If you have been struggling to lose weight on your own, you are not alone. Many people wrestle with the burden of losing weight that may be affecting their physical and mental health. Medical weight loss can provide substantial results if navigating traditional weight loss methods on your own has not been effective.
LifeGaines Med Spa Boca Raton servicing West Palm Beach takes a comprehensive approach towards weight loss. Whether you are feeling motivated to achieve a healthier lifestyle, or feel frustrated by the lack of results, we are here to help.
One of the biggest obstacles you face when attempting to control obesity is the fact that there are a myriad of causes. Our approach evaluates and treats all possible factors that can affect excess age-related fat storage, thus maximizing your weight loss results.
Obesity experts are advising more and more patients to utilize a new approach to weight control and weight loss that involves a multi-step strategy. Similar to a healthcare professional treating illnesses such as hypertension, heart disease, and cancer, our expert physicians will approach your weight loss with a combination of medicines designed to help you achieve the results you want.
Physiology and Age-Related Fat Gain
Because there are many factors that can lead to weight gain as you age, it’s important to understand what your body experiences as you age, and how different solutions will affect your journey to health differently.
Hormonal Imbalances
As you age, your hormones can start to serve your body less due to deficiencies or excesses, which can lead to obesity. A comprehensive evaluation of your hormone levels can be used to assess imbalances and help you with weight loss.
Diet and Nutrition Assessment
At the simplest level, medical experts will need to evaluate your diet and nutrition with the use of detailed and comprehensive blood work. This will allow them to check for specific deficiencies and excesses in your food intake that can contribute to obesity.
Adequate Sleep
Oftentimes, it becomes harder and harder to get a good night’s rest as we age. If your body isn’t repairing itself while you sleep, it will have trouble helping you lose weight during the day.
Stress Reduction
Studies have shown that it is difficult for bodies under stress to lose weight. It is during these stressful times that our bodies tend to hoard calories and extra fat. Finding ways to reduce stress can be key to your weight loss.
Inflammation
Oxidative stress and DNA damage as you age are major contributing factors to inflammation and weight gain. These can, however, be combated with the use of supplements and nutraceuticals.
Cellular Insulin Resistance
As you age, your cells can become unable to absorb glucose as efficiently as they once did. This prevents proper energy production and can lead to high insulin levels, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Certain seaweed extracts can encourage fat loss by blocking the enzyme (alpha-glucosidase) that contributes to the absorption of carbohydrates.
Basal Expenditure Rate
The rate by which energy is metabolized and consumed on the cellular level is known as the Basal Expenditure Rate. Your body’s resting Basal Expenditure Rate decreases by 2% after you reach the age of 40. Solutions such as green tea Phytosome inhibit fat absorption and reduce fat storage.
Cell Response to Food and Additives
An ALCAT test can help us assess responses your cells have to foods. If you have any intolerances, it can lead to inflammation, premature aging, autoimmunity, and even tissue and DNA damage.
Leptin and Adiponectin Resistance
The way your body processes leptin and adiponectin is crucial for successful weight loss. If they aren’t processed correctly you might experience increased appetite and fat deposits. Dr. Gaines can prescribe products to reduce appetite levels and help you effectively lose weight.
Exercise
Even though we all know exercise is important, our ability to participate in exercises starts to decline. At LifeGaines we offer safe wellness therapies and effective regimens to help you lose weight in a way that is most accommodating to you and your lifestyle. As a result, you will feel more excited about exercising and will be able to reach your goals.
