Weight loss refers to the process of reducing the amount of fat in your body. Excessive body fat is linked to chronic health issues, but managing your weight through a physician-recommended and monitored weight loss program can lower your risks.
Even if you already have health conditions related to your habits or weight, altering your habits and losing weight through an individualized medical weight-loss program can help you manage or even eradicate some of those conditions.
During your consultation at Lions OpTimal Health, our provider - Jason Schmidthuber PA-C - reviews your medical history and evaluates your current health before asking about your weight loss goals. This helps ensure your weight loss plan is tailored to meet your needs.
Excess weight is a common issue that many individuals face, but it's essential to understand the risks associated with carrying extra pounds, particularly belly fat. Unlike subcutaneous fat located just beneath the skin, belly fat includes visceral fat that surrounds your internal organs deep within the abdomen.
Regardless of your overall weight, having a significant amount of belly fat can increase your susceptibility to various health conditions, including:
When it comes to weight management, multiple factors come into play. The number of calories you consume throughout the day and the amount you burn off through physical activity are crucial determinants.
As you age, maintaining a healthy weight becomes more challenging due to the loss of muscle mass, especially if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. This decrease in muscle mass results in a slower calorie burn rate, making weight maintenance more difficult.
According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, men in their 50s require around 200 fewer calories per day than those in their 30s due to this muscle loss.
At Lions OpTimal Health, we believe in developing personalized weight loss plans that address your unique circumstances. We begin by reviewing your medical history and evaluating your current health status during a consultation with our provider.
This allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your goals and design a weight loss plan that suits your needs. Our weight loss plans can incorporate various strategies to help you achieve your goals.
These strategies may include:
Dietary Changes: Making modifications to your diet is crucial for successful weight loss. Our team will guide you in making healthier food choices, reducing calorie intake, and minimizing processed foods. By improving your metabolism and reducing body fat, you can experience significant improvements in your overall health.
Exercise: Regular physical activity is an essential component of any weight loss journey. Our team at Lions OpTimal Health encourages incorporating exercise into your routine to boost your metabolism and enhance your weight loss efforts. We can provide guidance on suitable exercises and help you create a workout plan that fits your lifestyle.
Hormones, Supplements, and Peptides: Depending on your specific needs, your weight loss plan may involve the use of hormones, supplements, and peptides. These additional tools can support your weight loss journey and optimize your results. Our knowledgeable team will determine if these options are appropriate for you and guide you in their usage.
It's important to remember each individual's weight loss journey is unique, and there is no set timeline for reaching your goals. Your weight loss plan at Lions OpTimal Health is tailored to address what your body needs by taking into account factors such as your starting weight, endpoint goal, and overall health.
During your consultation and throughout your weight loss program, our providers will provide an estimate of how long it may take to achieve your desired results. However, our focus extends beyond simply reaching a specific weight.
We emphasize the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits that will benefit your long-term health and promote longevity. Our aim is to empower you to make permanent changes that support a healthy weight and overall well-being.
