Women's Weight and How Hormones Affect It

I've found that women who have taken birth control pills and women who have a

lot of female-related health problems that haven't normalized on my program yet,

will tend to gain weight for a period of time.

Birth control pills are hormones, and taking any kind of hormones has a much

more powerful effect on the body.

That is because hormones have many functions as the body's messenger's. They are

referred to as " signalers. " NOTE: They are so important that all other signals

within the cells are ignored when a hormonal signal is sent.

Not only do hormones send signals throughout the body to keep the communications

lines open, but they also can help perform specific biochemical functions. For

example, if you cut yourself, your body sends out signals to repair and replace

tissues, which are growth hormones.

The main reason women have female-related problems is because their sex

hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, etc. are imbalanced and/or lacking.

Hormones are categorized into:

Anabolic processes (anabolism), are hormones that build molecules, tissues and

even organs in the body, which includes sex hormones, insulin, and growth

hormones produced in the pituitary gland in the head which are responsible for

tissues repair, cell regeneration, and building new tissues as needed.

OR

Catabolic processes (canabolism), are hormones that break down substances into

simpler ones, which include thyroid hormones which function as general

stimulators of many cellular reactions, hormones produced by the adrenal glands

such as cortisol, and others.

The body strives to always balance out its anabolic and catabolic processes,

however when it is unhealthy it isn't as able to balance them as it would

normally.

People who are unhealthy usually have low adrenal and low thyroid hormone

production, which means they will have less hormones for the catabolic

processes.

Also toxins, including birth control pills, drugs, etc. also make all of the

body's cell membranes stiff/rigid, which means any organs involved in producing

hormones aren't as able to do their job (produce normal hormones levels), and

hormones that may be produced are not as able to get into stiff/rigid cells

where they are needed to do their job.

Gaining weight represents excess anabolism, which means your sex hormones must

normalize so a person no longer has PMS, cramping, tender breasts, irregular

menstrual cycles, fibroids, etc. and the body has to overcome the effects of

taking birth control pills.

That takes time and patience. Such imbalances in hormones can happen long before

puberty, and sometimes it starts before birth due to a poor " nutritional status "

acquired from parents upon conception.
