Obesity is not just about appearance — it’s a complex medical condition that affects hormones, metabolism, and long-term health. At Endo Health Clinic, we treat obesity as a serious factor in endocrine health.
How Obesity Affects Hormones
- Diabetes Risk: Obesity is the leading cause of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.
- Thyroid Health: Extra body fat can alter thyroid function, complicating weight management further.
- Hormone Production: Fat cells release hormones and inflammatory signals that disturb the body’s balance.
- Reproductive Health: Hormonal imbalances linked to obesity can cause irregular cycles, fertility problems, or low testosterone.
Management Strategies
- Personalized Nutrition Plans: Instead of fad diets, we focus on balanced, evidence-based eating patterns.
- Structured Exercise Programs: Even modest activity improves insulin sensitivity and hormone balance.
- Medical Support: We may prescribe weight-loss medications or, in certain cases, recommend surgical options.
- Behavioral Coaching: Stress, sleep, and emotional health all play a big role in long-term success.
Clinic Update: New Program Launch
We’re introducing a comprehensive obesity management program that combines medical evaluation, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing coaching. Patients will also have the option to join group workshops focusing on meal planning and healthy habits.
