As you age, hormone changes can make it difficult to lose weight, even when you’re doing everything right. But you have the power to change it with EvexiPEL.
How Hormone Levels Change As You Age
Hormones affect your metabolism, your energy, and even how motivated you feel. If you’ve been dieting and exercising without results, the root cause might not be willpower—it could be your hormone levels.
Hormone levels in women typically decline, starting around the late 30s to early 40s. The levels continue to lower until after menopause (no menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.) At that point, you may have as little as 10% (or potentially even less) of the hormones you had as a younger adult.
Unfortunately, hormone depletion can take a huge toll on the female body.
Why Hormones Affect Your Weight
Hormone levels and weight are closely intertwined. As estrogen levels drop, it can make it harder to lose weight because it:
- Slows down metabolism, reducing calorie burn
- Increases fat storage, especially in the abdomen
- Triggers cravings and increased appetite
- Reduces muscle mass, lowering resting energy use
- Disrupts insulin sensitivity, making blood sugar harder to manage
- Affects sleep quality, which influences hunger hormones
Estrogen loss has the biggest impact on the body, so that’s what we aim to correct with EvexiPEL bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Because we employ a whole-person, integrative health approach, our team also considers other factors that may contribute to weight gain and helps you address those issues.
