Hormones:  Often the Missing Piece in the Weight Loss Puzzle

Most individuals are able to lose weight by cutting back on calories and increasing the frequency and duration of exercise.  However, if these tactics are not producing results, there may be an underlying hormonal imbalance, which needs to be corrected in order to result in weight loss.  Dr. Michele Cavenee will enlighten us on the topic of hormones and our metabolism with real life examples.  Each of us will learn why and how to make changes now and later in our lives so that healthy lifestyles and weight can be changed—and maintained!
