Women, Weight & Hormones: 7 Strategies for Fighting Fat After 40!

Is fat collecting around your mid-section and, no matter how well you watch what you eat or how much you exercise, that weight is not budging? If this is your story, then your inability to lose weight may be connected to your hormone levels. Until you discover and correct any imbalances, losing weight could continue to be very difficult. Fluctuating hormone levels and ratios at mid-life very much affect weight gain and fat retention. In this workshop you will learn 7 key strategies for fighting fat and losing weight, including: which hormones can make you fatter; why hormone ratios are important; why you are gaining weight around the middle; what HRT or birth control pills have to do with weight gain; which food choices make this worse; how to have your hormone levels checked reliably; what steps need to be taken to safely break the vicious cycle of hormone-related weight gain; and how to help your body begin to lose weight again.
