Weight Loss

It certainly isn’t news that there’s an obesity epidemic going on in our society. While there’s much printed about it in the news, what often isn’t addressed is that overweight and obesity, as conditions, are multi-factoral in how they arise, and as such a multi-factoral approach must be taken when making lasting healthy change.

If you’ve tried altering your diet, Weight Watchers and other groups, done a “cleanse” or even taken medication to lose, and still haven’t had a breakthrough, this could be the time you make lasting change.

Hormonal disregulation is a factor that often is not addressed in simple calorie restriction and exercise programs. Once a person is over 20 lbs. overweight, chemicals called adipokines are secreted that begin to disregulate one’s entire system. Added to that;  aging, stress, poor thyroid function, menopause or andropause, can all be contributors along with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Each person’s challenges are different. While genes play some role, more often it is that specific lifestyle changes need to be implemented that are not only do-able, but that are a good fit for the things that matter most to you. This isn’t a one size fits all “diet.” Rather than think of it as something you do for awhile and then go back to your old routine, it is an exploration of your life, your goals, your activities, your readiness for change, your posture and conformation challenges ( i.e. what kind of exercise and how much or how vigorous is right for you at this time in your life, with your body and it’s history of injuries?)...it is a therapeutic lifestyle intervention that will head you off in a totally new direction and keep you going that way. You’ll want to, because you will feel so good. It is important that you understand body composition change; more muscle, less fat.
