eXPERT WEIGHT LOSS BEYOND JUST MEDICATIONS
take your weight and health to the next level
Weight loss is a hot topic lately with more and more insurances covering weight loss medications. These medications are also being made by independent compounding pharmacies and can be obtained cheaper than the commercial formulations. There are other medications proven to be effective for weight loss and some that are not so effective. At Direct Connect Primary Care, I can find and prescribe the right medication for you. The issue lies with those who don’t lose as much as they want or need, and those who can not tolerate the medications due to side effects. When a person is not losing weight without the help of medications or is not able to lose the amount of weight they would like, it means they ( and those helping them) do not understand what is causing their weight gain or inability to lose the amount of weight they would like. I can identify your barriers and motivate you overcome them.
what it takes to maintian a healthy weight
food
The majority of weight management is what we eat. simply reducing food and/or calories intake will only get a person so far. One MUST change what they consider food and how they consider food to affect their bodies for lasting healthy weight maintenance.
self talk
Research has shown that negative self talk contributes to weight gain and inability to lose weight. There is a complex neurochemical and hormonal process at work that impedes healthy weight maintenance when we think poorly of ourselves.
Physical activity
Exercise is a small, but non-the-less important aspect of maintaining a healthy weight. It is not as simple as it sounds though. Exercise is necessary for a strong immune system, resilience against stress, and optimal metabolic functioning.
sleep
The National Institutes of Health find that the average US adult gets less than 7 hours of sleep at night. Sleep is necessary for the body to repair, mitigate stress, and build healthy muscle.
inflammation
A myriad of substances that can be ingested, inhaled, and absorbed can cause inflammation that leads to weight gain, chronic pain, brain fog, concentration difficulties, infertility, and fatigue.
for weight loss assistance, you can utilize as much or as little time as you need.
