Why is long-term weight loss so hard?
There are many factors that contribute to overweight and obesity. Some are within your control, while others are not. The modern American lifestyle plays a significant role in the problem.
Many Americans eat a diet high in processed foods. These foods are filled with unhealthy fats, sodium, and any number of preservatives and additives. Americans also spend less time engaged in physical activity than previous generations and more time in front of various screens.
Metabolic disorder can also play a role. If your body struggles with inadequate nutrition, abnormal chemical reactions, or disease in the organs that regulate your metabolism, metabolic disorder can result. This can impact your ability to properly convert food into energy and can lead to serious health consequences.
We offer comprehensive care for metabolic disorder and can help manage your condition and support your body in dropping excess weight.
What is medical weight management?
Medical weight management is a healthy alternative to fad diets and extreme weight loss measures. It involves working in partnership with your physician to make positive lifestyle changes that help you move closer to a healthier weight.
The process begins with a comprehensive health assessment to learn how your body currently functions. If there are signs of disease, those conditions are treated as you begin your weight loss program.
The process is customized every step of the way and the plan changes as your body responds and you begin to lose weight. What won’t change is the support and guidance you will receive from Synergy Primary Clinic.
Begin your weight loss journey today by calling Synergy Primary Clinic or booking an appointment online today.
