⚖️🧬 How Hormonal Imbalance Affects Your Weight

Struggling with weight despite eating right and exercising?The real culprit might not be your willpower — it could be your hormones.

Many people are frustrated by unexplained weight gain. The truth is: hormones control your metabolism, hunger, fat storage, and energy.

🌀 Thyroid (Hypothyroidism) – Slows down metabolism, causes fatigue & weight gain

💢 Insulin Resistance – Leads to belly fat, sugar cravings, and PCOS

🌙 Cortisol (Stress Hormone) – High stress = fat around the waist

⚖️ Estrogen Imbalance – Especially during menopause or PCOS

🍽️ Leptin & Ghrelin – Control hunger; imbalance leads to overeating

Hormonal imbalance often arises from Agni (digestive fire) disturbance, Ama (toxins) buildup, and a Vata-Pitta imbalance.

✅ Detox the gut

✅ Support liver function (seat of hormone processing)

✅ Practice Dinacharya (daily rhythm)

✅ Eat sattvic, hormone-friendly foods like flaxseed, turmeric, curry leaves

✔️ Follow regular sleep and meal timings

✔️ Manage stress with yoga & pranayama

✔️ Avoid sugar, processed foods, and late-night eating

✔️ Use herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Triphala (under supervision)

💬 Your weight isn’t just about calories — it’s about balance. Support your hormones, and your body will follow.
