The document discusses 5 hormonal blocks that can cause weight loss resistance. It describes how fixing these blocks helped the author lose 34 pounds in under 90 days. It introduces Dr. Eric Wood, an expert in hormones who showed the author the hormonal blocks: blocks affecting millions that lead to feeling unable to lose weight. Dr. Wood also showed her how to fix the blocks.

1. 5 HARMONAL FIXES
THAT HELPS YOU TO LOSE
YOUR BELLY FAT
e 5
Hormonal Blocks that make it impossible to lose weight…

2. Plus, the 30 Second Fix that unclogged my hormones and
had me dropping pound-after-pound in under a week.
My husband John and I never used to fight…
But ever since I realized that virtually all of my weight problems
were due to my hormones…
And lost 34lbs in just under 90 days..
He’s constantly complaining that I shop too much.
He’s not wrong…
But literally NONE of my clothes fit me anymore…
So what am I supposed to do?
Should I walk around wearing clothes that fit like a poncho?
Or better yet…
Should I just walk around naked?
My husband might say “yes” to the naked part 😂

3. But seriously…
When you fix your broken hormones (there are 5 total btw)…
And drop the pounds as fast as I have…
You pretty much need to update your entire wardrobe.
And besides, it’s not like I’m buying a bunch of designer clothes
anyways…
I mean sure, a few times…
But that’s only because it’s just so fun going into those fancy
boutiques…

4. The same ones that I used to avoid like the plague, because their
clothes weren’t made for people like “me”…
Trying on outfit-after-outfit…
And every single one seems to mold perfectly to my newfound,
slim physique.
It’s a total confidence rush…
So of course I’m going to do that sometimes…
But that’s besides the point…
Because I try on way more stuff from those stores than I
actually buy…
And most of the new clothing I’m getting is coming from
Goodwill and is very cheap…

5. So seriously, what’s my husband’s deal!
Hi I’m Sam by the way…
And I’ve got to be honest…
It’s hilarious to me that my husband I are even having these
arguments.
Just a few short months ago…
It never would have happened…
Because at that point, I’d been overweight for over a decade…
Anywhere between 30lbs to 50lbs too heavy on average…
And I had a whole section of my closet filled with outfits from
my early twenties...
That I was pretty sure I was never going to be able to wear
again.
It seemed like “skinny Sam” was just some dusty relic of my
past…
Not a person I could be in my early forties, like I am today…
And this probably would have been true…

7. Dr. Eric J. Wood. N.D., M.A. NPI 1164677076
If it wasn’t for the help of one of the nation’s top hormone
experts…
A man named Dr. Eric J. Wood.
Dr. Wood showed me that the real reason I could never lose
weight…
And the real reason why fat seemed to be continuously
migrating to my belly and my thighs…
Had nothing to do with my eating habits…
Or even how much time I spent in the gym…
But with 5 Hormonal Blocks…
Blocks that are affecting millions of women, and men, right
now…
And leading to something called “weight loss resistance”…
Where it can feel impossible to drop even a single pound.

8. Discovering these 5
Hormonal Blocks
changed my life…
Especially once Dr. Wood showed me how to fix each of these
blocks…
And because I’m sure you’re asking…
YES!
Of course I’m going to share all 5 hormonal blocks with you
inside this letter…
Plus, I’m going to show you how to fix them too…
Which is something that I normally charges people over $1,000
for…
So let’s keep this between us ;)

9. Once I fixed these 5
Hormonal Blocks,
I lost 34lbs in just under 90
days...
And what’s even better…
Is that the weight has stayed off too…
Even though I didn’t make drastic changes to my diet…
Or have to cut out a whole bunch of my favorite foods.
Now I know what you’re thinking too…
RED FLAG ALERT
“She’s saying I can lose weight without having
to give
up all my favorite snacks, this must be B.S.!”
If that’s what just went through your mind…

10. I totally get it…
Because for decades, I was conditioned to think the same thing
too.
You can’t lose weight without slaving away at the gym and
eating rabbit food right?
That’s what I was always told…
But THAT’S B.S…
And here’s why:
These 5 Hormonal Blocks I’m about to share with you…
They keep your body in fat storage mode all the time…
And they keep your metabolism feeling like it’s stuck in a
puddle of glue.
When that stuff is going on behind the scenes…
It doesn’t just come down to what you are eating..

