It’s no secret that obesity is a very common and serious problem. The CDC states that in a recent study conducted about the disease, “The prevalence of obesity was 40.0% among adults aged 20 to 39 years, 44.8% among adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 42.8% among adults aged 60 and older.”
Obesity poses many health risks, some of which can be fatal if not addressed in time. Obesity-related conditions include stroke, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain kinds of cancer such as meningioma, multiple myeloma, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
Increased weight can impact the stress on your joints and simply how hard your body has to work. Interestingly, research also shows that excessive fat cells in the body release inflammatory compounds. Inflammation is the bad guy in the room when dealing with chronic pain!
With this in mind, any type of diet or eating pattern that promotes weight gain and obesity can be considered to promote chronic inflammation. This is a major reason why obesity is a leading risk factor for chronic pain.
The good news is that if you are struggling with excessive weight gain and are looking for ways to take control of your health, Partners in Physical Therapy in Lake Charles, LA is here to support you. We offer a medically designed weight loss program that will not only help you lose the weight, but it will also help you keep it off in the long-term. Call us today to learn more!
How can Partners in Physical Therapy help?
Partners in Physical Therapy has searched high and low to find the best medically driven weight loss program available that addresses food as medicine.
Our Lake Charles, LA clinic offers a personalized weight loss program, Ideal Protein, that involves individual goals and a personal coach that provides one on one support through the process.
As stated on their official website, “Ideal Protein is a doctor-designed, Ketogenic Weight Loss Protocol that treats weight loss as healthcare and uses food as medicine to empower you to lose weight and live your best, healthiest life for the rest of your life.
Expert guidance from your very own personal coach keeps you motivated. While the huge variety of delicious Ideal Protein food and tons of other fresh, lean, healthy meals and snacks you get to choose from keep you satisfied on your journey to your new healthy weight and beyond.”
What is even better about this program is that even though it is a ketogenic program, it involves weight loss while preserving lean mass. What this means is that when you complete the program, your metabolism will be the best it has ever been, and you will not simply gain all the weight back. This is the problem with regular, non-medically derived ketogenic weight loss programs. They offer a solution with little to no follow through, meaning you will lose the weight and most likely gain it back when you graduate from the program.
If your current weight is a problem for you, call our clinic today for more information about how our programs can help manage it and keep you healthy.
