March is National Nutrition Month!

March is National Nutrition Month!

Since 1973, The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has sought to bring awareness to our nutritional habits, first with a National Nutrition Week. Then in 1980 it was expanded to all of March as National Nutrition Month with the goal of educating and informing people about the importance of developing good eating and exercising habits, as well as making informed food choices.

For many of us, it was only a short two months ago that we made our New Year’s Resolution, once again, to lose weight this year and adapt healthier eating habits. At Premier MD and MedSpa22, we are focused on preventative health care, and we are here to help you keep that resolution. How many times have you gone to your primary care physician and been told you need to lose some weight to be in optimal health? Yet, has your doctor given you an actual weight loss plan that will work? No, not usually. They will merely tell you the basics and send you on your way.

As concierge physicians, we take the time to really help you get your health to where it should optimally be, and that includes your weight. When you start our weight loss program, we will recommend having several tests done. We will start with a body composition test to determine how much of your body is made up of fat. We use state of the art equipment to check your metabolic rate and see how your metabolism is functioning.

Hormone imbalance can also be a huge factor in regards to your weight. We highly recommend checking your hormone levels because a hypoactive (underactive) thyroid will cause a slow metabolism and treating it can help improve your ability to lose weight. However, it doesn’t quite stop there. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all hormones that cause weight gain when they are out of balance. If your levels are off, this could be playing a major role in stalling your success. Luckily, at Premier MD Care we’re well versed in treating hormone imbalances and getting your levels under control so that your whole body functions better overall. This will not only help you lose weight, but also help keep it off in the long run.

Once all your testing is complete, we can finally see the big picture of your health and then effectively create a customized and structured health plan that works for you and will have you seeing results week after week. We strongly believe one of the healthiest diets out there is the Nutritarian diet, pioneered by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a board-certified physician, world renowned for his nutritional expertise in creating this specific diet. Our weight loss program is not designed to leave you feeling deprived and you will not be tediously counting calories. This nutritional plan was created to help people reverse chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, as well as help people overcome food addiction.

The Nutritarian diet is made up primarily of vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains, and is a plant-based, nutrient dense way of eating, which focuses on supplying the body with both macronutrients, such as protein and carbohydrates, and micronutrients, such as minerals and vitamins. You have to eat more micronutrients and less macronutrients (calories) for permanent weight loss and to reverse diseases. The key to having an optimal weight for your height is to eat food with a high proportion of nutrients to calories. One of the best things about the Nutritarian diet is that it allows you to eat until you feel full! So you will never feel deprived or hungry again, but you also won’t overeat.

We recommend taking some vitamin supplements such as vitamin B12 injections, vitamin D3, Zinc and DHA to maximize your weight loss results. And while we will be giving you a really healthy diet plan as the focus, if necessary, we can provide medications to help control food cravings in the initial stages of the program. As your primary care physicians, we will, of course, monitor you closely while you are on the medication to ensure your safety.

Call us today to find out more about our weight loss program, as well as the extraordinary concierge care we can provide as your primary care physicians at Premier MD Care 239-466-6855.

Understanding the Benefits of a Weight Loss Program

Understanding the Benefits of a Weight Loss Program

Wanting to lose weight and actually accomplishing your goals are two different things. Most people fail to lose weight because they don’t understand how to do it properly, not because of a lack of effort. While exercise and diet are the key to losing weight, the individual’s health, metabolism and body fat levels come into play. A weight loss program based on science and medical knowledge will always provide the most tangible results for the individual.

Healthy Eating

Understanding how the foods we eat affect us individually can make all the difference in the world when it comes to our weight loss goals. Most people understand that they need to cut the fat in their diets and increase their intake of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as fiber. However, most people who attempt to make these changes on their own find themselves giving up within a short period of time. This is primarily due to a few key issues, including:

  • Lack of energy
  • Mood swings
  • Slow results
  • Not enjoying meals

Out of all of these, the lack of enjoyment of diet food is the biggest problem. A diet created after having taken all of these issues into consideration is easier to come by with the help of a qualified professional via a medical weight loss program. After gauging your body mass index (BMI), we can create a food diet based on your particular tastes that can also provide you with loads of energy to get you through the day. This will keep you motivated and control mood swings associated with the body’s craving for particular kinds of foods.

Proper Exercise

You need to understand that in order to successfully and quickly lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. This means that you need to burn more energy than you take in by way of food so that your body needs to turn to fat deposits as a backup energy resource.

Once this stage has been reached during your workout routine, the fat deposits will melt away in time. Not everyone understands how to count calories effectively, and that’s perfectly understandable. When you turn to our weight loss program, you’ll have access to professionals who are very knowledgeable about this issue and can guide you in the right direction.

Potential Health Risks

As with anything health-related, there can be health risks if care isn’t taken. Some people have health conditions like high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases that might make weight loss attempts risky. Weight loss is often necessary with conditions like this. However, you must be careful not to strain yourself and starve your body if you suffer from these conditions. This is yet another reason to opt for a medical weight loss program.

Let our team at MedSpa 22 help guide you on your way to successful weight loss. Contact us today and schedule a visit with us in Fort Myers so we can evaluate your specific needs.
