Are you having trouble losing weight? This is one of the most bothersome and common health issues patients have. During this episode, we explore various possible reasons why this could be happening to you. The valuable insights shared here will, at the very least, help point you in the right direction.

First and foremost, there is no such thing as a "perfect" diet. That said, people tend to eat the same foods with consistency—something that can actually contribute to food sensitivities. If you're stuck and you can't lose weight, you might consider changing your diet and exercise routine.

When it comes to exercise, there is such a thing as too much—even if your goal is weight loss. Not only that, but the type of exercise you're doing matters too. A functional doctor can help provide you with feedback on your specific routine. Don't get trapped trying the same thing over and over again if it's not working.

If you suffer from inflammation and it's not being addressed, this could be the culprit to your struggle with weight loss. The solution is figuring out the cause of inflammation in your body, fixing it, and promoting the body's natural healing processes. Getting to the bottom of your issue may involve measuring levels of insulin and cortisol, which are two hormones that play major roles in weight loss.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is another reason some people have difficulty losing weight. When mitochondrial damage occurs, it can trigger an inflammatory response. This leads to stress on various body systems and tissues which disrupts receptor function that is essential for your body's ability to lose weight. If you want to achieve meaningful weight loss, you have to be willing to dive deep.
