The 5 hormonal fix that make it impossible to lose weight and live healthy

2. “The vast majority of our
weight challenges
are hormonal…
And they almost always
come down to
5 Hormonal Blocks”
Hormonal Fix #1:
YOUR THYROID
As you’ll remember…
When your thyroid isn’t producing enough of its two main
hormones – T3 and T4…

3. Then these hormones can’t regulate your metabolism like they
should…
And fat storage, brain fog, and fatigue can all occur.
So what’s the fix here?
Well as Dr. Wood explained…
You simply need to get your thyroid gland to produce more T3 and
T4 hormones…
Then make sure these hormones get released into your
bloodstream…
That way they’re able to control your metabolism…
And the fastest way to produce more T3 and T4 hormones…
Is to get more iodine into your diet…
Because as I mentioned earlier…
Your thyroid’s #1 function is to take iodine, then convert it to T3
and T4.
It sounds simple…
But a recent study found that at least 2 Billion people are deficient
in iodine …
And if your thyroid’s not getting enough iodine…
Then how can it make enough of the T3 and T4 hormones needed
to control your metabolism?
It can’t…
Which is why Dr. Wood recommends supplementing your diet with
iodine-rich kelp.
In a major double-blind clinical trial published in the American
College of Endocrinology…
It was found that “short-term dietary supplementation with kelp
significantly increases both basal and poststimulation TSH [thyroid
hormones].
In another major study that was published in the journal Clinical
Pediatric Endocrinology…

4. Researchers found that when human subjects were given a daily
supplement of kelp…
It “restored their thyroid function and normalized their UICs
[urinary iodine concentration].”ii
And in yet another large study that was published in the journal
Clinical Endocrinology out of Oxford…
Researchers found that supplementing with just a moderate dose of
iodine rich kelp extract improved the production of both T3 and T4.
Dr. Wood also recommends adding more Copper, Iron, Zinc,
Magnesium, and Selenium to your diet as well…
Because these essential minerals help transport T3 and T4 into your
bloodstream…
Where they power your metabolism and your cells.
For example, a 2016 study in the Journal of Environmental Health
found that supplementing with these minerals led to higher levels of
T3 and T4 in the bloodstream…
While in a 2014 study published in the journal Biological Trace
Elements Research…
It was found that thyroid-stimulating hormones were raised
significantly in test subjects who were given a supplementary
dosage of Copper, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc.
So this takes care of the hormonal block that’s happening in your
thyroid…
But we’ve still got four more places we need to get unstuck…
So let’s keep going and turn our attention to:

5. Hormonal Fix #2:
EXCESS CORTISOL
As a quick reminder…
Ongoing stress can lead to an overproduction of a hormone called
cortisol…
And when cortisol levels remain high…
It can lead to a weakened metabolism, immune system, and even
brain.
So when it comes to addressing this hormonal block…
The one and only goal is to naturally lower cortisol levels.
One way to do that is to never become stressed…
But that’s a lot easier said than done…

6. And if you’re a busy parent…
Have a thriving career…
Or really just live in the U.S. in the year 2019…
Eliminating stress from your life completely just isn’t very realistic.
This is why Dr. Wood recommends supplementing your diet with
Rhodiola Rosea…
Which has been proven in numerous clinical trials to:
 Reduce stress
 Support normal cortisol production
 And help the body burn fat.
Rhodiola is a flowering plant that grows in the remote regions of
the Arctic...
And in a major randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled
study published in the Journal Planta Medica…
When researchers gave test subjects either 576 mg of Rhodiola
extract, or a placebo, for 28 days.
They found that while the placebo group showed zero
improvements…
The Rhodiola group had produced significantly less excess
cortisol…
Even when they were presented with stressful situations…
Plus they also showed less fatigue and better mental performance as
well.vi
Numerous double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trials
have also found Rhodiola to…
Reduce stress, improve mental performance, and decrease fatigue…
It’s no wonder Rhodiola was used extensively for years by the
Russian Olympic medical training team to help their athletes

7. optimize their performance and recoup faster from grueling training
sessions.
But most excitingly of all…
New research in both humans and animals is finding that
supplementing with Rhodiola can:
Significantly increase the rate at which our bodies burn fat
Reduce the content of bad, fatty acids in the bloodstream
And reduce the build-up of visceral white fat
In addition to Rhodiola…
Dr. Wood also recommends adding Red Ginseng to your diet too…
Because numerous studies have found that this root extract
decreases cortisol levels and reduce stress…
Plus a major 2017 study recently found that taking red ginseng “can
exert an anti-obesity effect in humans”…
Which is a finding that’s backed up by another 2014 human
study…
Where researchers found Red Ginseng to exert a “weight loss
effect.”
Honestly both Rhodiola and Ginseng are such exciting ingredients
that I could go on and on about them…
But we still have three more hormonal fixes to get to…
So let’s keep trucking along.
Hormonal Fix #3:
ESTROGEN

