Today I got consulted by a 56 year-old overweight entrepreneur who is suffering from severe joint deterioration of his knee. The pressure on the joints caused by overweight leads to premature wear of the cartilage. His diabetes (type 2) is probably the result of a diet rich in starch and sugar. How will we help him?
The first step is weight reduction. A comprehensive blood analysis can reveal hormonal imbalances which could hinder weight loss. If this is the case, rebalancing using bioidentical hormones together with a reduced-calorie Paleolithic diet is recommendable. In addition, special dietary supplements can help in losing weight.
Weight loss can often facilitated by liposuction of diet-resistant “problem areas” of the body. Adipose tissue produces the hormone estrogen which promotes fat deposition and is available in excess in many overweight people. In addition, gentle microcannular liposuction can improve regression of the skin and reduce the formation of unwanted skin pockets.
