Weight loss is achievable when you have an understanding of what's happening to your hormones. Nikki reveals how certain hormones can lead to weight gain, no matter how healthy you eat, cut calories or exercise.

Uncover lifesaving secrets to melt pounds and make exercise an effortless pleasure!

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• Four hormonal imbalances that are creating resistance with your weight loss journey:

1. Cortisol — As stress affects us emotionally, certain hormones are released that affect our ability to lose weight.
2. Estrogen Dominance — The imbalance of estrogen and progesterone can affect your body's fat loss ability
3. Thyroid hormones — They can greatly affect your metabolism and your ability to lose weight
4. Insulin — Our body's utilization of carbohydrates, sugars and glucose is influenced by insulin, which determines whether you store fat or burn it.

Memorable Quotes:

"Hormones are going to not only influence your body composition, but they can influence so many other aspects about how you're feeling day to day."

"Cortisol is necessary… But when it stays elevated for a prolonged period of time, it can be problematic, and it can also affect not only your ability to lose weight, but it can also contribute to you actually storing more body fat."

"Working with your metabolism through the process of losing that weight is extremely important for the maintenance of that weight loss long term."
