I am a mom of 5, age 40 and for the first time in about 10 years I can't drop some unwanted weight, despite exercise, good diet, and still nursing a 20 month old 5x/day. I began natural progesterone cream 2 months ago after I read Dr. Lee's book and scored high on the estrogen dominance category. I was hoping that would help, but still seems like my midsection just continues to bulge. I do get cold hands and feet, in winter especially, so thought to maybe get some glandular thyroid as Dr. Lee recommends. I was scanning some of the coconut oil threads and found that interesting as well. can anyone comment on either approach? Should I try one first or both? Are both fine with nursing still? Thank you...can't wait to feel good in jeans again...not to mention would love a tummy tuck after 5 kiddos : OH, I also have had excess cortisol so I do take adrenal supps as well. Along that can taking adrenal supps if cort is normal cause weight gain? I have not had the cortisol levels checked in about 6 months but am still on the supps. Thank you for any help!!!
