WEIGHT LOSS

Weight loss isn’t about being skinny. It isn’t about trying to fit into a certain size of clothing. It isn’t about looking like a super-model or fitness model. It is about being healthy and optimizing your wellness. Everybody has a different body shape and structure and build. Everybody has a different target weight they would like to achieve. If you feel as though you cannot lose weight despite exercise and diet, then you are missing something.

Weight Loss and Healthy Weight

There are several other factors that play into weight loss. These factors include normalizing brain neurotransmitters, restoring youthful hormonal balance, increasing physical activity, improving insulin sensitivity, detoxifying the liver and gut, investigating food allergies/sensitivities/intolerance, and adopting long-term healthy eating plans. There are many potential causes that can lead to weight gain which include stress, endocrine or metabolic disorders, lack of sleep and nutrient imbalances, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The most well known, but often misunderstood theory, includes an imbalance in the amount of healthy calories in your diet. Not all calories are created equally and a simple reduction in calories does not always lead to healthy and permanent weight loss.

Achieve Your Healthy Weight

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is never an easy task. Over the years, a variety of challenges can arise that make adding weight far too easy. Unfortunately, losing the same weight can then seem next to impossible. Fad diets and popular weight loss programs can prove to be overwhelming, as they rarely provide the promised, long-lasting results. Luckily, the integrative medicine professionals at Synergistiq Wellness are available to bring clients an innovative approach to weight and overall health. Dr. Deepa Verma is here to help patients tackle the nutritional, physical, and emotional issues that keep a proper weight – and overall good health – at bay.

The importance of a personalized nutritional plan

The food we eat is without question the most essential factor in maintaining a healthy weight. Food is the safest form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. One must remember that when eating, they are either feeding disease or fighting it. A busy lifestyle can lead to sporadic eating habits and poor nutritional choices, making the idea of maintaining a healthy, proportionate weight difficult. High fat and process foods are often within easy reach, while fresh vegetables are left off fast food menus.

Making a nutritional balance even harder to achieve, the standard American diet is one of the poorest diets in the world, full of processed foods that are synthetic and toxic. America is overfed and undernourished. Foods are calorically dense, not nutritionally dense.

Choosing the correct food is only half of the weight loss battle. Each individual is biochemically unique, meaning that no one diet plan works for everyone. Genetics play a big role in weight issues. Dr. Verma offers unique genetic testing to help one create a healthy diet and understand macro-nutrient proportions. Often, people will see a friend or family member succeed with a certain diet, but will feel like a failure when the same plan does not mean their own weight loss. There are no “cookie-cutter” diets. Finding the right nutritional balance will vary according to genetics, metabolism rate, and daily routine.

Dietary allergens – a hidden cause of weight gain

Although some allergens can be easily pinpointed with noticeable issues, such as swelling or a rash, some the symptoms may be harder to recognize. Dietary allergens can cause a variety of issues that include inflammation, water retention, bloating, swelling of the extremities and face, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The body’s hormonal balance can shift, and metabolism can slow down, as the body struggles to fight off allergens. Without knowing it, dietary allergens can be responsible for a plethora of health conditions, including increased body weight that is difficult to lose.

Foods that can trigger a dietary allergy can include:

Tips to Get You Started

While losing weight often the primary motivation for dietary changes, overall health is of primary importance. With an emphasis on general well-being will come satisfying, long-term, sustainable weight loss. Getting started towards weight management includes assessing current health, dietary allergies, food sensitives, metabolic rate, and genetic history. By creating a personalized nutrition plan, clients can achieve a higher level of energy, an improved overall sense of well-being, fewer food cravings, and better general health.

Physical And Psychological Factors in Weight Management

Along with a proper diet, a consistent exercise routine is vital to a healthy weight. As no two people are alike, finding an individualized exercise program is essential for long-term results. Combining strength training to build muscle mass along with cardio exercise will increase metabolic rate, affecting the way calories are processed and burned. Consistent exercise, three or more days a week, will improve the cardiovascular and respiratory system, as well increase mental well-being. Exercise is the most under-utilized antidepressant. It naturally releases “happy” hormones and endorphins while reducing stress and improving sleep. It is common during times of stress to reach for unhealthy food options. While some mask emotions with food, others may find eating during difficult times a burden. No matter the situation, freeing diet from emotion is key to overall health.
