Metabolic health issues typically arise when the body stores excess fat in areas like the liver, muscle cells and pancreas. These issues include type-2 diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure and increased cardiovascular risk while excess weight overall can lead to sleep apnea, cancer risk and knee arthritis.
It’s difficult for the average person to lose more than 3 to 5 percent of their weight simply through nutrition and exercise. A “set point” in part of the brain called the hypothalamus fights weight loss by increasing appetite and lowering metabolism.
In light of this, certain medications can help people reach clinically-beneficial levels of weight loss of more than 10 to 15 percent of their weight. These medications help suppress appetite and are prescribed alongside a nutrition and exercise plan under the guidance of a medical practitioner.
Nutrition, sleep and exercise play key roles in lifestyle medicine. Many patients can change their energy intake simply by minimizing processed foods and eating more whole foods. And while exercise is not typically an effective way to lose weight on average, it is very important for health.
Lifestyle medicine is a critical part of a range of treatment options.
