Weight Loss
Weight loss management involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term health and well-being.
What is obesity and how we can help?
Weight management adheres to a multi-faceted lifestyle model that’s comprised of several interrelated decisions and activities such as: eating healthy foods; understanding portion sizes, nutritional values, and macronutrient ratios; creating a holistic exercise regimen that works with your schedule, incorporates your interests, is dynamic enough to prevent burnout, and sets reasonable goals; and accessing the wealth of safe, clinically proven, prescription weight management medications that are currently available.

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese, which exponentially increases their odds of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and other cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Obesity and its many serious comorbidities exert a heavy toll in both human and economic terms. Studies have demonstrated that weight loss of as little as 5% to 10% of baseline body weight, has been shown to result in lower triglyceride and blood pressure levels, and in as much as a 58% reduction in the risk of diabetes in pre-diabetic patients.
Unfortunately, the problem of obesity is typically exacerbated by aging, as this condition becomes even more difficult to control for older segments of the population. It is a mistake to merely think of obesity in relation to internal health conditions, because it impacts many other areas of one’s childhood, teen, adult, and especially senior life.
One study of individuals aged 65 years and older found that obese individuals had a 31% higher incidence of falling.

Symptoms and Causes of Obesity
Although there are genetic components and hormonal influences, obesity occurs when you take in more calories than you burn through normal daily activities and extracurricular exercise. The body stores these excess calories as fat, which if it continues to accumulate results in obesity that can be caused by a combination of contributing factors including:
- Inactivity - a sedentary lifestyle makes it easy to overeat.
- Unhealthy diet and eating habits - frequent: high calorie meals; fast food; breakfast skipping; late night eating; drinking high calorie beverages; and eating oversized portions all contribute to weight gain.
- Pregnancy - Many women view this as a time of overindulgence, which initiates obesity, whereas others simply find this weight difficult to lose after giving birth.
- Lack of sleep - getting less than seven hours of sleep a night can cause changes in hormones that increase your appetite, and create cravings for high calorie foods.
- Certain medications - some antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, diabetes medications, antipsychotic medications, steroids, and beta blockers.
- Medical problems - specific medical diseases and conditions promote weight gain, such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Cushing’s syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, etc.
