Weight Loss Treatments in Bingham Farms and Rochester
Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals the Natural Way in Rochester and Bingham Farms
Naturopathic and functional medicine are holistic approaches to healthcare that focus on root causes of disease and the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
But what does this type of medicine have to do with weight loss? Many people mistakenly believe that if they eat vegetables or cut calories, then they will easily shed pounds. Here’s the problem with that way of thinking. Most people’s bodies aren’t functioning at peak health, and these underlying conditions are sabotaging your weight loss goals.
Whether your hormones are imbalanced or your current diet isn’t meeting your nutritional needs, the team at the Longevity Health Institute is here to get to the bottom of your weight loss questions.
Beyond the science of weight loss, we’re here to support you in your health goals. Losing weight on your own can be a challenge. It’s easier and more sustainable when you follow a custom-tailored wellness plan created by a doctor who knows you well.
Weight loss treatments are available at our Bingham Farms and Rochester locations. Your first appointment with our naturopathic team is just a phone call away.
Why Traditional Weight Loss Treatments Don’t Work
Traditional weight loss programs often rely on strict diets, intense exercise regimens, and even weight loss surgeries to help people shed unwanted pounds. While these approaches may be effective in the short term, they often fail to produce lasting results.
Naturopathic medicine, on the other hand, takes a more comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying causes of weight gain, including poor nutrition, stress, hormonal imbalances, and more.
In other words, your weight might be a symptom of a deeper issue. If we can treat the root cause, then we can kickstart your weight loss process.
Why You’re Not Losing Weight
There are several underlying health reasons that contribute to unsuccessful attempts at losing weight. While exercise and proper nutrition will always be part of a holistic weight loss treatment, we want to look at every factor affecting your body composition and weight.
One of the most prevalent factors affecting weight loss is an underactive thyroid, which can slow down metabolism and make it more difficult to burn calories. Other hormonal imbalances, such as high levels of cortisol, can also interfere with weight loss. Additionally, insulin resistance, which is often associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type 2 diabetes, can make it challenging for the body to process carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels, leading to weight gain. Finally, gut health issues, such as imbalanced gut bacteria or inflammation, can affect digestion and nutrient absorption, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight.
Thankfully, all of these underlying conditions can be treated with naturopathic and functional medicine.
How Naturopathic Medicine Kickstarts Your Weight Loss Treatment in Bingham Farms and Rochester
The Longevity Health Institute in Bingham Farms and Rochester uses a number of interventions to help people just like you achieve their weight loss goals. Here are some of our most common services.
HCG Weight Loss Program
What if you could burn body fat, lose a pound a day, and be less hungry? The hCG Weight Loss Program uses the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone as an appetite suppressant while simultaneously burning fat, with a goal of improving metabolism and detoxing the body. But there is also an educational element involved so every patient knows how the foods they ingest affect their body. This knowledge is one of the most essential elements when it comes to maintaining weight loss results after a weight loss program has come to an end.
The hCG program is often recommended for people who have had trouble losing weight – or keeping weight off – with any other methods. The program is very strict and the diets are low-calorie. This weight-loss method should only be conducted under the supervision of a physician.
Inbody Composition Analysis
When you need to have a visual aid to get on the right path to weight loss and good health, the Inbody Composition Analysis will be a major asset. This thorough but easy analysis takes only 45 seconds to gather all the detailed information it needs about your body as you stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes.
Body composition analysis is just one piece of the non-invasive and pain-free Inbody Composition Analysis. Fat, muscle, and water levels are measured. There is an obesity analysis, segmental lean and fat analyses, and calculations about the visceral fat area, leg lean mass, basal metabolic rate, and more. The results tell healthcare professionals what elements really make up your weight so the right weight management plan can be developed specifically for your needs.
Nutritional Coaching
Common sense tells you what you should be eating, but poor cooking skills, insufficient knowledge of healthy foods, and fear of failure often keep people from eating right for their body type. What you put in your body directly affects how your body functions and feels. The better you eat, the better you will feel. Good nutrition isn’t about depriving yourself or eating tasteless foods in the smallest portions, it’s about making the healthiest foods part of your lifestyle.
Years of unhealthy habits don’t change overnight. Through nutritional coaching, you can learn about the pros and cons of the foods you ingest and have the support you need to develop healthy eating habits and successful meal planning tools for a lifetime. Individualized nutrition plans will support your nutrition goals while helping you develop good eating habits that you can – happily – sustain.
Don’t Forget about Weight Management
Weight loss is not always the healthiest option for all patients. People who have been diagnosed with certain chronic illnesses may need to add weight or stay within a specific range in order to maximize their quality of life. But when every weight loss plan is customized to your individual needs, weight management isn’t an issue. Let us know your goals and we will adjust as necessary.
Personalized Wellness Plans Are the Foundation of a Successful Weight Management Journey
Everyone’s body and lifestyle are unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. By customizing your treatment plan, the Longevity Health Institute team can address the specific needs, preferences, and challenges of each individual. This approach may include a combination of dietary changes, exercise programs, stress management techniques, and supplements or medications, depending on the individual’s health status, goals, and preferences. With a personalized treatment plan, the patient is more likely to adhere to the program, achieve sustainable weight loss, and improve overall health outcomes.
