Have you been doing everything “right” to lose weight with no results? Restricting calories, avoiding sugar, logging hours at the gym, yet the scale won’t budge? You’re likely beyond frustrated that your tireless efforts haven’t paid off. We get it – and we have answers. There’s one sneaky saboteur that often derails weight loss goals despite your best intentions: hormone imbalance. At our functional medicine clinic Cambiati Wellness Programs in Lafayette, CA, we specialize in a comprehensive hormone panel to get to the root of inexplicable weight loss resistance. Could your hormones be working against you?
What hormones does the panel test?
Our panel analyzes key hormones that regulate appetite, metabolism, fat storage, and more. This includes reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It also looks at stress hormones including cortisol and DHEA. The thyroid hormones T3 and T4 are evaluated as well since they control the body’s energy expenditure.
Why is testing important?
Hormones work together in delicate balance. When certain hormones become elevated or deficient, it can shift the body into “fat storage mode” rather than “fat burning mode.” Testing gives us objective data to pinpoint exactly where the imbalance exists so we can personalize treatment to correct it.
How can hormones impact weight?
Hormones tell our body when to store or release fat. For example, elevated cortisol from chronic stress signals to store fat around the abdomen. Low thyroid slows metabolism making it easier to gain and harder to lose weight. Excess estrogen and low testosterone can increase fat accumulation as well.
Don’t doctors already test hormones?
Yes, but standard lab reference ranges don’t always reflect optimal zones. You could still have mild hormone issues causing weight loss resistance even if results are “normal.” Our analysis uses functional ranges tailored specifically for fat loss troubleshooting.
What else can the panel reveal?
Imbalanced hormones often overlap with infertility, sleep disruption, low energy, mood swings, and more. Comprehensive testing allows us to identify and address the root cause of multiple concerns. We consider the whole picture of your biochemistry and lifestyle instead of isolated symptoms.
