Weight Loss

You have to be healthy to lose weight!
In order for you to lose weight, specific organs in your body have to be functioning properly.
Specific organs such as your stomach, liver, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries/testes and thyroid have to be working efficiently in order for you to lose weight.
Many chronic health condition patients, including thyroid patients, suffer from hypochlorhydria or low stomach acid so they are not digesting the nutrients in their food.
Your adrenals have to be healthy so that you can adapt to stressful situations.
Your ovaries/testes have to be functioning because they produce important hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Your thyroid has to be working in order for your body’s metabolism to function normally.
Your liver stores vitamins and is very important in blood sugar regulation along with your pancreas which releases insulin.
INSULIN IS THE MAJOR HORMONE THAT MAKES YOU FAT!
Losing weight has NOTHING to do with counting calories and everything to do with your hormones because it’s the hormones that BURN FAT!!!
