabolic signals. You may be struggling due to a number of metabolic factors:

Metabolic Dysfunction
A history of chronic dieting, stress, or underlying health issues can slow your metabolism, making it much harder to lose weight.

Hormonal Imbalances
High cortisol (the stress hormone), low thyroid function, or imbalances in sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone can all signal your body to store fat, particularly around the midsection.

Insulin & Leptin Resistance
When your cells stop listening to the hormones that control blood sugar (insulin) and satiety (leptin resistance), your body is constantly in fat-storage mode and your brain never gets the signal that you're full.

Chronic Inflammation
Often stemming from poor gut health or hidden food sensitivities, systemic inflammation can disrupt metabolic signals and be a primary driver of weight gain.
