If you have low levels of these hormones, it can cause your metabolism to slow down. This means that you&#8217;ll have a more difficult time losing weight, despite doing everything right (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.physiology.org\/doi\/full\/10.1152\/physrev.00030.2013\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you go to the doctor with symptoms of low thyroid function, they&#8217;ll probably check your levels of three different thyroid hormones: free T4, free T3, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). If they find that your thyroid hormone levels are too high or too low, they may prescribe medication to correct the imbalance (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK249\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight gain can also be due to an altered level of reverse T3, which is another thyroid hormone that may play a role in regulating weight and metabolism. This means that if you&#8217;re having trouble losing weight despite eating healthy and working out, looking into Reverse T3 might help you understand why you aren\u2019t seeing the results you expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-progesterone-cause-weight-gain\/\">Does Progesterone Cause Weight Gain?

Cortisol is the stress hormone, and it&#8217;s important for keeping your body running so that you can stay alert <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/ginger-aids-in-weight-loss\/\">during the day<\/a>. However, too much cortisol can cause you to gain weight. Cortisol is released in response to stress, and the more stressed you are, the higher cortisol levels will be. Chronically elevated cortisol levels can lead to increased fat storage. This type of fat storage typically happens around your waist, making it extremely difficult for women with this problem to lose weight around their midsections (<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/oby.20083\">3<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leptin\"><\/span><b>Leptin<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another hormone that plays an important role in regulating appetite is called leptin.

This means that highly processed foods and other sources of trans fats should be avoided as much as possible. Sources of saturated fat like fatty meats and high fat dairy should be limited, and most of your fat should come from heart-healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, and oily fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/3-day-cleanse-to-lose-belly-fat\/\">3-Day Cleanse To Lose Belly Fat: Get A Flat Tummy With These Tips<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Hormonal_Belly_Woman\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30912 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-4189-1024x576.png\" alt=\"hormonal belly woman\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-4189.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-4189-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-4189.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-4189.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_Intermittent_Fasting\"><\/span><b>Try Intermittent Fasting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some believe that intermittent fasting might help you naturally balance your hormones by lowering your cortisol levels during the day.
