“Why You’re Doing Everything Right… But Still Not Losing Weight”

Have you ever counted calories, worked out five days a week, cut carbs—and the scale still won’t budge?

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re likely metabolically stuck.

At Momentum Wellness Center, I see this every day—women doing all the "right things" but still struggling to lose weight. Why? Because weight loss is not just about diet and exercise. It’s about hormones, gut health, and inflammation.

The Hidden Role of Cortisol in Stubborn Weight

Cortisol, your stress hormone, is a major player. Chronic stress or poor sleep keeps cortisol high, triggering fat storage—especially around the belly. Even if you’re eating well and exercising, cortisol can stall your progress.

Thyroid Slowdown: When “Normal” Isn’t Optimal

Your thyroid controls your metabolism. But even with “normal” labs, many women suffer from subclinical hypothyroidism. If your TSH is over 2.5 or your free T3 is low, your metabolism may be crawling.

Gut Health & Inflammation: The Silent Blockers

Bloating, constipation, food sensitivities—these are red flags. Inflammation from a leaky gut or poor digestion can impair insulin sensitivity and fat burning. Healing your gut is essential to resetting your metabolism.
