9 Hormones That Lead to Weight Gain and Ways to Avoid It

- How to Lose Weight without Workouts. You might think the only reason why you gain weight is overeating, but in fact it can also be the result of your hormones being all out of whack. Triggers like stress, age, genes, and poor lifestyle choices can cause a hormonal imbalance that leads to weight problems. To get the perfect body and keep it slim and slender, you have to follow our simple tips and keep 9 hormones under control.
Thyroid hormones 0:45
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. It produces the hormones T3, T4, and calcitonin, which are responsible for maintaining the body’s metabolism. If the thyroid doesn’t produce enough of these hormones, a condition called hypothyroidism, the result is often weight gain. To keep it under control, consume iodized salt (or seaweed if you’re on a low-salt diet). Avoid processed foods. Take vitamin D supplements. Consume foods rich in zinc like oysters and pumpkin seeds.
Insulin 1:32
Overconsuming processed foods, unhealthy snacks, alcohol, or artificially sweetened drinks can cause the body to develop a resistance to insulin. This means that muscle cells won’t recognize glucose-bound insulin, so all that extra glucose remains in the bloodstream where it doesn’t belong. This causes a spike in blood sugar levels, leading to weight gain and Type 2 diabetes. To avoid it, consume lots of leafy greens and seasonal fruits and veggies. Eat foods full of omega-3 fatty acids. Drink at least a gallon of water every day. Exercise a minimum of 4 hours a week.
Testosterone 3:45
Testosterone is often considered a strictly male hormone, but it’s produced in women too. It helps burn fat, strengthen the bones and muscles, and improve the libido. Age and high stress can cause a significant decrease in testosterone levels in women, leading to a loss of bone density and muscle mass. Work-out regularly and focus on muscle-building exercises. It helps boost testosterone levels. Avoid alcohol. Take protein supplements. Get enough fiber in your diet with the help of whole-grain foods, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseed.
Leptin 6:39
Leptin is a hormone that keeps the body’s energy levels balanced by keeping hunger at bay. But when we eat food rich in sugar, the oversupply of fructose gets converted to fat that gets deposited in the liver, belly, and other regions of the body. It’s these very fat cells that secrete leptin. With high leptin levels, the brain stops receiving signals that the body doesn’t need to eat at a particular moment. Avoid sugary foods. Have no more than 3 servings of fruit per day. Consume dark green leafy veggies. Avoid processed food.

Thyroid hormones 0:45
Insulin 1:32
Cortisol 2:39
Testosterone 3:45
Progesterone 4:40
Estrogen 5:33
Leptin 6:39
Ghrelin 7:42
Melatonin 8:12
To sum it up 9:05
SUMMARY
-If the thyroid doesn’t produce enough of hormones T3, T4, and calcitonin, a condition called hypothyroidism, the result is often weight gain.
-Insulin is basically responsible for maintaining glucose levels in the blood. Overconsuming processed foods, unhealthy snacks, alcohol, or artificially sweetened drinks can cause the body to develop a resistance to insulin.
-The primary function of cortisol is to decrease stress levels by increasing blood sugar levels, among other things. Too much cortisol makes the body store more fat.
-Age and high stress can cause a significant decrease in testosterone levels in women, leading to a loss of bone density and muscle mass.
-Progesterone secretion can drop due to a variety of factors. This can result in weight gain and sagging skin.
-When estrogen levels go up, the cells that produce insulin get stressed. This makes you resistant to insulin, which causes a rise in blood glucose levels and leads to weight gain.
-When leptin levels go up, the brain stops receiving signals that the body doesn’t need to eat at a particular moment.
-Ghrelin stimulates the appetite and increases fat deposition.
-Melatonin is a hormone that regulates your natural sleep-wake cycle. If we don’t get proper sleep, this healing process gets disrupted, which causes stress and ultimately leads to inflammation-induced weight gain.
-Getting enough sleep, keeping a nutritionally balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, getting at least some physical exercise, and avoiding or limiting stress will keep your hormones under control.

