What are the health risks of being overweight?

Carrying extra weight places significant stress on your bones, muscles, and joints. Your risk of knee osteoarthritis increases fourfold with every 10 pounds of excess weight.

Fat cells produce hormones and other biochemicals that affect your metabolism and influence systems throughout your body. As excess weight creates an imbalance in these substances, your risk of developing the following conditions increases:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Endometrial, breast, prostate and colon cancers

Why is it Hard to Lose Weight?

Weight loss isn’t always straightforward. While reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity are essential, other biochemical factors can work against you, making it difficult to shed pounds or maintain weight loss. Two key examples include:

• Leptin Resistance: Leptin is the hormone that helps regulate your appetite and controls how much fat your body burns. However, weight gain can lead to leptin resistance, causing fat burning to slow down, which makes losing weight more challenging.
• Ghrelin Increase: Ghrelin, known as the “hunger hormone,” stimulates your appetite. After losing weight, ghrelin levels can increase by nearly 23%, leaving you hungrier and making it harder to keep the weight off.

Comprehensive Weight Loss Support at Careprime Clinic

Our approach to weight loss is holistic, personalized, and based on each patient’s unique needs. At Careprime Clinic, we begin with a thorough evaluation, including bloodwork, to assess hormone and nutrient levels that could impact your weight loss efforts. Based on this assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan that may include one or more of the following options:

• Semaglutide and Other Weight Loss Injections: These injections work by regulating appetite and metabolism, making them highly effective for weight management.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy: We restore hormone levels to their optimal balance, addressing any deficiencies that may be hindering your weight loss progress.
• Phentermine: This FDA-approved appetite suppressant helps accelerate weight loss by reducing hunger.
• Dietary and Nutritional Counseling: Our experts help you create a meal plan that restricts calories while ensuring you receive the necessary nutrients. We also offer guidance on maintaining healthy eating habits for long-term success.
