Hi guys. Listen, I got this question and I just want to answer it uh for those people that want to know like weight loss versus men versus women. Why can men lose more weight than women? Okay, so we’re just going to talk about that for a second. Uh basically, it has to do with just this one hormone right here.

Well, actually two hormones. This hormone and this hormone. Uh women have nine times more estrogen than men. Okay? And men have 16 times more testosterone than women.

Estrogen puts the the fat layer around a female body. It gives the female characteristics. Uh so especially in the lower part of the body, sometimes the arms, breast tissue, um that’s all estrogen. So what happens with testosterone that gives more lean body mass. So you can see where the problem is.

So women do need to spend at least double the effort to get the same results, if not more effort to get to the same results. But there are things you can do to um speed things up, especially if you have too much estrogen in the body, which is called estrogen dominance. I’m going to put a a link down below, but a lot of women have that, especially at menopause. Not because their estrogen is going higher. It’s because their progesterone is going lower and the testosterone is going lower, making the ratio of estrogen higher.

So then you you create estrogen effect. So they start gaining more weight. So um there’s a whole bunch of things you can do about that. And then the adrenal gland also makes estrogen too and progesterone. So the adrenal gland backs up the ovary.

So you can see there’s a whole hormonal, you know, problem with that. Now you also have estrogen dominance affecting the thyroid. So if there’s too much estrogen, it’s going to inhibit the thyroid function. Now the thyroid controls your metabolic rate for every single cell in your body. So you can imagine that not not having that full capacity uh can really slow down your weight loss.

So we want to minimize the deeper cause of a thyroid issue and make sure that you’re not estrogen dominant so you can actually lose weight faster. Okay. Um, you won’t necessarily want to increase your testosterone uh because you’re going to get facial hair and acne and something called polycystic ovarian syndrome. But the other thing that will help you is uh removing even a deeper hormone that is can raise this one as well and that would be you guessed it insulin. Okay.

So, if you can actually really work on that that will also help the situation and speed things up. I’m going to put some links down below for uh some more data, but I just want to make this very short and sweet. Uh it’s really it’s not necessarily your fault. It’s just that these hormones are slowing things down. Okay.
