It’s no secret that obesity is linked to numerous health complications, but did you know obesity of often a symptom of inflammation and hormone imbalance? Therefore, weight loss may be one of the most impactful steps you can take for your health if you are overweight. However, weight loss does not always come easy. You may have tried numerous diet programs in the past or experienced newfound struggles maintaining a healthy weight as you get older. At El Con Health and Wellness, we offer a functional weight loss approach that can help you succeed with sustainable, long-term weight loss that can transform your health.
Our providers offer a more comprehensive approach to weight management—we have a registered dietician on staff, and we can prescribe medication as well as vitamin supplements that can boost your weight loss and help you feel your best.
While there are many diet programs out there promising dramatic results, these often aren’t sustainable methods of weight loss. Fad diets don’t cater to different dietary needs, and they are not typically programs that are easily followed for a long period of time. The biggest issue is they don’t use the body’s natural physiology to address weight loss. They also ignore the underlying inflammation and other root causes of excess body fat. Therefore, as soon as you enter the maintenance phase of the diet, you’re likely to gain all the weight back. With functional weight loss, your journey will begin with a complete assessment of your health, including a hormonal panel to determine if hormonal changes are causing weight gain or interfering with your ability to lose weight. This assessment will help customize a program to your needs, so you can see lasting results.
Your functional weight management program will likely include several components, such as education in the physiology of weight gain and loss, lab reviews, healing inflammation, and prescription medications such as Low Dose Naltrexone if warranted.
Phentermine is an FDA-approved appetite suppressant that may be prescribed as part of your medical weight loss plan. This medication helps to eliminate common roadblocks to losing weight, such as food cravings and overeating. It should not be used as a standalone solution for weight loss, but rather as a part of developing new behaviors and habits related to food and exercise. Phentermine works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and certain neurotransmitters to naturally decrease your appetite and reduce food cravings. This is not the only option, and may not be suitable for everyone.
You may also utilize vitamin supplements like Biotin and Vitamin D3 injections. These vitamin cocktails offer nutritional support to boost weight loss, increase energy, and improve blood glucose levels. Our providers can help you decide which vitamin injections are right for your weight loss goals, so you can get on the path to success.
