Obesity - Wellness Hormone Clinic

What is obesity?

Obesity is defined by body mass index (BMI), an estimate of body fat calculated from a person's weight and height. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Being overweight or obese increases a person's risk for a number of health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It can also negatively impact one's quality of life and ability to be physically active.

"At Wellness Hormone Clinic, we understand the struggle many face with weight management. That's why our comprehensive obesity treatment plans address the problem from all angles - nutrition, exercise, hormones, and more."

Obesity is generally caused by an energy imbalance - when someone consumes more calories than they burn through activity and normal bodily functions. But many complex inter-related factors influence this, including:

Losing just 5-10% of weight improves health; more brings greater benefits.