11. • You could be eating a juicy bacon cheeseburger…
• Or be Keto Karen who acts as if she’s allergic to carbs....
• And the weight still just isn’t coming off.

12. I’ll explain more in just a second…
But first, let me go ahead and share exactly how I came to meet
Dr. Wood in the first place…
Then we’ll jump right into the 5 Hormonal Blocks he showed
me…
And right after…
I’ll give you the simple, at-home-fix he created…
Which is something you can start using today…
And that can finally end your weight loss resistance for good.
So about me.
I used to feel trapped in a
body I didn’t love.
Okay, so as I mentioned my name is Sam.

13. And while today I’m finding any excuse possible to slip on a
bikini and run to the beach…
For most of my adult life…
I felt trapped inside a body I didn’t love.
It started in my late twenties…
At first, I just noticed that I wasn’t losing weight as easily as
before…
And even though I was pretty active and tried to eat healthy…
Each year a little more unwelcomed fat would show up on my
body…
Mostly around my butt, face, arms, and neck…
And because this fat didn’t ever want to leave…

15. I started joking that my fat was like some awful house guest
who overstays their welcome.
I’d later learn that what I was dealing with…
Is something called weight loss resistance…
Which is the term for what happens when your body refuses to
burn fat…
But at the time I just felt frustrated…
And thought maybe this weight gain was my fault…
Or that there was something wrong with me.
So I worked out even
harder, and ate even
cleaner…

16. Yet by the time I hit my mid-thirties…
Things had gone from bad to worst…
Because not only was I starting to gain more fat around my
tummy and my thighs…
Suddenly there was a lot of other weird stuff happening in my
body too.
I started experiencing these waves anxiety that would hit me
out of nowhere…
My energy felt ZAPPED all of the time…
Plus my sleep was getting worse and worse:
I’d wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat…
Or I’d get into bed exhausted…
Then suddenly get these booming adrenaline rushes.
The cherry on top was the brain fog though…
It felt like my brain was shutting off on me…
I had the hardest time focusing at my job…
And even little things…
Like trying to help my children with their homework…
Became very hard because I just couldn’t focus.

17. I started feeling scared…

18. Because what had started as a little weight gain…
Was now me fluctuating between 30lbs and 50lbs overweight
all the time…
And not only did I no longer feel sexy…
Or have any confidence in myself…
But I was worried about the long-term effects of the weight on
my health too.
I thought about my mom…
How she’d gotten bigger and rounder as she got older…
Until she became pretty seriously overweight…
And ended up having a fatal heart attack in her sixties…
Which was far too young.
When my mom died…
I’d promised myself that I wouldn’t ever follow in her
footsteps…

19. Yet here I was…
The weight piling on…
My blood sugar becoming more erratic…
My energy levels at an all-time low…
And I just didn’t know what to do.
As all of this was going on…
I’d tried countless diets…
Yet those certainly didn’t seem to be working.
The most recent failure had
been Keto…

20. Which had started off so promising (I’d lost almost 3lbs in the
first two weeks!)…
But then ended in disappointment…
As I quickly plateaued…

21. Became fatigued and moody 24/7..
Then gained back all the weight back…
Plus a little extra for good measure.
I’d later discover that the reason Keto didn’t work for me…
And this is the same reason it doesn’t work for a lot of women…
Has to do with those 5 Hormonal Blocks we’re going to talk
about in a second…
But at the time…
I just felt frustrated and depressed…
Like I wanted to crawl into my bed and never come out.
It was like…
What the hell happened?
I’d gone from being a fun-loving, energized woman…
To someone who felt shocked that her friends had the energy to
go out and do anything at all.
When I had to go out…
Like to a birthday party or a work dinner…
It took me two days to recover…
And it got to a point where I realized that this just wasn’t
normal…
Something had to give.

