Insulinoma
Insulinoma decreases the level of sugar in the blood drastically and that’s when hypoglycemia occurs. Hypoglycemia contributes to intense hunger as our body is trying to replenish its level of glucose.
If a person doesn’t eat when the hypoglycemia occurs, they could experience shivers, tachycardia, speech and behavior issues, or even fainting. A hypoglycemic attack is a really unpleasant phenomenon, so the body is on constant high alert for signs of hunger and as a result, a person gains weight. If you have these problems, it’s time to see a doctor.
Stress and depression
What is cortisol and why do we need it? Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands. It controls carbohydrate metabolism and is involved in the stress response. Its aim is to save the body’s energy during stressful situations.
Chronic stress causes constant cortisol and adrenaline production. In this case, cortisol converts our energy into fat and saves it. Do you experience fatigue, insomnia, or apathy? You’re probably approaching depression and it’s not just about being in a bad mood, it’s a serious disease that only an expert is able to treat.
