Emotional Eating & Hormonal Weight Gain – Beaconsfield

 

Emotional Eating & Hormonal Weight Gain – Doctor-Led Support in Beaconsfield

Many women in Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Amersham, and High Wycombe struggle with emotional eating, which can be amplified by hormonal changes such as menopause, PCOS, or thyroid imbalances. Emotional eating often sabotages efforts to lose weight, even with healthy eating habits.

At 121 Clinic Beaconsfield, we provide doctor-led programmes that address both the emotional triggers and the hormonal factors behind weight gain — combining medical treatments, personalised nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.

🌿 Why Emotional Eating Happens

Emotional eating is often a response to:

  • Stress or anxiety – increasing cortisol, which promotes fat storage

  • Hormonal imbalances – menopause or PCOS can heighten cravings

  • Sleep disruption – poor sleep affects appetite-regulating hormones

  • Mood fluctuations – leading to comfort eating or snacking

Understanding these triggers is key to overcoming emotional eating and losing weight sustainably.

Doctor-Led Solutions for Emotional Eating & Hormonal Weight Gain

Our programmes combine:

  • Medical assessment – identifying hormone imbalances or metabolic issues that may contribute to weight gain

  • Mounjaro or Wegovy (if suitable) – reducing appetite, controlling cravings, and supporting fat loss

  • Personalised nutrition – stabilising blood sugar, managing cravings, and maintaining energy

  • Lifestyle coaching – stress management, mindfulness, and sleep optimisation

This holistic approach ensures that both the body and mind are supported, helping women achieve long-term results.

Personalised Nutrition & Support

Our nutritionists develop customised meal plans that focus on:

  • Low-glycaemic foods to stabilise blood sugar and control cravings

  • Balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fibre to sustain energy

  • Practical strategies for social events, emotional triggers, and busy schedules

Women in Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Giles, and Amersham benefit from ongoing support and guidance, ensuring sustainable habits and weight loss success.
