The lock & key to weight loss resistance

We are closing out our discussion on “Why would someone not lose weight after WLS?”  We identified our genes are the lock & cofactors are the key in Part 2 sharing the importance of vitamins & minerals and how they influence gene behavior.

In Part 3 we will show how cofactors influence yet another importance process…detoxification.

The importance of vitamins & minerals impact detoxification

Detoxification is a natural process your liver is responsible for.   Issues arise when you are missing required cofactors necessary for phase one & phase two detoxification to occur.

Not only are specific vitamins, amino acids & phospholipids necessary for your liver to remove toxins, but your genes play a role as well.

How genetics impact detoxification

Some individuals are missing genetic SNPs responsible for specific processes in phase one and two detoxification.   When this occurs toxins build up creating liver disease and other health issues.

How detoxification impacts weight loss resistance

A great example estrogen.  If an individual poorly detoxifies estrogen it impacts their ability to lose weight.  So not only do fat cells produce estrogen, they also inhibit the ability to access fat stores making it more difficult to lose.

If you are struggling with weight loss resistance

First off, I would say don’t lose hope!  I would love to work with you on optimizing your results.  I have worked with tens of thousands of WLS patients helping them identify those not so obvious causes contributing to weight loss resistance.  Weight loss isn’t only about diet and exercise.  There are many factors that can influence your results.

Your future health awaits…
