It's a common belief that bioidentical estrogen can help with weight loss. But the reality is it depends on why a woman's hormones are out of balance in the first place.
Estrogen and other hormones have an important role to play in maintaining a healthy weight, as they regulate metabolism, energy production, and appetite. When hormone levels become imbalanced, the effects can be seen in sudden changes in weight.
Bioidentical estrogen is one way to restore hormonal balance and promote weight loss. This type of estrogen is derived directly from plants and has been designed to closely resemble human hormones, so it offers more precise dosing and safety than traditional hormone replacement therapies. It can also target specific symptoms associated with hormone imbalance without having unwanted side effects.
Weight gain due to hormonal imbalance usually occurs because of:
Bioidentical estrogen helps address each one of these causes by restoring hormonal balance through precise dosages of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones and cortisol. This can cause a number of positive changes such as a faster metabolism, lower fat storage and improved muscle mass.
In addition to helping resolve underlying causes for weight gain due to hormonal imbalance, bioidentical estrogen therapy also has other beneficial effects including increased energy levels, improved moods, better sleep quality and reduced inflammation which all contribute towards healthier living overall. For example, higher energy levels mean women will be more likely to go out for walks or exercise regularly which leads to better overall health outcomes.
