Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program designed to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss focuses on identifying the underlying factors contributing to weight gain, including metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, and medical conditions. By addressing these factors, we create a customized plan that works for you.
Reasons for Weight Gain and
Difficulty Losing Weight
Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions such as hypothyroidism, menopause, or low testosterone can slow metabolism and lead to weight gain.
Poor Sleep: Lack of sleep disrupts hunger-regulating hormones, increasing appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods.
Chronic Stress: Elevated cortisol levels can lead to fat accumulation, especially around the abdomen.
Medications: Certain prescriptions, such as antidepressants or steroids, may cause weight gain as a side effect.
Slow Metabolism: Aging or genetics can reduce metabolic efficiency, making it harder to burn calories.
Emotional Eating: Using food to cope with stress, boredom, or other emotions can result in overeating.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity reduces calorie expenditure, contributing to weight gain.
Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or insulin resistance can affect weight management.
