Can your hormones make you fat?
Does a period really make us hungrier? Do hormones really send cravings haywire? Yes agrees Kelly Woodford, 36, lost 26kg in 6 months, by using naturopathic herbs and supplements to treat an underlying hormonal imbalance.
"I have tried every weight loss group and diet in the book and nothing worked," says Kelly.
"That's when I decided to try the natural online weight loss consultation with a naturopath. I couldn't sleep and was very moody the 10 days before a period and my breasts were so sore I couldn't touch them. I also used to have massive cravings before a period and would get very cranky and irritable.
"Now after taking the herbs and nutritional supplements which helped control the stress hormone cortisol (as a nightshift paramedic my stress levels were pretty high!), and walking a few times a week, my symptoms and moods were much better. These days instead of a bulging waistband I have a bulging wardrobe full of gorgeous clothes."
Kelly's Tips To Kicking Excess Kilos:
"In Kelly's case there was low libido, mood problems and her adrenals in overdrive (think salt cravings, sleep problems, foggy thinking, relying on stimulants like coffee and alcohol), says Melbourne Narelle Stegehuis naturopath from Mass Attack in Melbourne.
"We fromulated a weight loss tonic that kept cortisol and other hormones on an even keel; we decreased ostrogen levels by getting her to eat legumes such as beans and lentils and took her off foods that affected her thyroid such as soy, uncooked spinach and broccoli. Although Kelly did not have a diagnosed underactive thyroid problem, her symptoms suggested it was still slightly off kilter. Supplements, diet and exercise were enough to address subtle hormonal imbalances."
