Weight Management
Many Factors Affect Weight Loss
The absolute most challenging healthment is weight loss. Thousands of diets and programs promise a Magic Bullet & quick results. Unfortunately, most of these plans don’t promote long term healthy living. Additionally, weight fluctuates as a result of fad dieting is one of the worst things for our bodies.
We have several obstacles as Americans that add to this dilemma:
- We live in an over processed food nation and we “Supersize” everything
- Food additives, seed / vegetable oils, and an unthinkable amount of sugar flood the dietary world.
- Many foods are stripped of nutrition, so they last on the shelf longer
- Since food is more processed, there is a higher chance of food sensitivities and intolerance
- We have been misled with low fat diets and the food pyramid.
The Plain Truth
Most medical treatments will provide temporary, unhealthy, and unsustainable weight loss. Proper nutrition, fasting, and exercise are all to often ignored! We have put together a system to diagnose and treat abnormal weight gain. We see it as a puzzle with multiple pieces that must be arranged perfectly. We have a multitude of treatments to suggest including GLP -1 medication to compliment a healthy lifestyle, hormone replacement and optimal nutrition.
