Weight Gain

Weight Gain in Men

Trying to lose weight when hormones are out of balance is like pushing a heavy rock up a steep hill. The more out of balance your hormones, the steeper the hill.

Facts

1. Hormones control metabolism. And metabolism controls how efficiently your body burns calories.
2. Hormones directly impact your ability to maintain muscle mass. Because muscle burns more calories than fat, less muscle means a slower metabolism.
3. Hormones control your desire and willingness to be active.

Treatment for Weight Gain

Here’s our approach:

1. Our physicians make sure hormones like testosterone, thyroid, and estrogen are balanced to healthy levels.
2. We encourage our clients to minimize consumption of refined carbohydrates. Refined carbs trigger insulin production, and excess insulin encourages the body to hold onto fat.
3. We encourage our clients to establish a regular exercise routine if they don’t already have one. Physical activity burns calories, builds muscle, and revs up your metabolism. Balanced hormones will supply the energy you need for being more active.
4. We encourage our clients to manage stress as much as possible. Imbalanced stress hormones signal the body to retain fat.
5. Our physicians will offer other weight loss solutions as appropriate for you, like semaglutide and injectable nutrients.

Start by letting us fix your hormones. Then pick manageable pieces of the total puzzle and work on them until they become habit. Remember that everyone falls off the wagon from time-to-time. When it comes to weight loss, it’s those who persist that succeed.
