Why is weight loss hard for me?

Weight loss is hard because diet and exercise aren’t always enough. Obesity, a complex disease, can be influenced by multiple factors, including:

• Genetics - Your DNA can play a significant role in how your body stores and burns fat, making weight loss more challenging for some.
• Medical History - Conditions like hormonal imbalances or medications can impact your ability to shed pounds.
• Age & Sex - Metabolism slows with age, and hormonal differences between sexes can affect weight loss outcomes.

At ALIVA Weight Loss, our obesity medicine specialists take a personalized approach, addressing the unique factors that make weight loss difficult for you.

What Tools can Support my Weight Loss Journey?

Our gastroenterologists at ALIVA Weight Loss provide a comprehensive evaluation to create a tailored weight loss plan. Here’s how we help:

• Thorough Evaluation - We start with a detailed consultation, reviewing your weight history, past weight loss attempts, medical history, and goals. A physical exam helps us understand your unique needs.
• Nutrition & Exercise Guidance - Nutrition and exercise are the pillars of sustainable weight loss. We teach you about nutrition and discuss a eating plan tailored to your tastes, lifestyle, and budget, alongside an exercise program that matches your fitness level.
