Are you having difficulty losing weight?

This case study walk through shows you an example of a hypothyroid patient who was found to have multiple hormone imbalances that were leading to weight loss resistance.

After treating her multiple hormone imbalances like thyroid resistance, insulin resistance and low testosterone she was finally able to lose almost 40 pounds over 3 months.

This is her story:

By the time she came to see me she was already on natural desiccated thyroid but still having symptoms. Despite that her TSH was still elevated.

She was unable to lose weight, she had lots of fatigue and she was dealing with insomnia. She had tried everything to lose weight including a lap band surgery and was able to lose some weight initially but gained it all back over time.

After evaluating her lab work she was found to have:

1. Hypothyroidism with hashimoto's
2. Insulin resistance
3. Active inflammation with a component of autoimmunity
4. Low testosterone

After undergoing treatment with Victoza, Testosterone, WP thyroid hormone and LDN she was able to lose a significant amount of weight over 3 months.

Victoza is a powerful medication that can help patients who have leptin resistance, PCOS, insulin resistance (even those who are not diabetic) and metabolic damage from recurrent dieting.

Victoza and other GLP-1 agonists work by sensitizing the body to insulin, lowering glucagon levels, sensitizing the body to leptin levels.

Studies have shown patients with PCOS, insulin resistance, and leptin resistance may benefit by using it.

In this video I talk about all of the various patient populations who can benefit from using Victoza and how to use it appropriately for the weight loss that you see in this case study.

Using Victoza by itself generally will NOT lead to significant weight loss, but if used in conjunction with hormones, thyroid, and nutrients it can be very powerful.

I also go over a list of common side effects and how to use Victoza appropriately. Including injection sites and dosages required.
