Unexplained weight gain - Renew Medical HRT Clinic

What is unexplained weight gain?

Unexplained weight gain refers to sudden and unexpected increases in body weight that don't appear to have an obvious cause. This is a common concern that many people face at some point in their lives.

There are a few potential reasons behind unintentional weight gain:

• Hormonal imbalances - Issues with hormones like cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid can influence metabolism and hunger cues leading to weight gain. As we age or due to other factors, these essential hormones can become imbalanced. Getting tested can help identify any deficits.
• Medications - Some prescription drugs like antidepressants, diabetes medications and steroids are known to cause weight gain in some people.
• Lifestyle factors - Significant stress, poor sleep habits, reduced activity levels, and unhealthy diets high in processed foods, sugars and refined carbs can all contribute to mystery weight gain.
• Medical conditions - In some cases, illnesses like Cushing's syndrome or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could be underlying causes of unexplained weight gain. Consulting a doctor can help diagnose or rule out conditions.

So what should you do about sudden unaccounted weight gain? Start by tracking your diet, activity, lifestyle factors, and any symptoms. Get checked out by your healthcare provider to test for potential hormonal or other medical issues.
