4 Reasons to Seek Professional Weight-Loss Support
The world of weight loss can be incredibly confusing as you sift through products and services that all promise to help you lose weight — quickly and easily. Yet your experiences have been far from successful, and you’re still carrying extra pounds.
We can assure you that your trials and tribulations with weight loss mirror millions of others, as nearly 1 in 3 American adults is overweight and more than 2 in 5 have obesity.
If you’re serious about losing weight and you want to trade the fad diets for evidence-based solutions, you’re in the right place. While we focus on cardiovascular health here at Humble Cardiology Associates, Dr. Madaiah Revana and our team recognize that your weight can influence your heart health, so we want to empower our patients to take charge of their wellness through our professional weight-loss services.
Here are just a few reasons why enlisting our help to lose weight makes the best sense.
1. The potential consequences of carrying extra pounds may be serious
One of the main reasons we want you to get medical help for your weight loss is because carrying extra pounds isn’t just a cosmetic concern. Being overweight or having obesity can lead to serious and life-changing complications, such as:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Stroke and heart attack
- Hypertension
- Cholesterol issues
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
- Premature arthritis
- Certain cancers
- Liver and/or kidney disease
- Sexual dysfunction
- Breathing issues
Each of these conditions counts being overweight as one of the primary risk factors, so we want you to view weight loss as being something that’s good for your overall health and wellness.
2. Weight loss triggers a cascade of health benefits
Going in the opposite direction, we want to emphasize some of the advantages of losing weight. In fact, losing just 5% to 10% of your overall body weight can trigger a cascade of health benefits, such as:
- Improved blood sugar levels
- Lower blood pressure
- Improved cholesterol
- Less pressure on your joints
- Less risk for certain cancers
- Better sleep
- Increased energy
These are just the tip of the iceberg and there are plenty of other great health benefits that come with weight loss.
3. We give you access to the results-based tools you need
Now that we’ve covered the benefits of weight loss from a health perspective, let’s zero in on why you should seek our help with losing weight.
About half the population in the United States has tried to lose weight during the past year, but given that much of our population is still overweight, these efforts are falling short.
We feel that this is because people aren’t taking enough advantage of evidence-based and science-based tools that help you lose weight the right way. And keep it off.
At our practice, we make sure you have the tools you need to successfully lose pounds, such as prescription weight-loss medications, as well as programs like Suddenly Slim® and FirstFitness Nutrition®. These programs are tried and tested and have a solid history of impressive results.
4. We provide accountability and support
Not only can we provide you with tools, we also offer ongoing support through our professional weight-loss services. We monitor your progress and suggest tweaks along the way that can help you stay on track. Not to mention, having our team involved can also provide you with some accountability that pushes you toward a successful outcome.
If you’ve been spinning your wheels on your own and sorting through products and services that offer nothing but hollow promises, it’s time to cut through the clutter and pursue a medically supervised weight-loss program.
