@billiekimmell1: Let's talk about one of the most common causes of hormonal weight gain, high cortisol. High cortisol leads to weight gain in four different ways: 1. It can cause fat to deposit in in your abdominal area (belly fat). 2. It can increase your appetite 3. It can lead to insulin resistance 4. It can decrease thyroid function + lead to estrogen and progesterone imbalances that are linked to weight gain.
