The problem of weight gain is a comprehensive problem and is not due to just overeating or lack of exercise only. It really has to do with a multitude of factors involving: the lack of exercise, a stationary lifestyle, stresses in your life, the foods you eat, and the choices you make. Even food allergies, called delayed food sensitivity reactions, which the patient isn't even aware of, can change the way the gut lining transforms foods into absorbable nutrients. In some cases the mucosa is affected by a food allergy and you may not be aware of those foods that are not being digested appropriately, and therefore have no weight loss success. We call that "leaky gut syndrome" where those foods go directly into fat stores. This causes central adiposity, also called "mid-line bulge".
Weight loss success starts by identifying what food allergies the patient has with a simple blood sample. This blood test has revolutionized allergy testing, making skin scratch testing unnecessary in most instances. At that point, we incorporate an integrative approach to the weight loss management of a patient. In some cases we look at hormonal dysfunctions and imbalances because those imbalances can also affect the way that foods are processed and can affect the way fat stores are mobilized or not mobilized.
When you come to our practice in Sarasota, we will take a very comprehensive look at all the factors that affect your health. We employ homeopathic medicines where necessary, traditional medicines, dietary changes, and counseling regarding exercise and fitness, which all work together in order for you to have weight loss success. In some cases we use yoga and other relaxation techniques. Good sleep is important too because that will also affect your eating habits for the next day. Some weight loss management patients are also candidates and therefore, offered the Lap-Band™ procedure to assist them with a proven surgical option for rapid weight loss. This procedure is now being offered at our office in Sarasota on an out-patient basis in our facilities, performed by certified bariatric surgeons.
After taking a complete and thorough look at all of these factors, we can make a determination about a weight loss success program suitable for you and your lifestyle. Contact us today at our Sarasota office to schedule your consultation about weight loss management.
