A member asked:
Do imbalanced female hormones lead to weight gain or is this just people making excuses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Great question, a bit touchy to answer though! the truth is 'some of both:' many endocrine disorders, female or otherwise, can absolutely result in weight gain; however, it is also a common scapegoat for excess weight when no endocrine disorder is actually present.
