@elevatemd: ‼️ This is a PSA to anyone in #perimenopause or menopause that is struggling to lose weight or is experiencing rapid weight gain! 👇🏻 The internet is loud and confusing. There are so many fitness pages promoting different ways to “hack your metabolism” and lose weight. But the one thing that is not being taken into consideration or advocated for is hormone health. When your hormones begin to decline during perimenopause, it creates a cascading effect across your entire endocrine system which can result in these common metabolic issues… 👉🏻 Weight loss resistance 👉🏻 Weight gain 👉🏻 Loss of lean body mass 👉🏻 Fat redistribution in abdomen & hips 👉🏻 Hypertension 👉🏻 High cholesterol 👉🏻 Elevated triglycerides 👉🏻 Elevated fasting glucose & A1C These things are not the result of ‘laziness’ or ‘lack of effort’. This is a biological phenomenon resulting in metabolic dysfunction that is non-responsive to traditional weight loss tactics. Period. 👏🏻 Let me know if you guys would like me to post a follow up video with more info on what is actually happening and what you can do to address hormonal metabolic dysfunction without running your body into the ground. 🫶🏻 🩺📲 We are currently accepting new Telehealth patients in the US.
