Dr. Emdur:
If your cortisol levels are high, everything you do eat will turn to fat. So you need to balance your cortisol levels. If your estrogen level is low, when you do eat, the fats tend to get deposited in your midsection. If your neurotransmitters aren’t balanced, you will not lose weight. If you are not sleeping at night and stressed out, again you will not lose weight. If you have problems with your thyroid, you won’t lose weight. If you’ve had exposure to heavy metals, you can’t lose weight because all your protein systems will not be working properly. If you don’t have adequate detoxification, you know, with your diet, you won’t lose weight.
So you really have to look at all these areas to find out why someone who is really not eating that much isn’t losing weight because if your hormones aren’t balanced, if your cortisol levels aren’t balanced, if you are, you know, not detoxified from heavy metals you are not going to lose weight and you really have to look at all those areas.
