Obesity

Defined as an excess of body fat that can negatively impact health, obesity is often the result of a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. It can manifest in various ways, affecting not only physical appearance but also overall well-being and quality of life.

How Does It Work?

What does root cause medicine focus on in treating obesity?

Root cause medicine aims to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to obesity, such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, emotional triggers, and lifestyle habits. By understanding these root causes, we can create a personalized treatment plan that promotes sustainable weight loss and overall health, rather than just focusing on short-term dieting or quick fixes.

How are lifestyle factors assessed in root cause treatment for obesity?

In root cause treatment, lifestyle factors are thoroughly evaluated through detailed assessments, including dietary habits, physical activity levels, sleep quality, and stress management. This holistic approach helps identify specific areas for improvement, allowing for targeted interventions that can effectively support weight loss and long-term health.

What role does nutrition play in the root cause treatment of obesity?

Nutrition is a cornerstone of root cause treatment for obesity. A personalized dietary approach focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods that support metabolic health and help regulate hunger signals. By identifying food sensitivities, improving meal timing, and emphasizing balanced macronutrients, we aim to create sustainable eating habits that promote weight loss and enhance overall well-being. This tailored nutritional strategy not only addresses obesity but also fosters a healthier lifestyle.
