Excessive body weight is one of the major health problems in our Western world. It is the cause of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, wear and tear of joints and other widespread diseases of civilization.
We were able to diagnose hormonal imbalances in many of our overweight patients.
The efficiency of the thyroid gland plays a very important role in this. Functional impairment of the thyroid gland, as a consequence of its inflammation, for example, is frequently the cause of persistent excessive weight levels. The whole body often appears to be swollen, which is an indication of thyroid gland problems. When the body receives insufficient supplies of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) over a number of years, other endocrine glands may also become overly taxed in the long term, leading to more wide-ranging health problems.
Unhealthy eating, a lack of exercise and other negative lifestyle habits can also cause people to become overweight.
After the hormonal balance has been restored by way of Hormonal Regeneration® using bioidentical hormones, successful results can be achieved in a short time, usually with a combination of carefully planned changes in nutritional habits and regular physical training. A person’s desired weight can thus be achieved and maintained long-term.
Before weight is reduced, gentle liposuction can be of use for troublesome local problem zones. The liposuction reduces estrogen-producing fat pads on the belly and hips – these pads facilitate fat accumulation and can trigger further rounds of weight increase.
If liposuction is planned, this should be carried out before and not after weight loss.
A program of medically assisted weight loss can typically last for several months. During therapy, you will keep a nutrition diary and will be in contact with us on a continual basis. The success of your treatment will be regularly controlled and therapy adapted to your needs during the course of treatment.
