  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • f greater than 10, it demonstrates there is a degree of leptin resistance contributing to an inability to lose weight
  • that it is difficult to lose weight with leptin resistance. High carbohydrate diets and in particular high-fructose corn syrup is shown to significantly increase leptin resistance and is a likely mechanism that high fructose corn syrup is associated with obesity

  • inactive thyroid hormone called thyroxine
  • it is problem inside the cell that the inactive T4 is not converted to T3 but rather to a mirror image of T3 called reverse T3. The reverse T3 has the opposite effect of T3, blocking the effects of T3 and lowering rather than increasing metabolism.
  • Studies are showing that stress and dieting (especially yo-yo dieting) can set this hormone into action as well as chronic illness such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
  • As soon as the body senses a reduction in calories, the production of reverse T3 is stimulated to lower metabolism
  • With chronic dieting or stress, the body often stays in this "starvation mode" with elevated levels of reverse T3 and decreased levels of T3, which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • Studies are showing that such standard testing will miss 80% of thyroid dysfunction
  • ree T3/reverse T3 ratio

    TSH is not a reliable reproducible reflection of tissue T3 levels. In fact, in many ways TSH is merely just a screening tool. Research has shown that inflammation decreases TSH levels.
