Scientific Nutrition for Weight Gain or Loss – Personalized, Holistic & Root-Cause Focused
What is Weight Imbalance?
Weight imbalance refers to persistent or unintended weight gain or weight loss that impacts not only your appearance but also your metabolism, hormones, gut function, and overall health.
This is more than short-term fluctuations—it often indicates deeper internal dysregulation related to:
- Endocrine disorders (thyroid dysfunction, PCOS/PCOD, diabetes)
- Autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s, celiac disease)
- Chronic nutrient deficiencies
- Medication-induced weight changes
- Gut health issues impairing digestion and absorption
At NS Nutricare Online Nutrition Consultation, Dr. Najma Shaikh – a qualified and experienced nutritionist — uses a functional medicine–based nutrition approach. Her goal is to identify the actual reason behind your weight changes and correct the imbalance from the root. If you’re searching for an online nutritionist for weight imbalance, her evidence-backed approach offers a medically aligned solution.
What Causes Weight Imbalance? A Deeper Medical Perspective
Dr. Najma begins with a detailed medical history and relevant diagnostics. Based on symptoms, she may investigate the following:
1. Endocrine Disruptions
– Hypothyroidism
Slows metabolic rate, causing weight gain, constipation, hair thinning, cold sensitivity.
🧪 Tests: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Anti-TPO
– Hyperthyroidism
Triggers unintentional weight loss, tremors, palpitations, excessive hunger.
🧪 Tests: TSH, T3, T4, Thyroid antibodies
– PCOD/PCOS
Alters insulin and androgen balance, leading to belly fat, acne, irregular cycles.
🧪 Tests: LH:FSH ratio, Testosterone, Fasting Insulin, HbA1c
– Cortisol Dysregulation (Stress Hormones)
Chronic stress increases visceral fat, cravings, and emotional eating.
🧪 Tests: Cortisol, DHEA-S, ACTH stimulation (if needed)
2. Nutritional Deficiencies
Low nutrient levels directly disrupt metabolism, energy, appetite, and hair/skin health.
- Vitamin D3 (fatigue, low immunity)
- Vitamin B12 (low appetite, nerve pain, brain fog)
- Iron deficiency (anemia, weakness)
- Magnesium & Zinc (affect insulin response and hormones)
3. Gut Health & Malabsorption
Conditions like IBS, SIBO, celiac disease or leaky gut can cause:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Bloating and acid reflux
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
Conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, IBS, SIBO, or celiac disease often contribute to these.
4. Medication Side Effects
Common medications influencing weight include:
- Steroids
- Antidepressants
- Diabetes medications
- Thyroid medications (over/under-dosing)
Dr. Najma reviews your medicines to ensure your nutrition plan complements your treatment.
5. Lifestyle & Emotional Health
Weight imbalance is also linked to:
- Poor sleep
- Stress or emotional eating
- Irregular meals
These disrupt ghrelin and leptin—your hunger & satiety hormones—slowing metabolism.
Symptoms That Indicate Weight Imbalance
- Sudden weight gain or loss
- Unrelenting fatigue
- Menstrual issues or fertility challenges
- Bloating, acidity
- Sugar cravings
- Anxiety or mood swings
- Hair thinning, acne, pigmentation
