Charles Poliquin has an entire course called Biosignature that correlates certain areas of fat with certain hormonal issues. I listed them below. What are your thoughts, and can you expand on how someone 'change' these hormonal issues naturally?
Chin & Cheek — The first sites to go down during a diet. These sites aren't linked to any particular hormone imbalance.
Pectoral & Triceps — The androgen sites. High pec readings in men in relation to the triceps can reflect an androgen/estrogen imbalance. Interestingly, Charles says a female who clocks in at less than 5mm on the triceps site is almost a shoe-in to be on AAS.
Suprailliac & Subscapular — The insulin sites. These sites are related to blood sugar management. High readings here vs. the triceps may reflect poor insulin sensitivity and carb intolerance.
Mid-axillary — This site is correlated to thyroid hormone levels. The lower the number, the better the thyroid.
Umbilical — The much maligned cortisol site. It can be high despite low overall body fat.
Knee & Medial Calf — These skinfolds are related to growth hormone. Interestingly, readings on the knee site tend to go up in the third and fourth week of a fat loss diet and then go back down.
Quadriceps & Hamstring — High levels here vs. the triceps are correlated to high estrogen levels.
