30 Seconds SummaryBioSignature review: Are hormones the key to weight loss?
- BioSignature Modulation, created by Charles Poliquin, and similar programs claim weight loss by correcting supposed hormonal imbalances through skinfold measurements to determine body fat distribution linked to various hormones.
- The principle behind BioSignature is based on the idea that fat distribution indicates hormonal imbalances. For example, abdominal fat suggests high cortisol, and specific interventions can allegedly target these imbalances.
- Scientific critique clarifies that while hormones do influence fat distribution, they do so globally across the body, not in isolated spots as BioSignature proposes.
- Factors like gender, genetic make-up, and age primarily dictate fat storage patterns, rather than isolated hormonal changes.
- BioSignature's method of linking specific hormones to precise fat-storing locations is not supported by broader scientific evidence and oversimplifies the complex interaction between hormones and fat distribution.
- BioSignature has been criticized for creating a business model around selling supplements based on dubious claims rather than evidence-based practices.
- The critique concludes that overall body fat and health are influenced by a range of factors including diet and genetics far more than by manipulable hormonal imbalances proposed by BioSignature.