8. As you’ll recall, having erratic estrogen levels can lead to weight
gain.
That’s why Dr. Wood told me that I should consider supplementing
my diet with diindolylmethane (or DIM for short).
DIM is a natural compound that’s found in broccoli, cauliflower,
and other vegetables…
And a 2017 study published in the journal Tumor Immunology and
Immunotherapy…
Which was the largest human study on the effects of DIM on
human ever undertaken…
A team of 8 leading scientists found that DIM led to a “favorable
shift in estrogen metabolism”…
And concluded that this research led them to support the use of
DIM as a dietary supplement.
Meanwhile, in another human study, this one published in the
journal Thyroid…
It was found that when patients received a DIM supplement for just
14 days…
DIM “modulated estrogen metabolism”…

9. Which really means that it shifts how estrogen is broken down in
the liver into “healthier hormonal metabolites” that are linked with
lower risk of various cancers and estrogen/progesterone imbalance
symptoms such as difficult or irregular periods, fibroids, fibrocystic
breast disease and more…
Instead of either too high, or too low…
Which is when fat accumulation is most likely to occur.
Plus, in a 2017 study published in the journal of Molecular
Nutrition and Food Research…
When an international team of researchers from Purdue University
and Seoul, South Korea looked at the effects of DIM…
They found that it “suppresses high-fat diet-induced obesity”…
Which led them to conclude that DIM has the potential to help
protect against ongoing weight gain.
Alright so let’s keep things rolling…
By turning our attention to:
Hormonal Fix #4:
INSULIN

10. When your insulin levels are continuously elevated…
It can lead to your body storing more and more of the nutrients you
eat as fat…
Which is one of the many reasons we want to keep our insulin
levels in a normal, healthy range.
The good news here is that is absolutely achievable…
And there are a few approaches you can take.
One approach is to reduce the amount of carbs, processed foods,
and refined sugars that you eat…
Since those are three things that can spike your insulin levels.
Dr. Wood absolutely recommends cutting back on those things as
much as possible....
But HE/SHE also believes that supplementing your diet with a
cinnamon extract is something you should consider…
And the reason why…
Is because cinnamon is one of the best studied and scientifically
supported ingredients out there….

11. When it comes to supporting healthy insulin levels.
In a 2015 study published in the Journal of Traditional and
Complementary Medicine…
Which was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled…
Researchers gave 173 adults either 500 mg of cinnamon extract, or
a placebo, for two months…
And at the end of this 180 day period…
The placebo group showed no significant changes…
While the cinnamon group showed reduced insulin levels, lower
cholesterol levels, and less erratic blood sugar…
Plus those who took the cinnamon supplement also showed a
reduction in their Body Mass Index, or BMI.
Additionally, in a 2018 study, published in the journal Phytotherapy
Research…
Which was also randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-
blind…
Researchers worked with 66 women who had erratic insulin AND
estrogen….
And gave half of them a cinnamon supplement, and half a placebo.
The researchers found that at the end of 12 weeks…
“Supplementation of cinnamon significantly reduced fasting
insulin” when compared to the placebo…
Plus it also helped to support healthy estrogen levels too.
Those are just two of numerous double-blind, randomized, and
placebo-controlled trials on cinnamon…
And when it comes to cinnamon and weight loss specifically…
You should know that:
In a 2017 randomized, double-blind, and placebo controlled trial of
116 overweight individuals
It was found that taking a cinnamon supplement led to a significant
decrease in waist circumference…
In another 2017 study, this one published in Scientific Reports…

12. It was found that cinnamon supplementation increased fat burning
and reduced fat tissue dramatically
While in a major 2019 review published in Clinical Nutrition
looked at 12 trials on cinnamon that included 786 human subjects…
A team of 6 scientists found that regular cinnamon supplementation
led to decreased body weight, decreased BMI, decreased waist
circumference, and decreased fat mass in adults.
Pretty awesome, right?
And really these results do make sense…
Because insulin and weight loss resistance go hand in hand...
And cinnamon is proven to directly help support healthy insulin
levels.
Alright, so we’ve only got one more hormone to look at now…
And if you’ve missed any of the ingredients I mentioned so far
don’t worry…
Because after we get through this last hormonal fix…
I’m going to repeat the entire list of ingredients for you.
Hormonal Fix #5:
LEPTIN

13. As you’ll remember…
Leptin is your “fullness hormone”…
And when you start putting on weight…
Which can happen as a result of the four other hormonal blocks
we’ve discussed…
Your body begins to overproduce Leptin.
You’d think that would be a good thing…
Since Leptin makes you “full”
But when we produce too much leptin…
Our brain starts to ignore leptin’s message…

14. So instead of feeling fuller…
We feel increasingly hungry and crave the wrong kind of foods.
Well fortunately…
Dr. Wood let me know that getting Leptin under control is easy to
do…
It just takes adding a single ingredient to your diet…
And that’s African Mango.
In a major randomized and placebo-controlled trial published in the
journal of Lipids…
Researchers found that supplementing with African Mango for just
4 weeks improved body weight, body fat, and waist
circumference…
And also led to “significant improvements in leptin levels when
compared with the placebo group.
Meanwhile, a 2011 study from Drexel University found that
African Mango:
“Is effective in reducing body weight and improving metabolic
parameters in overweight
humans”…
Plus research published in the Journal of Obesity concluded that:
Leptin levels decrease in patients given African Mango
And in recent review of three randomized trials that included 208
participants…
Researchers found that the average weight loss when supplementing
with African Mango…
Was a staggering 26lbs…
Compared to just 1.5lbs for the placebo groups
