Are you still struggling with weight loss despite calorie counting, dieting and exercise? Experiencing a plateau with your weight loss journey and not sure how to move forward? You know that being overweight or obese is not just about appearance. It significantly impacts nearly all areas of your life making it even more critical to find a solution that helps you attain weight loss and maintenance.
So why then do doctors and weight-loss clinics still push a one-size-fits-all weight loss solution? While diet and exercise are a great start, there is more that plays into why you can’t lose weight and keep it off – and it starts with a personalized approach.
It’s time for a new approach to weight loss rooted in whole-body healing and overcoming weight loss resistance.
Weight loss resistance is a clinical challenge that prevents you from shedding excess weight despite following conventional diet and exercise routines. Many factors contribute to this condition, including hormonal imbalances, metabolic irregularities, genetic predispositions, chronic stress, and insufficient sleep.
The weight loss industry has often stood apart from the field of medicine, resulting in a proliferation of weight loss clinics offering quick fixes, unsustainable diets, and products laden with sugars, chemicals, and toxins. This approach has hindered genuine and lasting solutions for individuals seeking effective weight loss and perpetuating weight-loss resistance.
Although weight loss may occur initially, without addressing the root cause of the weight gain, it’s only a matter of time before the weight and associated symptoms return, keeping you feeling unwell.
Unlike traditional weight-loss programs, Forum Health Medical Weight Loss addresses the root causes of weight loss resistance with a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that incorporates targeted lifestyle modifications, personalized nutritional strategies, and, in certain cases, medical interventions. The outcomes go beyond mere body composition changes, extending to improvements in health span and longevity.
The Missing Piece: A Whole-Body Approach to Weight Loss and Optimal Health
Our providers offer a variety of resources to empower patients on their weight-loss journey, including:
- Advanced Testing – Targeting the root cause of your weight-loss resistance begins with using advanced testing methods to check crucial body functions including:
- Thyroid Function: An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to a slowed metabolism, making it more challenging to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight.
- Liver Function: Impaired liver function can disrupt the body’s ability to metabolize fats efficiently, contributing to weight gain and making weight loss efforts less effective.
- Toxin Overload: Accumulation of toxins like mold and heavy metals in the body may interfere with metabolic processes and hormone regulation, hindering weight loss by disrupting the body’s natural ability to balance energy.
- Hidden Illnesses: Certain undiagnosed medical conditions, such as Lyme disease, Epstein Barr virus, or autoimmune disorders, can impact metabolism and contribute to weight gain, posing obstacles to successful weight loss efforts.
- GLP-1 Injections with Precision Dosing – GPL-1s are hormones that work by increasing insulin secretion, slowing down stomach emptying, and promoting a feeling of fullness, ultimately helping regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite, thus influencing weight management. They also aid in lowering inflammation, regulating digestion, enhancing metabolic function, decreasing appetite, and reducing the likelihood of cardiovascular disease.
- Medical Detox Protocols – Fat cells hold on to toxins that can prevent weight loss and increase the risk for illness and disease. A medical detox program, like Forum Health Medical Weight Loss’ GDRx Total Body Detox, can remove toxin build up and reset your gut health.
- Accountability Health Coaching – Addresses healthy habits and the psychological relationship to food to ensure success, maximize results, and offer transformation and breakthroughs.
- Lifestyle and Nutrition – Forum Health Medical Weight Loss providers offer guidance on healthy lifestyle and nutrition along with dietary supplements to benefit long-term weight loss.
- Peptide Therapy – Peptides can help accelerate weight loss, improve muscle growth and suppress appetite, increase energy, and more.
At Forum Health Medical Weight Loss we are dedicated to your weight loss journey in a way that helps you identify the root cause of your weight loss resistance, overcome it and attain optimal health in all areas of your life.
The Big Picture: Being Overweight or Obese Significantly Increases Risk for Health Issues
At the core of obesity is metabolic dysregulation and various obesity risk factors, conditions with far-reaching implications for well-being. The future of weight loss must include addressing the critical risks of being overweight or obese and how it’s linked to an increased risk of various health conditions, including certain cancers.
Unfortunately, weight loss hasn’t received the same urgency as leading causes of death and disease, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Surprisingly, these seemingly distinct health issues share a common thread: metabolic dysregulation.
For instance, individuals who are overweight or obese face a two-and-a-half times higher risk of heart disease, a 39% greater risk of developing dementia, and obesity stands as a primary risk factor for diabetes—all significant risk factors of obesity.
Obesity goes beyond aesthetics; it’s a public health crisis that quadruples the risk of developing serious health conditions and metabolic dysregulation, exacerbated by obesity, and is a risk factor for certain types of cancer.
While the connection between heart disease and obesity is widely acknowledged, the link between obesity and cancer often goes underestimated, with 13 different types of cancer associated with being overweight or obese.
Forum Health Medical Weight Loss identifies a critical missing piece in the weight loss puzzle—the absence of a whole-body approach. Conventional weight loss programs tend to focus solely on shedding pounds without a comprehensive analysis of the associated health risks of obesity.
At Forum Health Medical Weight Loss our programs are tailored to help you achieve lifelong solutions by correcting multiple factors that cause obesity – not just one. When everything is working together you achieve the best results and keep the weight off long term.