22. So I did what everyone
does…

23. I started Googling all the stuff I was dealing with (LOL).
And while most of what I found was ridiculous…
I did find one article that caught my eye.
It was an interview with New York Times Bestselling Author Dr.
Sara Gottfried…
And in the interview…
Dr. Gottfried said something that really grabbed my attention…
She said that…
“After digging into the research, I learned that 99 percent of
weight loss resistance is hormonal” she said…

24. And then later she added that…
“It amazes me how easy weight loss becomes once hormones
are back in their sweet spots.”
Now this really made the hair on my neck stand tall…
Because, like any woman who is honest…
I’d blamed my hormones for stuff before…
But I’d never really thought that they could be the reason why I
was having so much trouble losing weight.
So I made an appointment
with my doctor…
And during the visit, I asked him to test my hormones.
I was expecting him to say “sure Sam, whatever you want!”…
So I felt CRUSHED when instead of doing that…
He let out this arrogant little smirk…
Then literally rolled his eyes!

25. My dear old doctor told me that hormone testing is expensive
and unnecessary…
Then he proceeded repeat the same tired advice he’d been
giving me for nearly two decades:
“If you want to lose weight, you just need to burn more calories
than you put in.”
My doctor said it was all simple math…
Then he asked me if I belonged to a gym…
And by the time he was done talking…

26. Oh my God. I wanted to
explode…

27. My face must have been beet-red as I walked out of his office…
It was so humiliating and embarrassing how he lectured me…
He was always just assuming that everything was MY fault…
And yet when I - the patient - asked him to do a hormone test…
He pretty much said “NOPE”…
And that really ticked me off.
“I’m done with him” I thought…
And I wasn’t lying…
I haven’t been back to that doc since.

28. But even though I got the
thrill of
dumping my doc that day…
I still felt lost…
And I needed help.
I wasn’t sure where to turn…
I did look for other doctors in my town…
But I was scared they’d just have the same reaction my doctor
did…
And I was afraid to go through that humiliation and
embarrassment again.
So I thought about just giving up…
Just “letting go” and accepting that I’d never feel normal again…
And that might have been where the story ended…
If I hadn’t gotten a call from an old friend.
It was a Thursday night and I was standing exhaustedly in the
kitchen…
When my cell rang.

29. It was my girlfriend Jen…

30. She’d been overseas with her husband for the past year…
But now she was back in the U.S. and she was calling to say hi.
So at first we just chit-chatted and caught up…
But then, as we were talking…
I remembered something important.
Jen had struggled with estrogen problems a while back…
But then she’d seen some hormone expert that she’d really
liked…
And I remembered how she’d felt a lot better after…
Plus she’d lost a ton of weight too.
I’d always assumed that Jen just did estrogen replacement
therapy or something like that…

31. But when I asked her during our conversation…
She let out this huge, belly-splitting laugh…
Then said that I had it all wrong.
“No way!” Jenn told me.
“Estrogen therapy is expensive and scary as heck.
Seriously you don’t even want to know about the side effects.
I did fix my estrogen, but it was entirely natural.
And it just wasn’t just my estrogen either…
It was all my hormones.
And really I owe it all to Dr. Wood...
He’s the hormone expert I saw…
Seriously the guy’s the best.”
Well that was all I needed to hear…
I got Dr. Wood’s
information from Jen…

32. And three days later…
I was sitting in his office…
Trying hard not to show my nervousness or excitement.
It was pretty crazy though…
We’d barely even shook hands…
But Dr. Wood was already describing everything I’d been
dealing with in amazing detail…
The weight loss resistance, the exhaustion, the brain fog, the
anxiety…
It was like he’d been living inside my head this whole time.
Seriously, he knew EVERYTHING…
And when I asked him how this was possible…
He said it was because even though we’re always being told that
weight loss is some mysterious black-box…
That’s simply not the case…
“The vast majority of our
weight challenges
are hormonal…

33. And they almost always
come down to
5 Hormonal Blocks”…
That’s what he said…
And he told me that these 5 Hormonal blocks can all happen in
our body simultaneously…
Resulting in a sluggish metabolism…
Cells that are pumped full of fat…
And brains, moods, and emotions entirely out of whack.
Then Dr. Wood proceeded
to share
what these 5 Hormonal
Blocks Are…
And I’m going to share them with you right now too…
So make sure you pay close attention…
Because this is going to remove so much confusion from your
life…
And it will finally make sense why you haven’t been able to lose
your excess weight.
The first hormonal block
Dr. Wood told

