Why is it that studies show that 95% of people who lose weight will gain it all back within the first 18 months? Why is it so difficult to lose weight and then actually keep it off? The answer is a combination of several factors including metabolism, lifestyle, diet, and exercise. Regardless, almost 60% of adults in the United States are overweight, so the old way of doing things, specifically monitoring calories versus calories out, simply does not work.
At IMNY, we have a different and more successful approach than traditional medicine while factors such as diet, exercise, metabolism, and genetics are all considered. The key component to losing weight and keeping it off is hormonal balance.
Hormones play a significant role in weight loss by influencing metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked. Simply stated, without evaluating and balancing your hormones, sustained weight loss is almost impossible.
One option that is possible in our medical weight loss program is semaglutide we utilize in our medical weight loss program is Semaglutide. The introduction to medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide has revolutionized the whole area of weight control and weight loss. At this point the future availability of these medications is unclear, and we will use them judiciously as they are available.
These are FDA approved medications that have been shown promising results in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. These can certainly be part of a weight loss program. Our trained healthcare professionals can guide you through the proper use of these medications when appropriate, ensuring that you receive optimal results while taking the medications safely.
To lose weight and keep it off, one needs the proper testing. At IMNY, we know how to do that.
