What if the reason your GLP-1s aren't working the way you hoped… is because your hormones are tanked?
A lot of women assume weight loss resistance automatically means they need a higher dose, stricter dieting, or more restriction. But sometimes the missing piece is hormonal health.
A 2024 study showed that women using hormone therapy alongside GLP-1 medications lost more weight compared to women using GLP-1s alone.
Why? Because hormones impact everything: metabolism, insulin sensitivity, muscle maintenance, energy production, appetite regulation, fat storage.
If your hormones are severely imbalanced, your body may still be fighting against you — even with the help of a GLP-1.
That's why at Elevate Health, we look deeper than just the number on the scale.