34. me about has to do with
your Thyroid.
You’ve probably heard of your thyroid before…
It’s a small, tiny gland located in the front of your neck…
And your thyroid’s role is to take iodine, which is found in a
variety of foods…
And convert it into two thyroid hormones…
Which are known as T3 and T4.
These thyroid hormones are then released into the
bloodstream…
Where they control your metabolism.
When your metabolism is functioning normally…
It turns calories and fat into energy…
Then sends this energy to your cells…
Where it’s used to perform all kinds of essential functions that
keep you healthy.

36. But when your thyroid hormones are NOT functioning
properly…
It means that your metabolism doesn’t function properly
either…
And instead of burning calories like it should…

37. Your metabolism stores those calories as fat.
This is why, if you have issues with your thyroid hormones…
You can starve yourself and workout all day…
But you’re STILL going to encounter weight loss resistance and
feel frustrated…
Because even though you’re doing activities that normally
WOULD burn calories…
When your thyroid hormones are out of whack…
They tell your metabolism to keep storing those calories as fat.
This can leave you feeling exhausted, by the way…
Because over the course of the day…
You’re doing all of these things that require energy…
Yet your body isn’t releasing that energy…
It’s holding onto it…
And if you frequently suffer from brain fog…
Your thyroid hormones could be to blame for that as well…
Because your brain uses up a lot of energy…
But if your metabolism is broken and there’s no energy
available…
Your brain is starved of fuel.
Pretty crazy, right?
And your thyroid is just one of FIVE different hormonal blocks
you may be facing…
Imagine what it would be like to fix all 5 hormonal blocks at
once?
It could seriously be like the difference between being blind…
And having perfect 20/20 vision…
The difference is that dramatic.

39. The second hormonal block
that Dr. Wood
told me about has to do
with Cortisol
You have two adrenal glands that sit above your kidneys…
And they produce a hormone called cortisol…
Which is often referred to as a “stress hormone”…
Because it’s released when you experience stress.
Cortisol is very important to your survival…
But when your cortisol levels are always high…
Which can happen due to everyday stressors like:
• A demanding job
• Arguments on social media

40. • A rocky relationship
• Sitting in bad traffic
• A challenging child
• Plus anything else…
Your brain thinks you’re in survival mode…
So it shuts down your metabolism…
Your digestion…
And even parts of your brain.
Why does it do this?
Because even though your stress might be due to something
“harmless”…
Like your boss nonstop texting on a weekend…
Your brain can’t differentiate between “harmless” stress…
And a real threat…
So it takes energy from anywhere in the body that it views as
“non-essential”…

41. Which includes your metabolism, your digestive system, and
even parts of your brain…
And sends this energy to places like your muscles and your
heart…
Which your brain considers essential to your survival.
Think of it like this:
• If you need to fight, your muscles better work…
• And if you need to run for your life, your heart better be able to
pump blood…
But you know what’s NOT essential to fighting or running
away?
• Your metabolism raging and burning fat…
• Your digestion operating smoothly so you don’t experience
irregular bowel movements…
• Or your brain being able to solve math equations or complex
problems.
So the fact that those places get robbed of energy makes sense…
In fact, it’s actually smart of your brain to do this.
The problem though…
Is that if your stress isn’t coming from a real threat…
But from your 24/7 job…
Or family commitments…
Then your metabolism, digestion, and brain always remain
robbed of energy…
It’s impossible to burn fat…
And you constantly feel like your brain is in a fog.
Pretty crazy, right?
And we’ve still got three more hormonal blocks left…
So let’s keep things going.
The third hormonal block
Dr. Wood told

42. me about has to do
with Estrogen.
Estrogen is what’s referred to as a “sex hormone”…
And when estrogen levels are too high, or too low…
And aren't in balance with progesterone...
Which is another important female reproductive hormone….
It can very easily lead to weight loss resistance.
One of the tell-tale signs of erratic estrogen levels…
Is that you’ll notice more fat getting stored in your belly and
hips…
And you’ll notice that this fat is visceral and clingy…
To the point where it feels like it’s impossible to get rid of it…
No matter how much dieting or exercising you do.

