Generic weight loss plans fail because they treat everyone the same. In our experience, the struggle _isn't_ a lack of willpower — it's often a misalignment in one of these 5 biological types: Image: The High Insulin Type ### The High Insulin Type Sugar Cravings + Afternoon Crashes Image: The High Cortisol Type ### The High Cortisol Type Overwhelmed + Poor Sleep Image: The Low Metabolism Type ### The Low Metabolism Type Cold + Fatigue Image: The High Estrogen Type ### The High Estrogen Type Bloating + Mood Image: The High Leptin Type (https://hormetics.health/assets/icon-leptin-C7GJk99F.webp) ### The High Leptin Type Constant Hunger Most weight loss programs just tell you to eat less and move more. Here's the thing. We look at the three systems that actually run your metabolism: your hormones, your metabolism itself, and your genetics. The Hormetics assessment helps **identify your pattern**, so you can see what has quietly been holding your progress back. You may be one type, or you may be a couple. Most people are surprised which one comes up first.

Step 1 ### Take the Assessment A 3-5 minute questionnaire built on Dr Mikicki's clinical framework. No signup required to begin. Step 2 ### Discover Your Hormonal Type See which of the five hormonal patterns is most likely driving your symptoms, and why the weight has been so hard to shift. Step 3 ### Get Your Personalized Guide A type-specific protocol covering nutrition, lifestyle and supplement guidance matched to your results. Step 4 ### Follow Your Type-Specific Protocol Work with your biology instead of against it. No extreme restriction, no one-size-fits-all rules. Hormetics did not come out of a marketing department. It was built by a medical doctor and a health researcher who kept meeting the same person: someone doing everything right who still could not lose the weight. The Hormetics™ System is Co-Developed By: Image: Dr. Miriam Mikicki Dr. Miriam Mikicki, MD Medical Doctor and IFM Practitioner https://healthmiro.com/ Dr. Miriam Mikicki is a UK-trained GP and IFM Certified Practitioner, and a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine's Certification Board.

Her clinical insight — shaped by years of treating patients who were doing everything right but still couldn't reach their health goals — is the foundation of the Hormetics typing system.

That experience shaped his guiding principle: if you aren't getting better, it's because nobody has looked in the right place yet. He founded Advanced Health Genetics, has worked with thousands of clients on hormonal and metabolic patterns, and is Author of the Rejuvenate Blueprint Book Series, the Creator of the Hormetics typing system, and host of the Rejuvenate Podcast. 3rd Party Tested Physician Co-Developed Root Cause Science ## Why The Usual Weight Loss Advice Probably Isn't Working For You Most approaches treat the symptom. Eat less, move more, repeat. But for a lot of people the issue is not effort, it is signalling. When your hormones, metabolism and genetics fall out of alignment, the body can shift into what we call hibernation mode, holding on to weight instead of letting it go. Take insulin. Elevated insulin can quietly precede blood sugar changes by years, which means the pattern can be driving weight gain long before a standard blood test ever flags it. Chronic stress can keep cortisol high, which tends to change where the body stores fat, even when your diet looks clean. And a metabolism that has slowed down, often from years of yo-yo dieting, can quietly work against you on top of all that. And because these are hormonal patterns, the effects rarely stop at the scale. The same imbalances are often behind the flat energy, the low mood, the poor sleep and the foggy focus that tend to travel with stubborn weight. The Hormetics assessment looks at where these signals may be misfiring, so you can stop fighting your biology and start working with it.

Every single one. And I always ended up back at the fridge at 10pm feeling completely defeated. **When my results showed a High Leptin pattern, it was like someone finally turned the lights on**—**my brain literally wasn't getting the signal that I was full.** Since following the protocol, my appetite has naturally regulated and I actually leave food on my plate. I can't tell you what that peace of mind means to someone like me.” Sarah M. 41 High Leptin Type ### My doctor said I was fine, but I didn't feel it “My doctor said my blood sugar was fine. That was it—no explanation for the crashes, the brain fog, and the intense afternoon cravings. The assessment highlighted a High Insulin pattern, **the guide explained the actual mechanism, and the protocol made sense.** No drama—I followed it, and those awful 3pm energy crashes finally stopped. Simple as that.” Michael R. 46 High Insulin Type ### I put it down to getting older “I just put it down to getting older—the rubbish sleep, the morning exhaustion, and feeling constantly drained. Turns out, my body was stuck in a chronic stress response. **Since starting the protocol, I'm actually sleeping through the night properly and waking up refreshed.** My sister asked where all my new energy came from. I said 'apparently my cortisol was out of balance' and she nearly spat out her tea.” Sarah J. 52 High Cortisol Type ### Nobody connected the dots “I'd seen three different practitioners about the ongoing sluggishness and mood changes. **None of them connected it to my hormones.** The assessment identified the pattern almost immediately, which was frankly both impressive and slightly annoying given how long I'd spent searching for answers. Since following the protocol, my system feels noticeably calmer and I feel significantly more balanced.” Rachel T. 38 High Estrogen Type ### Nobody believed me “I was constantly restricting what I ate, but I was exhausted and cold all the time. Exhausted by lunchtime. Honestly thought something was seriously wrong with me. **Turns out my metabolism had basically gone into 'hibernation mode' and eating too little was actually part of the problem,** which sounds mad. Now, I'm eating more nutrient-dense food than before and I've finally got my energy back, so I'm not arguing.” Emma D. 44 Low Metabolism Type ### I thought I had no willpower Sarah M. 41 High Leptin Type Michael R. 46 High Insulin Type ### I put it down to getting older Sarah J. 52 High Cortisol Type ### Nobody connected the dots Rachel T. 38 High Estrogen Type ### Nobody believed me Emma D. 44 Low Metabolism Type *Disclaimer: Testimonials are personal experiences and reflect results after completing the full Hormetics protocol, not from the assessment alone.
