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:
Restricting your caloric intake and getting regular exercise is essential for weight loss, but sometimes they’re not enough. Other biochemical factors work against you, making it hard to lose weight or keep it off. Here are just two examples:
Leptin is a hormone that controls your appetite and regulates how much fat your body burns. Weight gain often causes leptin resistance, which means fat burning slows down, and you have to work harder to lose weight.
Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates your appetite. When you lose weight, levels of ghrelin spike by nearly 23%, so you’re hungrier after losing weight, which makes it hard to keep the weight off.
At MyFaceLounge - medical aesthetics by MyFitMed, weight loss is approached holistically, with awareness of each patient’s unique needs and multiple types of support customized to help you achieve success. You’ll have a thorough evaluation — including bloodwork — to identify deficiencies or excesses of critical hormones and nutrients.