43. For many women…
Erratic estrogen problems start in their mid-thirties…
Then continue before, during, and after menopause.
The reason why…
Is because as a woman exits her prime reproductive years…
Which normally happens between the ages of 30 and 35…
The balance between estrogen and progesterone can grow
increasingly out of whack…
And her estrogen levels will start to peak…
While her progesterone levels begin to free-fall.
And as women enter their 40s…
This imbalance between estrogen and progesterone only
becomes worse..
Which can negatively affect your thyroid hormones …
And lead to you putting on more and more pounds of fat.

44. It’s for this reason that so many women are being pushed
towards hormone therapies once they enter their 40s and 50s…
But wouldn’t it be better if you could just keep estrogen levels
balanced naturally…
Without continuously packing on more pounds of fresh belly
fat?
Well the good news…
Is that this is absolutely possible.
I’ll show you exactly how to do it…
Plus give you four more proven hormonal fixes…
In just a few moments.
The 4th Hormonal Block Dr.
Wood told
me about has to do
with Insulin.

45. Insulin is a hormone that’s produced in your pancreas…
And you’ve almost certainly heard of insulin before…
Especially in in relation to diabetes.
The thing is though…
You don’t need to be a diabetic to have insulin challenges…
Because as world renowned health expert
Dr. Mark Hyman puts it:
“No contest: The monster hormone that causes weight gain is
excess insulin.”
Well with respect to Dr. Hyman…
There is a contest…
And it’s happening between all five of the hormones we’re
talking about today.
But while Dr. Hyman may be oversimplifying things a little bit
here…
There’s also a lot of truth to what he’s saying...
Because high insulin levels definitely are one of the major
reasons behind your weight loss resistance.

46. Insulin helps your body convert the carbohydrates you eat into
sugar (glucose)…
And then tells your body to store this sugar as glycogen in your
muscles.
The problem though is that your muscles can only store a small
amount of glycogen at any given time…
And once your muscles’ about to store glycogen is maxed it…
Your body has no choice but to store additional glycogen as fat.
Obviously, that’s not good if you’re trying to lose weight…
And it’s especially brutal when you combine high insulin…
With the other hormonal blocks we’ve looked at so far.
Think about it…
• Insulin and estrogen are BOTH telling your body to store
more fat…
• While your thyroid hormones and cortisol are BOTH telling
your body not to burn fat.
So is it any wonder that you’ve been struggling to lose weight?

47. And all of this is before we add in the the last hormonal block
too…
Which we’re going to go over right now.
The fifth hormonal block
Dr. Wood told me
about has to do with Leptin.
Leptin’s job is to tell your brain when you’ve had enough to eat.
This is why Leptin is often referred to as your “fullness
hormone”…
Because when Leptin is functioning normally…
You feel satisfied after each meal…
You don’t overeat…
And you don’t suffer from those gnawing cravings that can
strike out of nowhere.
That’s how Leptin is supposed to function…

49. But when you start putting on excess weight…
And you can’t burn fat no matter how hard you try…
(Which both happen due to the other four hormonal blocks
we’ve covered today)…
Your fat cells start producing more-and-more leptin…
And your brain becomes bombarded with leptin signals non-
stop…
Until it starts to ignore these signals entirely.
This is called leptin-resistance…
And as your brain becomes increasingly resistant to leptin…
You can guess what happens:

50. • You stop feeling full…
• You start overeating the wrong foods…
• You get almost addict-like-cravings for salty, sweet, or crispy
junk foods…
And it results in you putting on even MORE weight…
Which in turn makes your leptin resistance even worse…
Until ultimately…
You spend very day feeling hungry, angry, and depressed…
Because it seems like you can’t stop overeating no matter how
hard you try…
And you feel MAD at yourself…
Because you can’t understand why don’t have any self-control.
If that’s you right now…
Trust me, I get it.
That’s where I was at too…
And I’ve had all of those same thoughts….
Which is why I was so surprised when…

51. Dr. Wood looked me in the
eyes and told me
something I’ll never forget…

52. Something I’m going to repeat to you right now:
It’s really, truly, not your fault.
None of this is.
Your weight struggles aren’t due to a lack of willpower…
It’s not because you don’t “want to be skinny” bad enough…
The weight gain that’s been accelerating…
The increased weight loss resistance…
Those things aren’t being caused by you…
They’re being caused by your hormones…
And particularly those 5 hormonal blocks we’ve been going
over today.

