Estrogen
Estrogen is called the hormone of youth, but its high level not only affects weight gain, but also reduces libido, which leads to problems with conception.
Testosterone
Lack of testosterone disrupts metabolism, which is fraught with increased accumulation of adipose tissue and muscle loss.
Thyroid hormones
T3 and T4 regulate the exchange of energy in the body, if hypothyroidism is diagnosed, then weakness, drowsiness appears, and weight increases.
An overactive thyroid gland leads to abnormal weight loss and irritability.
