Weight‑Loss/Hormone Resistance

Functional Solutions By Perfect Health and Wellness

Stubborn weight despite diet and exercise? Weight‑loss resistance is usually multi‑factorial. We identify hormonal, metabolic, inflammatory, and gut drivers and create a stepwise plan so weight loss becomes sustainable — not punishing.

When hormones fall out of balance—whether thyroid, cortisol, insulin, or sex hormones—your body can shift into a metabolic holding pattern, slowing fat burning, increasing cravings, and storing weight (particularly around your midsection) even when you’re doing “everything right.” You’re not broken; your hormones may simply need attention and recalibration.

Common signs & who this helps

  • Pounds won't budge despite calorie control

  • Afternoon or evening energy crashes and sugar cravings

  • Unexplained belly fat, slow metabolism, or weight regained quickly after dieting

  • History of stress, sleep disruption, or several rounds of antibiotics
Many women with conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)—a hormonal disorder that disrupts insulin signaling and ovulation—experience stubborn weight and metabolic frustration. If your weight struggles coincide with irregular cycles, excessive hair growth, or acne, hormone testing may uncover the answers you’ve been missing.

Root‑Cause Assessment

Tests We Commonly Use

  • Comprehensive hormone panel (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones)

  • Insulin, fasting glucose, and HbA1c

  • Metabolic & nutrient status (vitamin D, B12, ferritin)

  • Gut testing (stool PCR, SIBO breath test) to rule out microbial drivers

  • Lifestyle and sleep evaluation
Hormone imbalances—such as underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), chronically elevated cortisol (the stress hormone), low testosterone or estrogen dominance, and insulin resistance—are among the most common but overlooked roadblocks to weight loss. Our panels give a clear, data-driven snapshot of what’s really happening inside so we can target the precise imbalances keeping you stuck.

  • Nutrition

    Anti‑inflammatory, insulin‑sensitive meal plans; carb timing strategies tailored to your hormone rhythms

  • Hormone & Metabolic Support

    Targeted supplement protocols and hormone optimization if needed—because balancing thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones is often the linchpin to metabolic recovery

  • Gut Repair

    Pre/probiotics, targeted antimicrobial protocols when indicated

  • Movement + Neuro Support

    Functional movement & brain training support to optimize metabolism

  • Behavioral Coaching

    Sleep, stress reduction, and accountability systems

Expected Timeline & Outcomes

As your hormones recalibrate—whether that means improving thyroid conversion, smoothing cortisol spikes, restoring ovulation, or reducing insulin surges—you’ll notice more than just weight loss. Expect clearer skin, steadier mood, better sleep, fewer cravings, and a metabolism that responds the way it should.
