food, processed food, ultra processed food that will lead to wanting to consume more. Right. Then when we talk about also there's some mutations that may also cause obesity. Right. And then when we talk about hormonal, so through a person's life, there could be hormonal changes, shifts, imbalances that is going to promote waking.

We can talk about hypothyroidism, right, which thyroid hormone controls your metabolism. Then we can talk about PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, when there's hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and this promotes visceral fat. Visceral fat promotes insulin resistance, insulinemia, and it goes into a vicious cycle.

We also talk about perimenopause and menopause with the changes of fluctuations or the drop of estrogen. This promotes visceral fat. The subcutaneous fat that you had in your fertile years in your hips and your breasts goes intra-abdominally. This visceral fat promotes insulin resistance, and then you go into that vicious cycle again.

Also, because of the drop of estrogen, we see a decrease in lean muscle mass. Muscle mass is your burning calorie machine. If you lose it, then your metabolism slows down. Then we go into aging. Aging also, as we age, we tend to lose muscle mass. It's harder to build muscle. And also it promotes waking. And then we go into environmental factors.

As we talk, the food industry, industrialization, plastic, pesticides, all of those things disrupt your endocrine system. We call them endocrine disrupting chemicals because they disrupt the function, the normal function of your hormones. They mimic your hormones. So they occupy the receptors where your hormones should go and do a function. And this can promote obesity and fertility.

So they're real things that are impacting people's life on the day-to-day basis.

Knowing this and understanding this, you move away of anxiety. putting the pressure on the patient, right? You move away of being a one participant in this equation. It goes more into a team, what you can do for the patient and educating the patient. It becomes a team. Let's talk about, as an example, diabetes, type 2 diabetes.
