Fibroids cause rapid weight gain in women

Find out how Hormones cause weight gain

Uterine fibroids, or uterine myomas, affect more than 30% of women. They occur when a single cell reproduces again & again from the muscular wall of the uterus and develops into a firm, rubbery type mass completely distinct from surrounding tissue. The signs and symptoms of fibroids are heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, bleeding between periods, pain, urinary problems and constipation to name a few.

Fibroids develop in an oestrogen dominant environment and can contribute to insulin sensitivity and weight gain. If you have weight problems and know you also have fibroids it is a key sign that hormones are at play.

The problem with fibroids are, the longer you fail to treat these hormonal imbalances the fat cells that they produce, become 'SICK' or DISEASED and start to STORE, and PRODUCE fat on their own. This is really important to understand as it is the ANSWER to why you will continually gain weight and won't be able to lose it if you don't treat the cause. So let me explain ...

1. Fat cells found in tummy fat are not just inert storage depots for surplus calories. Studies have established that fat cells STORE other fat producing hormones such as oestrogen - which produces fat.

2. Fat cells also become ACTIVE, secreting a wealth of cytokines, hormones and free fatty acids that influence your metabolism such as Leptin which controls appetite, and adiponectin, which makes the body more sensitive to insulin and controls blood sugar levels.

3. So, the longer your fat cells have been around, or the longer you have been over weight, the harder it will be to lose weight because your fat cells are DISEASED. In addition, since fat cells secrete certain hormones and other substances much like other organs in the body, they in themselves become drivers of weight gain.

4. To make things worse, it is not unusual for women with fibroids to have a genetic weakness in the MTHFR gene, your body will typically not be able to lose fat only store it. But the good news is, we can test for this and correct it using natural treatments and cures.
