Most people get told to “eat less and move more” when weight gain concentrates around the midsection. But there’s a common chain reaction that links hormone imbalance to insulin resistance—and it’s often misunderstood and treated as separate problems.
• Low progesterone can allow estrogen to dominate
• Estrogen can promote fat storage, especially abdominal fat
• That stored abdominal fat can drive insulin resistance
• Insulin resistance reduces efficient sugar processing—so fat storage can keep increasing
• This same pattern can show up in men too (low testosterone → estrogen dominance → belly fat → insulin resistance)
• You don’t have 10 problems. Often there are 2 connected root causes
• If you’re not being tested—or you’re tested with the wrong approach—you can end up treating symptoms without confirming the cause
If you want to identify the root cause, take the root cause assessment (link in bio).
