Weight Loss & Insulin Resistance

So often I hear “no matter what I do, it seems impossible to lose weight”

I regularly have clients come to me after trying a multitude of different diets, exercise plans, and lifestyle changes - yet the weight still won’t shift. It’s an incredibly frustrating place to be!

There are so many potential underlying health issues that could be holding you back from achieving your optimal weight, and I can help you investigate.

The top culprits I see in the clinic as obstacles to weight loss are:

INSULIN RESISTANCE (see larabriden.com for more info)
Hormonal imbalance
Adrenal fatigue
Stress/excess cortisol
Hypothyroidism

Insulin, cortisol and female hormone imbalances can all play a part.

Many hormones play a role in the regulation of body weight. So when we experience times when we have hormonal imbalances, increased or chronic stress, perimenopause or menopause, in turn our capacity to maintain a steady weight can be compromised. You may often feel like you’re eating all the right foods and exercising regularly but with no results - in fact, you may even be gaining weight.

If you feel you have tried everything, let’s dive deeper with some extra blood tests as well as functional testing to see if there’s an underlying health issue holding you back. Once that health issue is address and the obstacle is removed - you should expect to see real results with your weight loss.
