Why you should lose weight?
Obesity is associated with the major causes of death and illness in the United States. It is an epidemic problem and is growing at alarming rates. Studies show that obesity decreases lifespan and is associated with hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer and arthritis.
The increase in obesity rate is due to a host of factors including our eating habits but may be the results of undiagnosed hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances, food allergies, leaky gut syndrome, environmental toxins, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders. It is important to identify underlying medical causes of weight gain if we are to win the battle against obesity and achieve wellness.

Weight loss is important in decreasing blood pressure and preventing and controlling diabetes.

Weight loss also can be important in increasing fertility and sex drive, balancing hormones, preventing fibroids and uterine cancer and decreasing PMS, perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
Weight gain is associated with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Correcting neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain) can treat depressions while decreasing cravings and suppressing appetite and healthy weight loss.
Our safe and effective medical weight loss program helps you comfortably lose weight and keep it off.
Medical Weight Loss Testing
There are many reasons why you gain weight or have difficulty losing weight. Our doctors may recommend laboratory testing such as hormone, nutritional, metabolic, neurotransmitter, food allergy and environmental testing. We may also have you to monitor your urine ketone levels at home to ensure that you are burning ketones and do not become too acidic.
Laboratory testing can help ensure that you get the results that you want and help to identify causes for your weight gain. Weight gain is often a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Do not assume that your weight gain is due to your eating habits or normal aging. It is important to identify through laboratory testing what caused you to gain weight so that you keep it off and achieve optimum health.
