there are 5 primary hormones responsible for women's weight gain and 
understanding how they work can help you take control of your weight. 
Learn more in this presentation!
1) Ghrelin
Hunger hormone Ghrelin increases appetite, 
affecting how our bodies store fat and 
expend energy.
2) Leptin
Leptin suppresses appetite and increases energy 
expenditure, but low leptin levels can lead to 
overeating and obesity.
3) Insulin
Too much insulin in the bloodstream can lead to weight 
gain, as it promotes the growth of fat cells and 
prevents burning fat for energy.
4) Estrogen
This female hormone plays a crucial role in regulating 
metabolism, but too much can cause weight gain by 
increasing fat storage.
5) Cortisol
The so-called 'stress hormone' increases blood sugar 
and encourages fat storage, leading to weight gain if 
levels are too high.
