If you struggle to lose weight and keep it off, you’re certainly not alone. A number of factors combine to make it easy to put on weight and challenging to reverse that trend. 
The American food supply is partly to blame. In most parts of the country, fast food is readily available almost around the clock. Grocery shelves are filled with highly processed foods, often with confusing labeling and questionable health claims. 

Many people spend hours each day in front of one screen or another, whether for school, work, or recreation. Getting outside and staying active is not always easy. Factor in poor sleep quality and high-stress levels, and you have the perfect environment for weight gain. 

All of these aspects of life lay the foundation for weight gain, but the true reason for obesity is the hormonal dysregulation of fat which is known as the hormonal obesity theory. This approach takes a different look at weight loss management and goes beyond the theory of caloric imbalance. 

You’ve probably tried a number of diet and exercise plans over the years. You may even have achieved a degree of success, only to watch the pounds return as soon as you waver from the program. 

We don't rely on fad diets or extreme exercise routines to deliver results. The emphasis is on finding ways to improve your daily habits incrementally that reduce insulin resistance and how your body uses food to create energy. We achieved this by creating a two month program. Our medical weight loss program or what we like to call our health program positions you for lasting success. To not only help you lose weight but decrease your risk of chronic illnesses.

Weight loss and being healthy isn’t simply a matter of “calories in-calories out.” Obesity and chronic illness stem from various factors, with hormone imbalance being a significant contributor.
