Concerns about weight gain are one of the leading reasons that some women are wary of using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

As a general rule, when your body has the right levels of human-identical ovarian hormones, estradiol and progesterone, these hormones work together to stabilize weight.

Your natural hormones:
moderate appetite
lower inflammation* improve insulin sensitive
balance fluid retention and removal

When women on newly HRT do gain weight, it is usually fluid, which can make you feel puffy and big, and will show up as weight gain on the scale. Alternatively, if your hormone levels are still too low, you can keep the body in a state of low grade inflammation, which promotes weight gain.
