If you think you’re carrying a lot of body fat on a certain area of your body, perhaps you’ve got man-boobs or you carry all of your fat around your stomach, then you may be suffering from a hormone imbalance.
Your hormone levels direct where excess fat is stored on your body.

Then think about it – what makes a woman different than a man (other than the desire to own more clothes than necessary as my fiancee can prove)?
The big thing is the different levels of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
Estrogen is the female sex hormone. During puberty, when estrogen levels ramp up, body fat starts accumulating in the chest and sometimes the bum, for some more than others.
Testosterone is the male sex hormone that as men, deepens our voice, hairies up our chest (and in some horrific cases, back, neck and shoulders…) and adds a whole lotta muscle mass so we can do impressive things for those estrogen dominant humans we’re always trying to impress.
