Why You Might Be Gaining Weight—Even When You’re Doing Everything Right
Have you been counting calories, staying active, and making healthy choices—only to step on the scale and feel completely defeated?
If so, you’re not alone. And more importantly: it might not be your fault.
At Cura Health & Hormone, one of the most common frustrations we hear from patients is,
“I’ve tried everything, and nothing works.”
And often, the answer lies deeper than diet or willpower—it lies in your hormones.
⚖️ Hormones & Weight: The Hidden Connection
Your hormones play a powerful role in how your body regulates metabolism, energy, appetite, and fat storage. When even one of those hormones is out of balance, it can throw your entire system off—making it feel impossible to lose weight, no matter how hard you try.
Here are a few key hormonal imbalances that can cause stubborn weight gain:
Thyroid Dysfunction (like hypothyroidism): Slows down your metabolism, causing fatigue and weight gain.
Cortisol Imbalance (your stress hormone): Chronic stress leads to fat storage, especially around the belly.
Insulin Resistance: Can lead to blood sugar crashes, sugar cravings, and difficulty losing weight.
Sex Hormone Imbalances (low testosterone, estrogen dominance, or low progesterone): All can affect fat distribution, water retention, and mood.
🧬 It’s Not Just About Weight
Hormonal imbalances can also contribute to:
Fatigue and brain fog
Mood swings and anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Hair thinning
Low libido
Irregular periods or worsening PMS
So if you're experiencing multiple symptoms and not feeling like yourself, it’s time to look deeper.
