Whether you’ve been struggling to lose weight or set the resolution to shed extra pounds this year, weight loss isn’t always straightforward. Despite what diet pills and other “magic” solutions may tell you, there’s no shortcut to reaching an ideal weight. But, with natural, sustainable methods, you can reach your goal weight and keep those pounds off for good. 

Here, we’ll discuss the benefits of a natural approach to sustainable weight loss, in the New Year and beyond! 

Internal Factors Affecting Weight Loss

Do traditional weight loss programs tend to leave you discouraged? You may be dealing with underlying problems—such as issues with your thyroid, neurotransmitters, adrenal glands, or hormone levels—that sabotage weight loss efforts. Most weight loss programs don’t test for these problems, leaving patients in the dark about factors affecting their ability to lose weight. 

At The Center for Natural & Integrative Medicine, our initial consultations include a detailed assessment and state-of-the-art testing. This gives us a complete picture of your health and allows us to address potential roadblocks on the way to a healthy weight. 

We use the results of this testing to devise a personalized weight loss program, including:

• Education about the types of food that will work best for your body, as well as the role of nutrition and exercise.

• Lifestyle modifications to build long-term, sustainable habits and results. We focus on gradual, attainable steps that promote permanent weight loss. 

• Thought processes to amend unhealthy thinking patterns and foster a positive mindset. 

• Practical application strategies to help you implement healthy lifestyle habits, even on your most stressful days. 

• Maintenance with help from a provider to ensure your results are sustainable. 

We’re here to help you not only lose weight, but also address the root cause of prevalent health issues and improve your general well-being. Contact us today to get started!
