Pituitary gland does not work Topic


I struggle alot to lose weight. My pituitary gland was damaged by a rare disease. I take artificial hormones and will for the rest of my life. Does any one else have this typed of issue and what do you do to lose weight.
I have done it all to try and drop pounds.


Hello 🙂 while I do not have these issues you are dealing with I do have my own struggles and just wanted to say don’t give up and don’t be hard on yourself.

Have you tried a Whole Foods Plant Based approach? If not, do a search on it & see if that peeks your interest. đź’—


Thanks so much! Will do🙏


I have a prolactinoma. So my pituitary produces extra prolactin. This has really affected my weight since puberty. I am on medication for it till menopause most likely. I’ve only successfully dropped significant weight twice as an adult (I’m 48). The 1st time using a product called Soloslim. It worked amazing with appetite suppressant etc. but they changed the formula due to it having bitter Orange which adversely affected heart rate. And this past year using a GLP1 injectable medication. It’s for type 2 diabetes which I didn’t have “yet” But at 240 lbs ( I’m 5’2”) I was well on the way. I do monitor my calories though and found since I’m fairly sedentary (office job) I really only need about 1300 a day to lose weight (the med I’m on helps by slowing digestion, keeping my blood sugar in check and not craving food all the time, which makes eating less easier)