I started rapidly gaining weight for no reason after 7 (gastric bypass)years of maintaining my weight @127. Can any one help?
Carbon Dioxide
Yes, I definitely do believe that my hormones are completely out of whack! I need to go have a full physical done find out what is going on. I have gained 40 pounds in 2 months! I was a size 3 to a 5 and now I don't even know what size I am. I just know I can't wear my clothes anymore! I will be making an appointment with my new doctor for a complete physical ASAP!
Thank you for sharing! Well needed information! ❤️
no doubt ... im under all this ... ABSOLUTELY . perfect description .
TY so much for reminding me .
This is so helpful. I love you videos and they help me in my life
When I became 40, things in my body changed.
I KNOW that hormones makes it real hard for me to lose weight at 40. 😱
MissH Doe same here

@Free Gold Investment Kit thank you, me too. I've been in menopause since I was 39 and I'm 46 now. I'm on a natural hormone pellet and testosterone was one of them. I thought I was going to start losing weight and gain muscle again but nope. He keeps repeating what blue berries said above, don't do this or that and exercise. Everything he mentioned I do right. Anyhoo, useless.
@@TheSnflwr it's a bad idea to come to "Bright Side" for advice. It's hardly ever good. Hormone balance is really complicated. This video doesn't mention that all these hormones are affected by other hormones differently, some more so than others. Estradiol stimulates weight loss through insuline efficiency increase, but with Prolactin it stimulates weight gain. Testosterone can be rendered ineffective due to Prolactin (as Prolactin decreases muscle mass while Testosterone improves it) however, Prolactin by itself is not responsible for gaining weight. In fact it's encouraging a sugar release for muscles to use, meaning that it can lead to weight loss in men who don't eat much. Prolactin cancels out Cortisol, another hormone notorious for weight gain. It's not all that easy if you have to go through a similar checklist with every hormone you have.
Avoid processed food ...exercise well ...drink more water...eat healthy include vegetables ...greens ...add nuts n protine in ur diet ... for all types of hormone imbalances
Thank you so much for sharing.
Ur really making us stay on bright side.... Thnks alot😊😊💝💝

For those of us who have been studying these hormones for a long time there is a lot of miss leading information in there. Take ghrelin for instance, if you did what they said you’re ghrelin would rise…
Thanks! Got to know about lovely , wonderful , important harmons balance and imbalance in our beautiful created and blessed human bodys individually, as a family and as a community. And deadly effects of imbalanced harmons ie. weight gain and many diseases, sickness, disorders and illness.
so not fair for us we have to watch everything we eat and do just to maintain healthy body oh the pressures

Being Vegan, my life changes dramatically. I am more active. I have lost weight. I had hypothyroidism and pcos in the past. I do Yoga, Pranayam and Mudra. It helped me a lot. I eat nuts, fruits, vegetables and cereals. I am tetolaer too. Avoid doing Yoga during periods
Lucky I wanna do yoga, It sounds found!
Stress definitely!
Thanku! That's good..x
I have PCOS so literally all of the hormones listed are out of wack. I’m on BC to fix the estrogen and testosterone imbalance and it cause me to have this droopy belly shape it doesn’t matter how much weight I lose I still have this stomach. I’m so lost
#9 I had a complete thyroidectomy 12 years ago. Replacement meds and supplements do nothing to help weight loss. I look like I eat doughnuts all day! 😞😖😡 I am now 72 and more active than a lot of younger people...this sucks! Get regular check ups ...

