Dr. Kranski specializes in helping people with resistant belly fat. He explains particular body shape characteristics and how your metabolic rate is controlled by hormones, which are influenced by what you eat and how a person exercises. His approach to weight loss is very different from most other schools of thought on losing weight and believes the problem is not the weight, it is health – specifically, hormone health. Fat is lost or gained in direct relation to the healthiness of your hormones. And hormones control metabolism, which then cause fat-burning effects.
