Hormonal Imbalances

The thyroid itself belongs to a system within the body known as the endocrine system. This is the complicated communications system that controls and regulates a vast array of reactions and processes throughout the body. Through the secretion of hormones acting as chemical messengers, the endocrine system influences mood regulation, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, sexual function and reproduction. A hormonal imbalance anywhere in this system can cause dramatic weight gain and difficult (or impossible) weight loss. Common for woman is an imbalance in the sex hormones, such as estrogen dominance. This overabundance of estrogen has been linked to obesity and insulin resistance, among other serious conditions (such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