53. Think about it like this...
What good is two hours on the treadmill…
Or going Keto…
If your metabolism refuses to burn fat for energy?
And what good are drugs that target your thyroid…
Or risky estrogen therapies…
When each of those things only targets one specific hormonal
block…
Out of a total of 5?
So you see…
You’ve Been Set Up!
You’ve been BLAMED for your weight loss resistance by the
folks in the diet industry…

54. You’ve been NAMED as lazy by workout-addicts in the fitness
industry…
And you’ve been SHAMED for your anxiety and exhaustion by
pill-pushing health professionals…
When the truth is…
The vast majority of the time…
• Your inability to lose weight…
• Your low-energy…
• Your poor nights of sleep…
• Your brain fog…
• Your mood swings…
• And so much else...
They are all caused by something that’s out of your control…
The 5 Hormonal Blocks we’ve been looking at today.
So I want you to make a promise to yourself right now…
That you’re going to STOP thinking any of this is your fault…
And START feeling confident again…
Because the truth is:
You can win this fight against weight loss resistance and excess
body fat…
And I’m going to show you exactly how to do it…
Right now.
You see, as Dr. Wood explained…
Even though these 5 hormonal blocks can come out of
nowhere…
And can stick around for years, or even decades…
It doesn’t have to be this way.

55. In fact…
Addressing all five of these
hormonal blocks
can actually be very
simple…
You just need to take proven scientific research…
Research that too many in mainstream wellness are ignoring…
Apply it to each of the hormonal blocks you’re facing
simultaneously…
And once you do this…

56. You’ll find it’s shockingly easy to optimize hormonal health…
While reducing the biggest blocks to your weight loss…
All in one fell swoop.
So let’s go ahead and rifle through each of the hormonal fixes
that Dr. Wood showed me…
Then after we’re done…
I’ll share the easy trick Dr. Wood showed me…
Something that made it simple to apply all 5 of these fixes at
once…
And I’ve got to say that once started using this trick…
It was like the floodgates burst wide open…
And the fat just came pouring off.
Sound good?
Okay then here we go:
Hormonal Fix #1:
YOUR THYROID
As you’ll remember…
When your thyroid isn’t producing enough of its two main
hormones – T3 and T4…
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…

57. Is to get more iodine into your diet…

58. 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].

59. In another major study that was published in the journal
Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology…
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.iii
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…iv
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.v
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:

60. 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…
And if you’re a busy parent…
Have a thriving career…
Or really just live in the U.S. in the year 2019…

61. 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.

62. 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…vii viii ix x xi
It’s no wonder Rhodiola was used extensively for years by the
Russian Olympic medical training team to help their athletes
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 fatxii
Reduce the content of bad, fatty acids in the bloodstreamxiii
And reduce the build-up of visceral white fatxiv
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…xv xvi xvii xviii
Plus a major 2017 study recently found that taking red
ginseng “can exert an anti-obesity effect in humans”…xix
Which is a finding that’s backed up by another 2014 human
study…
Where researchers found Red Ginseng to exert a “weight loss
effect.”xx

63. 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
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).

64. 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.xxi
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”…
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.xxii
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.xxiii
Alright so let’s keep things rolling…
By turning our attention to:

65. Hormonal Fix #4:
INSULIN
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.

67. 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….
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.xxiv
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.xxv

68. Those are just two of numerous double-blind, randomized, and
placebo-controlled trials on cinnamon…xxvi xxvii xxviii
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…xxix
In another 2017 study, this one published in Scientific Reports…
It was found that cinnamon supplementation increased fat
burning and reduced fat tissue dramaticallyxxx…
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.xxxi
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.
