Why do so many women struggle with weight loss in the postpartum period?

Much of the reason has to do with hormone imbalances that may occur as a result of pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a time of great hormone flux which can exacerbate conditions such as thyroid disease, insulin resistance and estrogen dominance.

Losing weight in the postpartum period is about finding out about these hormone imbalances and then treating them.

This case study, with before and after pictures, will walk you through diet tips, exercise, supplements and hormones that you can take to help with weight loss in the postpartum period.

Hey guys!

I'm Dr. Westin Childs and I focus on thyroid health, hormone balance, and weight loss. I write about thyroid disorders, weight loss, insulin resistance, estrogen/progesterone balance on my blog. I truly believe that hormone balance is the key to managing your weight, your mood and your quality of life which is why I'm so passionate about it.

I take a personalized/functional medicine approach to management of conditions. I'm not accepting patients but you can learn more and get plenty of information on my blog!
