How do hormones make me get fatter?
Although medical science, doctors, endocrinologists and naturopaths may know about how hormones affect weight gain and weight loss, it is often not discussed or considered by most of the weight loss industry.
The simplistic model of ‘energy in versus energy out’ usually is the most commonly used weight loss strategy. That is, eating less and exercising more. Depending on the individual’s Hormonal Profile and what types of food they eat, this will either work a treat or fail dismally.
Unfortunately it is not common practice to get our hormones checked, but you see even the slightest imbalances can tip the scales and just make weight loss a futile exercise.
Hormones are often not integrated into diet programs because frankly they are very complex. There are numerous different hormones in the body and these present in over a thousand possible combinations that can affect your health and weight. So because it takes time and specific analysis to identify your hormonal combination, it is commonly missed by other health professionals. In fact working alongside other modalities can really help you to get the results you need.
The Endocrine System and weight gain
The endocrine system is an integrated network of small glands that produce and secrete molecules known as hormones. The main glands in the endocrine system are the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Thymus, Pancreas, Adrenal, and Ovaries. It is the regulation of these glands that is crucial to your body being able to lose weight.
What are Hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers that tell your organs and cells what to do. This system is like a communication network as it sends out messengers and then responds to feedback. It is governed by the master gland: the pituitary gland. The hormone molecules are released by one of the endocrine glands and then travel through the blood until they reach a cell with a receptor that it fits, like a lock and key, where only small amounts are required to have an effect. The signal may tell the cell to produce a certain chemical, hormone, protein or to grow or multiply. Nearly every biological process in the body involves hormones: metabolism, growth, puberty, immune function and reproduction.
Hormones and Your Metabolism
Fat storage or fat burning in the body is dictated by hormones, specifically the hormone Insulin. There are also other hormones that affect and influence your metabolism. It is like a big interrelated web where a subtle increase in one hormone may lead to responses from other endocrine glands that produce other hormones causing symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, low libido and weight gain to name a few. Actually when the word metabolism is often used with regards to your weight – it is actually referring to the hormonal activity and responses within your body. Your hormones determine your metabolic rate and your likelihood to lose or store fat.
Common Hormone Imbalances that Lead to Weight Gain:
Thyroid hormones make me fatter
There are 4 main hormones secreted by the thyroid that directly affect your metabolism and body fat. Even a slightest imbalance can throw the equilibrium out. Your thyroid regulates the metabolism of sugars and fats and muscular strength. When the thyroid gland is not working properly or if there is an imbalance, this can impede metabolic performance leading to fat storage. The problem is that even a low to normal thyroid function can lead to weight gain, especially combined with other hormonal irregularities.
It was this imbalance that I found myself with after the birth of my daughter, leading to frustrating symptoms of fatigue and stubborn weight that just wouldn't budge. To read more about my personal battle and path to success Click Here.
Adrenal hormones make me fatter
The adrenal glands are linked to our oldest survival mechanism in the body, the ‘fight or flight’ mechanism. These glands secrete hormones such as Adrenaline and Cortisol that enable us to respond rapidly to stressful or unexpected situations. These hormones give you more energy to deal with the situation at hand. When we are stressed for extended periods of time, however, the hormones can actually have a negative effect on the body and the adrenal glands can become fatigued, leading to many symptoms including weakness, tiredness, and weight gain.
Reproductive hormones make me fatter
The female sex hormones change naturally during the menstrual cycle and are the key to your reproductive health. Changes usually occur as a result of influences from your thyroid, adrenals, ovaries and pancreas. Oestrogen dominance is a condition that describes normal to excessive oestrogen in the body relative to progesterone levels. Often this occurs when we fail to ovulate. Oestrogen excess is known to decrease thyroid activity and to encourage the storage of blood sugar as fat – the result is a decrease in your metabolism and the vicious cycle of weight gain continues. There are also many chemicals in our environment today that we unknowingly ingest that mimic the effects of oestrogen. This increases the likelihood of oestrogen dominance. Some of the symptoms of this imbalance include weight gain, menstrual problems, breast tenderness, PMS and mood swings.
Insulin levels make me fatter
Insulin resistance appears to sit at the centre of a web of related hormonal imbalances. It often accompanies the most common complaints - fatigue and weight gain. This is because it interferes with your carbohydrate metabolism. Increased intolerance to carbohydrates means you find it easier to gain weight, especially around your waist. Your afternoon fatigue and sugar cravings may all be early insulin resistance symptoms.
Excess body fat is both a cause & effect of this. Making the effort to restore your body’s insulin sensitivity is crucial to rehabilitating your metabolism.

Factors such as dietary influences, ovarian imbalance and adrenal hypersensitivity contribute to stimulating the release of your ‘fat storing hormone’ insulin - a key intermediary in the relationship between your hormonal links contributing to your weight gain. Insulin regulates your blood-sugar levels within an extremely narrow range; it is also responsible for storing fat in your fat cells.
