Have you noticed how most people gain weight after following a diet? If you want to learn why diets don't work and how to lose weight healthy, this post is for you.

I am sure you have heard this type of thinking has negative repercussion in your body. Well, cortisol released on those situations can have something to do with it.

Following my post series on other hormones related to weight management, the main interest of estrogen in women is basically on how it changes while we age (and more specifically when we enter menopause) and makes it easier to gain weight and therefore more difficult to lose weight. In women, estrogen changes from one type to another: From the youth-type estradiol, which helps us to keep our burning metabolism high and our fat storages under control, to the estrone form, which not only does...
