Balancing Hormones for Effective Fat Loss

Hormones dictate how your body stores fat, regulates hunger and burns energy. When imbalanced, they create a cycle of weight gain and metabolic resistance. Ashley uses bioidentical hormone therapy to reset this balance, activating your body’s natural ability to burn fat, control cravings, and sustain energy levels for long-term health and weight management.

Key Hormones That Impact Weight Loss:

  • Insulin – Regulates fat storage and blood sugar stability, ensuring efficient energy use and preventing excessive weight gain.
  • Cortisol – Chronic stress triggers elevated cortisol levels, leading to increased fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal region.
  • Thyroid Hormones – Control metabolism speed, energy production, and fat-burning efficiency, directly impacting weight management.
  • Leptin & Ghrelin – Act as the body’s hunger regulators; leptin signals fullness, while ghrelin increases appetite, influencing overall food intake and cravings.

Through a functional approach to weight loss, Ashley helps patients regain hormonal balance, making fat loss easier and more sustainable.
