I often hear from patients, “I’ve hit a stubborn weight-loss plateau; even though I seem to be doing everything right, like eating the right foods and exercising, I’m not losing weight. How can I overcome that obstacle?” While many culprits contribute to weight-loss resistance, I find addressing hormonal imbalances helps many patients lose stubborn weight. 
In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about three big hormone disruptors: thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones.
