6 Hormone Disrupting Chemicals That Affect Your Weight

The most frequent question that we are asked by our clients is 'Why are my hormones not working properly? Is this why I'm overweight or tired?

'And women usually think its their thyroid out of balance - or they think their cortisol is too high. But whats important to note is this, usually when one hormone is out of balance they all are a little out of whack.

And when we look at your toxin profile we always see that the higher your heavy metals and overall toxicity, the more your hormones go haywire.

So when your body is not working well, and your hormones are imbalanced you gain weight much more easily.
