Angie is a 38-year-old woman who was referred to our clinic by her personal trainer. She was working out six days a week with him. She has two children under five years old and a busy executive husband (which means she is raising three children, right?). Angie is a stay-at-home mom. She gets up early in the morning, goes to the gym, and gets home in time for her hubby to go to work. The workouts are not helping her to lose weight.

How Badly Do <I>You</I> Want to Lose Weight?

By Robert Jones

August 20, 2012 04:05 AM MDT

Most of the women we see at the Utah Wellness Institute want to lose weight. Sometimes it’s what I call “vanity weight”. Other times it’s over a hundred pounds. It doesn’t really matter the amount. Of course we’ll run some blood tests to see if their thyroid has a problem (most of the time it does—which obviously slows down their metabolism) or to see if their other hormones might be causing fat-storing issues. We can generally treat those things successfully with bio-identical hormones. But that’s not the biggest battle we face with these overweight women (and men, of course).

Believe it or not, this is one of our diagnostic questions we ask our patients. It goes something like this, “Sarah, let say it’s a Sunday afternoon and you sit down on the couch to read a good book. How long can you keep reading until you start nodding off?” The answer, so many times, is, “Oh, maybe 5 minutes, at the longest. That’s why I just don’t read that much anymore. I just can’t concentrate.” That is one of the cardinal signs of a person with a thyroid problem.

By Robert Jones

Studies show that depression is more common in women than men when we look at hospital admissions, population studies, suicide attempts, and the prescription of antidepressants. There is a preponderance of evidence to show that it relates directly to the levels of a woman’s hormones.