Wow this was educating
I have gained an excess of 40 lbs since getting a relationship. I understand simce we are constantly under stress, this mayne a cause so i started stretching and working out for about a week now. Really, i just wanted to get my body moving. Im hoping one day to ACTUALLY enjoy working out. Lets see what happens
Very informative
PCOS is the worst for females..
No lie about that
Had to laugh, when talking about cortisol it said to sleep 8 hours per night ( I’ve never been able to do that, due to insomnia since I was 2 years old!) and the funniest was spend time with family to relieve stress! More than half of my stress COMES from my family (I LOVE you, kiddos!)!!!
hahahah...exactly..family increases stress
Why insomnia at 2 years old ?
Maybe what you had at 2 years old was sleep apnea due to large tonsils and adenoids ? My niece had it and now she is 4 we just had hers removed last week.

Thanks, Kasey. Same with you. May you be always happy.
I wish I didn't exist, if you're annoyed, then don't read and better yet, leave. If you like it, embrace it. Always remember, you become what you think are. Positive things always bring positive outcomes. Darkness is always defeated by light like what Kasey is giving and so if you want to stay in the dark, stay away from the light.
Good info
Great video
So, eat healthy (no alcohol!), exercise and avoid stress. Well, I knew that!
We all know that but we don't follow.
Love this channel
Emerita natural progesterone creme. No RX... It will help you immeasurably.
Can you control your biological clock to add or reduce the amount of your sleeping time? If so, then how?
BRIGHT SIDE videos have scientific explaination so it is good
Thyroid hormones..Yes!!! I suffered from Hashimoto's thyroiditis 😒😒😒 On levothyroxine but doing gluten, diary, soy free can help you lose weight..
I love the music 🎶 to this.😁
So, life what’s considered a healthy lifestyle. Got it.
Now I know what hormones are making me put on the wait very fast. I have endometriosis and after big operation doctor put me on birthcontrol pills without pause and spiral at The same time. My body is going crazy.. and I eat healthy, but have trouble sleeping though. And crave for red meat..
Brain injury is another way for everything to get out of whack. Progesterone also causes blood clots (not always a good thing to take supplements or medications for) - there are so many things that add weight on. You do the exercise you Can perform. However, Scoliosis/ back trouble patients are Not encouraged to do aerobic exercise. This is where gentle stretching and swimming help.
Thanks for this tid-bit. I was actually looking up any correlation between Strokes & brittle hair/ hormone imbalance, etc.
Really appreciate this.
@Ax. DaEdge - no problem 😉 - you learn, re-learn, and are encouraged to research any questions you have when you are undergoing brain rehab after injury. ( a small clue - when brain damage occurs, you tend to do better and much clearer during mid-morning through early afternoon hours with plenty of rest between first awakening and earlier settling down for sleep at night in between - that’s why my comments seem so “smart” … later in the day, the difference is woah 😏). Seriously, it’s not all bad - it just takes a while longer to get the point across we are trying to make. I can speak to you from my severe TBI experience - however, in brain rehab, the patients weren’t split apart based on injury and how it was received; not only do you have to do that learning of the mechanics of your injury, you have to learn how to separate your feelings also - just like a baby again. It is extremely helpful to be rehabbed in this manner because it helps you realize the seriousness of your injury and how you have to train yourself to keep up your health every way that you can, and are physically able to do without hurting yourself further.
I can also tell you that any type of brain injury affects your hormone balance, immune system, vitamin stores within the body, etc., even the way your brain mechanically operates. I wouldn’t be surprised at all of your theory on brittle bones and strokes; research the “Bigs” (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Mayo, etc. & all of the medical establishments you respect to dig a little deeper until you get your answer - I am confident you already know that though)
The more time I spend with family & friends the more stressed I get now what?
These things I actually want to know
Love ❤️ this
how about Extra facial hair growth due to harmonal imbalance. could you put some light upon this.
Sounds like PCOS
These are very useful and correct based from my trainings on nutrition and weight management as a coach then. Thanks for summing them up.

Very good video
Had ovarian cancer. Had a hysterectomy. My body has changed, and I gained 5 pounds. I think it is my estrogen progesterone
levels and some stress that is messing me up. I am working so hard to lose it but NOTHING works. :(
It’s only five pounds! You beat ovarian cancer!
Enjoy your second chance!
Yes
