There's something new in healthcare that most have not heard about... functional weight-loss medicine. Most often, weight loss plans involve restricting portions and adherence to some exercise regimen. With functional weight-loss medicine, weight loss is simply a side benefit of a body that has become healthier overall!
So what exactly is functional medicine? Functional medicine focuses on improving the body's gastrointestinal (gut health), endocrine (thyroid), and immune systems. Each treatment plan is designed uniquely for each patient.
Two of the most common symptoms that our patients experience, prior to arriving at our doorstep, are weight gain and fatigue. They've tried restricting their calories, sometimes to as little as 500 calories a day. Some patients, at least those who have enough energy, will exercise almost daily. Yet, the excess weight remains.
