Weight Loss Q & A

How can weight loss improve my health?

Carrying excess weight is a healthd risk. Your body can’t function at peak performance when carrying extra weight, particularly around the midsection.

Having a body mass index (BMI) over 30 significantly increases your risk of developing potentially dangerous health concerns, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), Type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Excess weight also puts pressure on your joints and muscles. Obesity is a common risk factor for chronic pain conditions like headaches, nerve pain, and back pain.

Losing weight can help improve your cardiovascular and nerve function. It may also boost your energy levels and relieve chronic pain to restore your quality of life.

Why am I struggling to lose weight?

Many factors can contribute to weight retention and difficulty losing weight, such as:

Slow metabolism

Your metabolism determines how many calories you burn each day. Some people naturally have slower metabolisms than others due to genetic, underlying conditions, and lifestyle choices.

Poor diet

Nutrition is one of the most important reasons people gain or lose weight. Dr. Arevalo can help create a nutrition plan that works with your body to satiate your hunger and promote sustainable weight loss.

Too little sleep

Sleeping too little may encourage you to eat larger meals, resulting in weight gain. At his office, Dr. Arevalo practices chiropractic care and acupuncture, which promote restful sleep.

Stress

When you feel stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol, which can lead to weight retention.

Underlying issue

Many underlying issues are related to inactivity, poor diet, and musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

Lack of exercise slows your metabolism and reduces your daily calorie burn. Dr. Arevalo can help create an exercise plan that increases your activity levels in a healthy way.
