The Hormone Reset Diet: Heal Your Metabolism to Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days [9780062316257]

Overview

The Harvard-educated physician and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure shows you how to achieve hormone balance by growing new receptors for your seven metabolic hormones, making you lose weight and feel great fast!

When it comes to weight loss for women, most people don’t think about hormones. But when you develop resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones—cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen—your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism. And a slower metabolism leads to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. The solution to this hormonal imbalance, Dr. Sara Gottfried contends, is to reset the efficiency of your hormones by repairing and growing new hormone receptors.

Based on leading scientific research from the world of functional medicine, The Hormone Reset Diet is her proven weight loss and energy program to reverse hormone resistance and deliver a metabolism boost in just three weeks. It will help you:

• Boost your metabolism and calorie burning by growing new and fresh thyroid receptors;
• Increase your weight loss by re-balancing estrogen and progesterone receptors;
• Reverse your aging by resetting glucocorticoid receptors (for better processing cortisol).

For the last twenty years, this Harvard-MIT educated physician has helped thousands of women address the root hormonal causes of what bothers them most: excess weight, lack of energy, aging, and illness. Going beyond her bestselling The Hormone Cure, this book provides a complete anti-inflammatory diet and program for hormonal optimization for rapid weight loss.
