Suffering from a hormone imbalance or lower-than-normal hormone levels can lead to weight gain as the hormones play a significant role in signaling how your body uses and stores food. Weight gain can be tied to hormone imbalances because they can cause more food to be stored as fat in the body, rather than used for energy. Changes in estrogen levels can quickly lead to weight gain in women, regardless of if the levels of estrogen are considered very high or very low. Testosterone is necessary for men to maintain muscle mass and boost their metabolism, so lower levels of testosterone can lead to weight gain as well. Since hormonal imbalances can lead to weight gain in several ways, undergoing hormone replacement therapy can help to reverse those effects, allowing patients to lose that weight that they had gained. Pellet hormone therapy is one of the more effective options, providing results much quicker as the pellets are implanted directly into the body, allowing for benefits such as weight loss to occur fairly quickly once the therapy has commenced.
