Hormone Imbalance Causes Cellulite

Cellulite Reduction in Scottsdale

 

Cellulite is ubiquitous. Did you know ninety percent of women struggle with it? Cellulite is made up of more than just fat: it tends to appear in the top layer of connective tissue called septa on the buttocks and upper thighs.  The lumps and bumps resembling cottage cheese develop when the fat cells are too tightly compressed in the septa and push their way out.  Causes of cellulite include poor circulation, aging connective tissue, genetics, and toxin buildup.  The most important factor to consider, however, is that hormone imbalance causes cellulite.

Cellulite is primarily a disorder affecting type I collagen that arises with the onset of the menstrual cycle. Type I collagen is the most prevalent protein in the body.  In most instances, this component is of type I collagen, accounting for many female disorders that are driven by the sex hormones, mainly estrogen and progesterone. This is a critical concept to understand.

Hormone Imbalance Causes Cellulite

The thighs and buttocks present cellulite because this area is a reservoir of nutritional fat for women during pregnancy. Because this fat is not easily mobilized, it is very difficult to remove. Try as you might, you cannot remove all of this fat by vigorous dieting or exercise, although beauty magazines continue to recommend this.  While a healthy diet and exercise are helpful aspects of cellulite reduction, the key here is to balance your hormones.

Use Progesterone Cream.  Estrogen may be partially responsible for the appearance of cellulite as it promotes increased storage of fat cells. Get tested by your doctor to determine if you have a condition called estrogen dominance.  If you are estrogen dominant, you will want to use a topical cream containing the opposing female hormone, progesterone, which may be useful in reducing cellulite. However, progesterone is not considered a cure for cellulite.

Boost Your Thyroid.  Your thyroid hormones play a key part in metabolism, and can affect fat storage and cellulite. Avoid foods that trigger adrenal stress, such as caffeine. And as previously mentioned, find a healthy hormonal balance, since too much estrogen in relation to testosterone can lower thyroid hormones. You should also take supplements that enhance thyroid production, such as selenium, folic acid and iodine.
