The complete Idiots guide to hormone weight loss

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

This week Dr. Stanton will join me to explain that losing weight and keeping it off entails more than just eating right and exercising. While those are fundamental, she will explain how hormonal changes due to stress, environmental toxins, lack of sleep, estrogen loss and thyroid problems, can lead to weight gain no matter how well you might eat or how much you exercise. Dr. Stanton will explain how our hormones work together to keep our bodies functioning at optimal levels and how when just one is off balance it derails all the others, ultimately developing a hormonal condition that affects our ability to lose weight, despite our best efforts.
