Permanent Weight Loss through Hormonal Balance
Despite major breakthroughs in obesity research, losing weight
and keeping it off is getting harder and harder. Why?
Hormonal imbalance.
To lose weight and keep it off, your hormones must be
balanced.
What is hormonal balance? It really depends on who you ask.
If you ask a gynecologist, he’ll tell you it’s the female
hormones—estrogen, progesterone and prolactin. If you ask a
urologist, she’ll tell you it’s all about testosterone. If you ask a
diabetologist, he will tell you it’s about balancing your insulin,
glucagon and blood sugar.
An endocrinologist will tell you that hormonal balance is having
all your hormones balanced. Hormones like leptin, adiponectin,
glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), neuropeptide Y, ghrelin,
resistin, dopamine, serotonin, visfatin, cholecystokinin, thyroid
hormone, insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, cortisol, growth
hormone and many others all influence your appetite,
metabolism and weight. All your hormones affect one another.
It’s one big circle. When one hormone is out of balance, it has
profound effects on all your hormones. They are all
connected. Hormonal balance means having the perfect
amount of every hormone. It means having a body that’s
healthy and resilient.

body at a healthy weight. You will feel more energetic but
without stress or anxiety. Your mood will be elevated. You will
have deep, restful, rejuvenating sleep every night. You will
have a sharp mind. Hormonal balance means feeling better
and living longer.

| I read Dr. Isaac's book cover to cover and found it not only informative, but fascinating and easy to read. He make the highly complex endocrine system easily understandable in layman's terms, and his writing is very conversational and straight-forward. He has an open-minded approach to endocrinology, meaning that he understands there's not always a one size fits all approach to treatment. Patient lab results are a good baseline, but patient input and symptom description is also important. For this reason I made an appointment with him and was equally impressed with his bedside manner - he listened - and his thorough review of my case history. He even went as far as requesting all of my previous records from other doctors who I've seen for thyroid disease. The book covers all the hormones, their roles, and the various illness that can result from improper balance. His diet recommendations are very sensible and easy to follow. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the book and the diet section has inspired me and given me ideas to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet. For the first time in several years I feel optimistic that a) I understand what's going on in my body, and b) I've found a doctor that cares enough to work with patients until they are well enough to enjoy life without worrying about chronic health problems. I too was a bit concerned that he's not an Armour thyroid fan like so many of us who've felt better on that drug. I thought it would be my panacea based on Internet research, but instead it seems to be doing more harm than good. And the way he explained his thoughts to me on that topic made perfect sense. He supports the use of Armour for patients who do well on it, but it must be prescribed properly and carefully monitored. I would recommend this book for anyone with weight or other endocrine or metabolic disorders who wants to understand the role of hormones in the body in language that's clear and easy to understand. -Amazon.com Review |
