What are good ways to lose weight?

Fad diets and starving yourself aren’t effective ways to lose weight. These plans are often unsuccessful and can make you gain weight later on. The best and most effective way to lose weight is through lifestyle changes and calorie control, with portions of specific food groups also playing an important role.

 

Although exercise helps and is an excellent tool for losing weight, your diet is the most significant component. Choosing healthy foods over processed, sugary foods is one step in the weight loss journey.

 

However, as important as a healthy diet is, it won’t be as effective if your metabolism remains slow. One of Dr. Jadali’s approaches to weight loss is optimizing your metabolism naturally. Additionally, optimizing your gut health plays an essential role in weight loss. In our clinic, we have access to specific tests to assess and optimize your gut metabolism.

Keeping a food diary helps you see what you’re eating and when. This allows the practice to customize your meal plan and weight loss goal.

Stress and sleep also play prominent roles in weight. Reducing your overall stress and making sure you’re sleeping enough helps you stay on track and lose weight gradually.

What are the consequences of obesity?

Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic problem — it also leads to health risks. Excess weight puts pressure on your joints, causing arthritis and other joint problems, including pain. But your joints are only one piece of the puzzle.

Myriad other health issues arise when you’re obese. These health problems include:

  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Sleep apnea
  • High cholesterol
  • Some types of cancer
  • Mental illness
  • Gallbladder disease

Chronic pain sometimes also stems from obesity. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems are either triggered by or worsened by obesity. 

How does medical weight loss work?

The first step in medical weight loss is to evaluate your current standing in several health aspects. Dr. Jadali fully evaluates your gut microbiome environment via specialized labs that analyze the gene expression of your digestive system.

Next, Dr. Jadali will complete an analysis of your body’s metabolic systems through a series of specialized blood works.

Before discussing food intake, the last and final step is evaluating the effect of your hormones, sugar metabolism, and all its associated markers to establish a map of your metabolic panel.
