Inside:
The 5 Hormonal Blocks that make it impossible to lose
weight…
Plus, the 30 Second Fix that unclogged my hormones and had
me dropping pound-after-pound in under a week.
My husband John and I never used to fight…
But ever since I realized that virtually all of my weight problems were
due to my hormones…
And lost 34lbs in just under 90 days..
He’s constantly complaining that I shop too much.
He’s not wrong…
But literally NONE of my clothes fit me anymore…
So what am I supposed to do?
Should I walk around wearing clothes that fit like a poncho?
Or better yet…
Should I just walk around naked?
My husband might say “yes” to the naked part 😂
But seriously…
When you fix your broken hormones (there are 5 total btw)…
And drop the pounds as fast as I have…
You pretty much need to update your entire wardrobe.
And besides, it’s not like I’m buying a bunch of designer clothes
anyways…
I mean sure, a few times…
But that’s only because it’s just so fun going into those fancy
boutiques…
The same ones that I used to avoid like the plague, because their
clothes weren’t made for people like “me”…
Trying on outfit-after-outfit…
And every single one seems to mold perfectly to my newfound, slim
physique.
It’s a total confidence rush…
So of course I’m going to do that sometimes…
But that’s beside the point…
Because I try on way more stuff from those stores than I actually
buy…
And most of the new clothing I’m getting is coming from Goodwill
and is very cheap…
So seriously, what’s my husband’s deal!
If it wasn’t for the help of one of the nation’s top hormone experts…
A man named Dr. Eric J. Wood.
Dr. Wood showed me that the real reason I could never lose weight…
And the real reason why fat seemed to be continuously migrating to
my belly and my thighs…
Had nothing to do with my eating habits…
Or even how much time I spent in the gym…
But with 5 Hormonal Blocks…
Blocks that are affecting millions of women, and men, right now…
And leading to something called “weight loss resistance”…
Where it can feel impossible to drop even a single pound.
So about me.
I used to feel trapped in a body
I didn’t love.
Okay, so as I mentioned my name is Sam.
And while today I’m finding any excuse possible to slip on a bikini
and run to the beach…
For most of my adult life…
I felt trapped inside a body I didn’t love.
It started in my late twenties…
At first, I just noticed that I wasn’t losing weight as easily as before…
And even though I was pretty active and tried to eat healthy…
Each year a little more unwelcomed fat would show up on my body…
Mostly around my butt, face, arms, and neck…
And because this fat didn’t ever want to leave…
I started joking that my fat was like some awful house guest who
overstays their welcome.
I’d later learn that what I was dealing with…
Is something called weight loss resistance…
Which is the term for what happens when your body refuses to burn
fat…
But at the time I just felt frustrated…
And thought maybe this weight gain was my fault…
Or that there was something wrong with me.
Which had started off so promising (I’d lost almost 3lbs in the first
two weeks!)…
But then ended in disappointment…
As I quickly plateaued…
Became fatigued and moody 24/7..
Then gained back all the weight back…
Plus a little extra for good measure.
I’d later discover that the reason Keto didn’t work for me…
And this is the same reason it doesn’t work for a lot of women…
Has to do with those 5 Hormonal Blocks we’re going to talk about in a
second…
But at the time…
I just felt frustrated and depressed…
Like I wanted to crawl into my bed and never come out.
It was like…
So I made an appointment
with my doctor…
And during the visit, I asked him to test my hormones.
I was expecting him to say “sure Sam, whatever you want!”…
So I felt CRUSHED when instead of doing that…
He let out this arrogant little smirk…
Then literally rolled his eyes!
My dear old doctor told me that hormone testing is expensive and
unnecessary…
Then he proceeded repeat the same tired advice he’d been giving me
for nearly two decades:
“If you want to lose weight, you just need to burn more calories than
you put in.”
My doctor said it was all simple math…
Then he asked me if I belonged to a gym…
And by the time he was done talking…
Oh my God. I wanted to
explode…
You have two adrenal glands that sit above your kidneys…
And they produce a hormone called cortisol…
Which is often referred to as a “stress hormone”…
Because it’s released when you experience stress.
Cortisol is very important to your survival…
But when your cortisol levels are always high…
Which can happen due to everyday stressors like:
A demanding job
Arguments on social media
A rocky relationship
Sitting in bad traffic
A challenging child
Plus anything else…
Your brain thinks you’re in survival mode…
So it shuts down your metabolism…
Your digestion…
And even parts of your brain.
Why does it do this?
Because even though your stress might be due to something
“harmless”…
Like your boss nonstop texting on a weekend…
Your brain can’t differentiate between “harmless” stress…
And a real threat…
So it takes energy from anywhere in the body that it views as “non-
essential”…
Which includes your metabolism, your digestive system, and even
parts of your brain…
And sends this energy to places like your muscles and your heart…
Which your brain considers essential to your survival.
Think of it like this:
If you need to fight, your muscles better work…
And if you need to run for your life, your heart better be able to pump
blood…
But you know what’s NOT essential to fighting or running away?
Your metabolism raging and burning fat…
Your digestion operating smoothly so you don’t experience irregular
bowel movements…
Or your brain being able to solve math equations or complex problems.
So the fact that those places get robbed of energy makes sense…
In fact, it’s actually smart of your brain to do this.
