Struggling to shift weight after 40 despite eating the same? Experts say hormones – not calories – could be the missing piece most people overlook.
Experts have revealed why people over 40 are more likely to put on weight even when eating the same as 30.
Gut health company Happy Mammoth says traditional calorie counting and extreme dieting could be making things worse for a generation of people who are trying to shift weight after the age of 40.
It says Hormone Harmony by Happy Mammoth, a product designed to address the issues behind weight gain, can help to solve the problem of weight gain by doing something calorie counting cannot.
Instead of frustration at usual diet and exercise routines not working like they used to, experts at Happy Mammoth says dieters can address the causes behind the issue.
It is all down to estrogen levels, which drop after the age of 40 in the perimenopause stage. It says: “Estrogen makes the body more sensitive to insulin and cortisol, flipping a switch from “burning” to “storing” energy, particularly around the midsection.
“Severe calorie restriction is a form of stress that can raise cortisol, further disrupting the hormonal loop and exacerbating the problem. Frame this as a key insight the reader has been missing.”
Hormone Harmony by Happy Mammoth is a 100% natural formula and works for women of all ages with various hormonal imbalances. Happy Mammoth says over 31,643 women have used the product and seen results.
The supplement is not a “diet” but a series of supportive actions that can help to address gut health imbalance.
Hormone Harmony, says the brand, contains a blend of plant extracts shown to support a healthy balance between key hormones to assist in weight management and food cravings. It can help to rebalance gut health and address the imbalance in hormones that can contribute to weight loss.
The supplement is available as a one-time purchase or as a subscription here.
