Weight Loss at Living Wellness

Unwanted weight gain or difficulty with obtaining weight loss goals is a common problem. You may feel your weight is uncontrollable despite your best efforts, or that you don’t look and feel like your “real” self anymore. Maybe you’re concerned about the health issues that are associated with extra weight, such as cardiovascular issues, digestive ailments, cancer susceptibility, and fatigue. We know that getting the extra weight off in a healthy, sustainable way is important to you, and it is to us too. That’s why we will strive to find the right natural treatment plan for you that will help you lose weight and keep it at your optimal level for a lifetime. This way, you don’t have to worry about the long term health issues associated with being overweight.

The Living Wellness Approach

Our experience and clinical research show that the most effective way to achieve healthy weight loss naturally is with a multi-dimensional approach under the supervision of a physician. A common misconception is that weight gain is caused by increased caloric intake, and that an inability to lose weight indicates excess eating or low will power. This is not usually the case! There are many other factors involved in metabolism, such as:

• The quality of the calories consumed
• Micronutrient deficiencies in the metabolic pathways
• Stress and its mother hormone, cortisol
• Sleep quality and quantity
• Mood imbalances, such as depression from low serotonin or dopamine
• Food intolerances
• Toxic burden, which hinders liver function

At Living Wellness Medical Center, your weight loss plan will include a proven, foundational medical program, and it will also address your unique needs and health circumstances, such as those listed above.

To help you achieve your weight and health goals that will last a lifetime, you will receive an initial consultation to address your concerns and previous obstacles to weight loss; establish your short- and long-term goals, and create a plan that you can implement. Some of the tools we may use to complete your plan include:

• nutritional evaluation and diet modulation
• specialized lab testing
• stress reduction techniques
• exercise regimens
• toxin removal
• nutrient and herbal supplements

Our Naturopathic Doctors Are Experts on the Many Variables Involved in Weight Loss. Here Are Some of the Other Factors Involved in Weight Loss That May Be Addressed During Your Program:

Restore Insulin Sensitivity

• Aging causes our muscle cells to become resistant to insulin. The result is that insulin is less efficient at helping the cells in our muscles and liver store glucose. The result is chronically elevated blood glucose levels that convert to body fat.

Control Rate of Carbohydrate Absorption

• When excessive amounts of dietary carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream, a surge in blood glucose results, too much glucose causes excessive increases in insulin. This surplus insulin is associated with rebound hunger as blood glucose levels fall too low in response to insulin overload.

Balanced Brain Neurotransmitters

• When the brain has balanced levels of the hormone serotonin, satiety normally occurs. A serotonin deficiency has been associated with the carbohydrate binding that contributes to the accumulation of excess body fat.

Achieve Optimal Hormone Balance

• The high failure rate of dieting is partially attributable to the alteration in hormone levels that occurs as part of normal aging.
• Optimization of thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone is essential to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

Inhibiting Lipase and Binding Bile Acids

• Dietary fats are broken down for absorption into your bloodstream by the bile acids released by the liver into the small intestine and the enzyme lipase. Inhibiting lipase and binding bile acids results in fewer fat calories being absorbed and thus reduces the amount of fat stored in your adipocytes (fat cells).

Increase Physical Activity

• In addition to using up stored fat calories, exercise induces beneficial changes at the cellular level that contribute to weight control.
