MHT is not for everyone and is not the only option in menopause BUT everyone deserves to have access to accurate information and understand the CONTEXT of where we are in 2024 and why we are still living in the shadows of WHI. We learned a lot of good things from WHI, but sadly there is still widespread misinformation and ignorance to what the data actually showed and how it should be applied to younger women in menopause .

When you try to lose weight through calorie restriction and intense exercise, your body often pushes back—leading to a plateau or even weight regain.

Your hunger hormones rise, which increases hunger and cravings, especially for sweets or high-calorie foods. At the same time, your metabolism slows down (this is called metabolic adaptation), and when you return to regular eating, weight comes back faster. Plus, your fat stores are primed to build right back up when you resume a typical diet.
Sound familiar?

This is why fad diets DO NOT WORK. If they did, we wouldn't see so many struggling with yo-yo dieting or obesity. Many of our patients have tried every diet out there—and most of you reading this can probably relate too.

So, what can you do? How do you work with your body instead of against it to achieve sustainable weight loss?

DM us today to take charge of your health and break free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting for good.

Our innovative framework supports your hormones, brain, and gut—no matter your dietary preferences (with a few mindful exceptions). It’s not about subscribing to one diet but finding the flexibility that works for you.

🧬 Obesity: A Multifaceted Issue Beyond Genetics 🧬

Did you know that obesity isn't just about one gene? 📊 In the 1970s and 80s, researchers searched for a single "obesity gene," but what they found was much more complex. Multiple genetic sequences play a role, but that's just one piece of the puzzle.

Over the past 40-50 years, many other factors have emerged, including:
🔄 Changes in behavior and decreased physical activity
💤 Altered sleep patterns and dietary habits
🦠 Microbiome shifts and physiological changes
💊 Medications with weight-gain side effects
🌎 Environmental influences, like access to calorie-dense foods and chemicals in our food supply

📺 Want to dive deeper? Watch the full replay of Dr. Cruz’s eye-opening webinar on the multiple causes of obesity. https://zurl.co/CHzr
