Does sound like an interesting article. I think there is some truth to it - but that we still have more control then we realize. I definitely had hormonal challenges and adrenal fatigue that were part of gaining weight in a pretty short time. I went to a naturopath for quite a while and think it helped a bit but wasn’t until I changed the way I eat and kind of exercise I was doing to see the changes I was hoping for. So it can be a combination of many things - and sometimes takes more than one change to see a difference.
