weight loss

If your weight is in your way, stop trying every weight loss fad on the internet and get to the root cause once and for all. At Why Weight you can be in control of preventing and treating your weight issues, leading to sustainable weight control. Debra Salter, M.D. specializes in obesity medicine, and strives to uncover the reasons your body chooses to store rather than spend calories, and/or why you do not let go of fat effectively. She and her specialty trained providers and staff work with you to overcome those issues in areas which can include: metabolism, nutrition, stress, sleep, hormones, genetics, age related, mobility limitations, leaky gut and other GI issues, respiratory and cardiovascular, and many other chronic diseases, to name a few.

Hormone replacement

Hormones play a significant role in the management of many body processes, including your metabolism. Men and women both experience changes in hormone levels as they get older, which may make it harder to lose weight. To support your weight-loss efforts and improve overall health and wellness, board-certified obesity medicine specialist Debra Salter, MD, at Why Weight, offers hormone replacement therapy. To schedule a consultation to learn more about hormone replacement therapy and how it may help you, call the office in Littleton, Colorado, or book an appointment online today.

Metabolic nutrition deficiency

Millions of people struggle with weight loss. As you know, your weight doesn’t just contribute to your physical appearance. Your weight and the amount of fat in your body can help or hurt your body by contributing to either a healthy physique or lead to medical issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Weight loss is not just about restricting calories, which is what most people try to do. Weight loss is really about correcting your nutrition, managing your stress, and, for some, working with or around chronic diseases and medical conditions.
