How HRT Can Help With Weight Loss: The Science Behind It

Rejuvime Medical • September 30, 2024

Alli, a Nurse Practitioner here at Rejuvime, explains how HRT can be beneficial to one’s weight loss journey.

Hey, it’s Alli, one of the nurse practitioners at Rejuvime. I’m here to talk to you today about hormone replacement and how it can affect your weight loss journey. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating our metabolism, fat storage, and appetite. If these hormones are out of balance, it can affect your weight. Here’s how HRT can help. For women, estrogen levels drop significantly during menopause. This can cause issues with weight gain and unwanted fat accumulation around the abdomen. Estrogen therapy can help mitigate these problems leading to more balanced fat distribution, and easier weight management. Next, let’s talk about testosterone. In both men and women, testosterone influences muscle mass and metabolism. Lower levels of testosterone can lead to decreased lean muscle and a slower metabolism, which makes it harder to lose weight. HRT can make weight management more achievable. But remember, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. A holistic approach that includes diet, exercise, and medical guidance will lead to the best results.