The problem though…
Is that if your stress isn’t coming from a real threat…
But from your 24/7 job…
Or family commitments…
Then your metabolism, digestion, and brain always remain robbed of
energy…
It’s impossible to burn fat…
And you constantly feel like your brain is in a fog.
Pretty crazy, right?
And we’ve still got three more hormonal blocks left…
So let’s keep things going.
The third hormonal block Dr.
Wood told
me about has to do
with Estrogen.
Estrogen is what’s referred to as a “sex hormone”…
And when estrogen levels are too high, or too low…
And aren't in balance with progesterone...
Which is another important female reproductive hormone….
It can very easily lead to weight loss resistance.
One of the tell-tale signs of erratic estrogen levels…
Is that you’ll notice more fat getting stored in your belly and hips…
And you’ll notice that this fat is visceral and clingy…
To the point where it feels like it’s impossible to get rid of it…
No matter how much dieting or exercising you do.
For many women…
Erratic estrogen problems start in their mid-thirties…
Then continue before, during, and after menopause.
The reason why…
Is because as a woman exits her prime reproductive years…
Which normally happens between the ages of 30 and 35…
The balance between estrogen and progesterone can grow increasingly
out of whack…
And her estrogen levels will start to peak…
While her progesterone levels begin to free-fall.
And as women enter their 40s…
This imbalance between estrogen and progesterone only becomes
worse..
Which can negatively affect your thyroid hormones …
And lead to you putting on more and more pounds of fat.
It’s for this reason that so many women are being pushed towards
hormone therapies once they enter their 40s and 50s…
But wouldn’t it be better if you could just keep estrogen levels
balanced naturally…
Without continuously packing on more pounds of fresh belly fat?
Well the good news…
Is that this is absolutely possible.
I’ll show you exactly how to do it…
Plus give you four more proven hormonal fixes…
In just a few moments.
The problem though is that your muscles can only store a small
amount of glycogen at any given time…
And once your muscles’ about to store glycogen is maxed it…
Your body has no choice but to store additional glycogen as fat.
Obviously, that’s not good if you’re trying to lose weight…
And it’s especially brutal when you combine high insulin…
With the other hormonal blocks we’ve looked at so far.
Think about it…
Insulin and estrogen are BOTH telling your body to store more
fat…
While your thyroid hormones and cortisol are BOTH telling
your body not to burn fat.
So is it any wonder that you’ve been struggling to lose weight?
And all of this is before we add in the the last hormonal block too…
Which we’re going to go over right now.
Your low-energy…
Your poor nights of sleep…
As a quick reminder…
Ongoing stress can lead to an overproduction of a hormone called
cortisol…
And when cortisol levels remain high…
It can lead to a weakened metabolism, immune system, and even
brain.
So when it comes to addressing this hormonal block…
The one and only goal is to naturally lower cortisol levels.
One way to do that is to never become stressed…
But that’s a lot easier said than done…
And if you’re a busy parent…
Have a thriving career…
Or really just live in the U.S. in the year 2019…
Eliminating stress from your life completely just isn’t very realistic.
This is why Dr. Wood recommends supplementing your diet with
Rhodiola Rosea…
Which has been proven in numerous clinical trials to:
Reduce stress
It’s no wonder Rhodiola was used extensively for years by the Russian
Olympic medical training team to help their athletes optimize their
performance and recoup faster from grueling training sessions.
But most excitingly of all…
New research in both humans and animals is finding that
supplementing with Rhodiola can:
Significantly increase the rate at which our bodies burn fatxii
Reduce the content of bad, fatty acids in the bloodstreamxiii
And reduce the build-up of visceral white fatxiv
In addition to Rhodiola…
Dr. Wood also recommends adding Red Ginseng to your diet too…
Because numerous studies have found that this root extract decreases
cortisol levels and reduce stress…xv xvi xvii xviii
Plus a major 2017 study recently found that taking red ginseng “can
exert an anti-obesity effect in humans”…xix
Which is a finding that’s backed up by another 2014 human study…
Where researchers found Red Ginseng to exert a “weight loss effect.”xx
Honestly both Rhodiola and Ginseng are such exciting ingredients that
I could go on and on about them…
But we still have three more hormonal fixes to get to…
So let’s keep trucking along.
For Cortisol
Rhodiola Rosea Extrat and Red Ginseng
For Estrogen
DIM (Diindolylmethane)
For Insulin
Cinnamon
For Leptin
African Mango
And now that you know all of this…
For example…
He included 500mg of Cinnamon Extract…
Because that’s how much cinnamon people were given in the studies
on cinnamon and insulin…
600mg of Rhodiola Rosea…
Because that’s how much was included in the studies on Rhodiola and
Cortisol…
150 mg of African Mango…
Because that’s how much was included in the studies on African
Mango and Leptin.
And Dr. Wood did this for the thyroid hormone supporting ingredients
too…
Along with the amount of estrogen-regulating DIM that he added as
well.
A single bottle of HB5 will have you burning fat, noticing increased
energy, and experiencing a better mood with less brain fog…
Three bottles will do the same thing, leading to a major transformation
in both your appearance and health…
And six bottles of HB5 will feel like you are refreshing your
hormones totally, from the ground up…
So that your body burns fat and functions properly both now…
And for years to come.
So at this point, you’re probably wondering “how do I get started?”…
And the answer is to simply click on one of the packages you see
below right now…
Then choose the amount of HB5 that’s right for you.
You’ll be taken to a secure checkout page where you’ll enter your
