Here at Alevizos Medical, Dr. John Alevizos and our caring team offer answers about why it’s so hard to lose weight. By delving into your specific body chemistry and detecting hormone imbalances, we craft personalized weight loss solutions that can help you succeed at last.
This month, our blog delves into the connection between hormone imbalances and weight to help you understand why you’re struggling.
When it feels like the scale won't budge no matter what you do, hormone imbalances might be playing a bigger role than you realize. Understanding how hormones impact weight loss can be eye-opening for people trying to shed those stubborn pounds.
Your body relies on a delicate balance of hormones to function normally. Some of the hormones involved in weight management and how they can inhibit weight loss are:
At Alevizos Medical, we’re hormone experts who know how to detect the source of your weight struggles.
If you’re having difficulty losing weight, our team uses a comprehensive process to find out why and address the root causes. We start with a complete medical history review, including your family’s medical history.
The next step is lab testing to check your hormone levels. Our experts evaluate your test results and use that information to create a customized hormone therapy plan for you.
Every person’s hormone levels are different, and that’s why we believe one-size-fits-all hormone therapy isn’t the best route. We work with a leading compounding pharmacy to create the ideal hormone-balancing formula for you. Your hormone replacement plan is unique to you.
We monitor your body’s response and adjust as needed to optimize your hormone levels.
While hormone balance lays the foundation for weight loss, we also provide extra support tailored to you.
Some of the most common weight loss approaches we use include prescription phentermine, an oral appetite suppressant, and the hCG diet, which combines a very low-calorie diet with hCG injections to promote rapid weight loss.
With the combination of balanced hormones and a personalized weight loss plan, many of our patients achieve their weight loss goals and maintain a healthy weight for the long term.
Hormone balancing can help you lose weight while also relieving other hormone-related problems like hot flashes, mood swings, and low sex drive.
