Increase Fat-Burning Hormones to Erase Belly Fat In 2026

Welcome to the final part 4 in my series about 4 clinically proven ways to burn belly fat.

As a quick summary:

Part 1: Sex Hormone Imbalances

In Part 1, I discussed imbalances in your “sex hormones” – specifically how BAD lower male hormones (testosterone, DHEA, etc) and higher female hormones (estrogen, prolactin, etc) causes weight gain – especially as we get older.

GOAL:

So your goal is to have higher testosterone and lower estrogen, especially for men.

Part 2: High Blood Sugar

In Part 2, I talked about high blood sugar and insulin levels, which cause fat storage around your belly, especially around your organs – called “visceral” fat.

GOAL:

So, your goal is to have lower blood sugar levels.

Part 3: Lower Stress Hormones

In Part 3, I covered how stress hormones such as Cortisol cause an immediate increase in weight, specifically fat around your stomach.

GOAL:

Your goal is the manage stress levels and hormones.

Part 4: Fat-Burning Hormones

In this final part 4, I discuss specific hormones that are designed to burn fat, increase your metabolism, and also reduce cravings and appetite.

Part 4A: Increase Thyroid

The first hormone I want to discuss is Thyroid – which I’m sure you’re familiar with.

The higher your thyroid levels, the faster your metabolism becomes so the better your food gets utilized.

In fact, your thyroid gland also indirectly affects other hormones – sex hormones, stress, blood sugar, growth hormones, and other peptides.

So this is a very important hormone that you want at OPTIMAL levels – not just “normal” levels.

As you age and men’s testosterone levels drop and women start to go through menopause, their thyroid levels drop.

Now, you may still be in the “normal” range when you do a blood test, but it won’t be in the upper, optimal “fat-burning” range.

So to improve your thyroid levels, you need to:

1. Always have some carbohydrates in your diet. NO-carb and LOW-carb diets lower your thyroid.
2. Stay away from soy, as that lowers your thyroid production.
3. Make sure you have some protein with all your meals because that helps increase thyroid.
4. Eat healthy fats to optimize your hormones: fish oil, extra virgin olive oil and some coconut (MCT) oil.
5. Take some powerful herbs such as Guggulsterones, L-Tyrosine, Theobromine and iodine to boost your thyroid levels naturally.

Part 4B: Increase Leptin

Next, you want to increase Leptin levels, which helps reduce your appetite and then lower Ghrelin, which increases your appetite. These are known as “hunger hormones”.

For fast results, you can take supplements that contain the herb African Mango, which helps lower Leptin. More importantly, you should also make the following changes:

To improve these hormones, you want to:

1 – Deep Sleep

Make sure you get enough deep sleep.

2 – Slow Calorie Reduction

When dieting, decrease your calories slowly and gradually.

Too much, too soon, causes an imbalance in these hormones and this causes a dramatic increase in your appetite, which causes you to eat more.

3 – African Mango

Also, a very potent ingredient called the African Mango Extract (Irvingia Gabonensis) has been clinically shown to dramatically increase Leptin levels.

The end result of this human clinical study was a weight loss of over 20 lbs on average in 10 weeks.¹

Now, there are other hormones you want to improve for fat burning – such as

• improving insulin sensitivity
• lower cortisol levels
• decreasing estrogen

and so forth, which I’ve already spoken about in previous articles.

Basically, people with “skinny genetics” have improved levels of these hormones.

Now, you can’t change your genetics but you can improve these hormones so that losing fat becomes much easier, faster, and happens with less effort.
