Weight loss clinic - Balance Health Clinic

At the Balance Health Clinic, we are dedicated to helping individuals achieve sustainable fat loss and improved wellbeing through our cutting-edge medical weight loss program. As leaders in hormone health and optimization, we understand the complex biological factors that contribute to excess fat storage and make weight loss challenging.

Understanding Weight Gain and Obesity

Being overweight or obese puts individuals at higher risk for developing numerous health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. However, losing weight can be incredibly difficult for many people due to factors such as hormonal imbalances and a slowed metabolism.

Our specialized team first performs comprehensive lab testing and assessments to uncover potential hormonal contributors to weight gain in each patient. We carefully evaluate common culprits like low testosterone or thyroid dysfunction, as well as other issues that sabotage fat loss attempts, such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies.

Armed with personalized data, our practitioners can then develop customized treatment plans to address the root causes of obesity for each individual. This personalized approach is why our medical weight loss programs are far more effective than frustrating, restrictive dieting attempts.

Weight Loss Medications

In addition to expert-guided lifestyle and diet modifications, we may incorporate powerful prescription weight loss medications into patient protocols when appropriate. One of our most successful options is semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the activity of glucagon-like peptide-1.

Semaglutide has been shown to facilitate 15-17% body weight reduction over 68 weeks in clinical trials, vastly exceeding results from lifestyle interventions alone. It works by slowing gastric emptying, reducing food cravings, and stimulating the release of thyroid hormones to amp up the basal metabolic rate.

While common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur initially, semaglutide can help patients finally overcome lifelong battles with obesity when combined with nutritional counseling and fitness guidance under medical supervision.

Maria's Success Story

After struggling with my weight since puberty and trying every diet out there, I had all but given up hope. But finding Balance Health Clinic changed everything...

Despite being active in sports and enjoying bike riding as a family, Maria couldn't get control of her eating or weight. She assumed she simply lacked self-control and willpower.

After her doctor warned her that conceiving and delivering a healthy baby would be much harder and higher-risk due to her size, Maria's cousin recommended she get evaluated for hormonal issues contributing to her obesity at Balance Health Clinic.

Through extensive laboratory testing, Balance Health Clinic uncovered that Maria's weight struggles were caused by hormonal imbalances such as estrogen dominance, low progesterone, high cortisol, borderline hypothyroidism, and severely depleted vitamin D.

With this information, Balance Health Clinic crafted a personalized program featuring a tailored nutrition plan, hormone-optimizing medications, high-quality supplements, accountability tracking, and ongoing medical supervision.

Six months later, Maria had lost 76 pounds, and over the next ten months, she lost an incredible total of 125 pounds. Beyond the number on the scale, every aspect of her health and life massively changed, including lowered disease risk factors, a healthy pregnancy, improved confidence and intimacy, joint pain resolution, regulated appetite signals, and optimized hormone levels.

Most importantly, Maria has kept the weight off thanks to what she learned through Balance Health Clinic' guidance. "Losing weight is one thing, but keeping it off long-term is the real indicator of a program's success," she says. "I'm so grateful I invested in myself and worked with people who treated me as an individual. Understanding the 'why' behind my lifelong battle with obesity empowered me to finally win!"
