Stubborn weight loss is very common, specifically for women over the age of 35. Hormonal shifts begin to take place and the body becomes more sensitive to not just how much food one is consuming (calories in vs out) but also the quality of food leads to further worsening resistant weight gain. As estrogen begins is decline lean body mass and muscle begin to decline as well. This can lead to an increase in both fat mass and visceral fat, the dangerous fat that surround the organs.
A metabolic assessment is taken looking into all aspects of ones lifestyle to create a protocol specifically tailored to ones individual needs. There is no quick fix in this area but once the underlying issues related to inflammation, gut dysbiosis, hormones and other factors related to ensuring target weight goals are met positive outcomes are achieved.
