Perhaps no health issues are more emotionally charged than weight gain and weight loss. We need only to look at the plethora of diet books to sense this concern.
Unfortunately, in spite of the abundance of information on diet, nutrition and the health problems associated with being overweight, the American population has been getting progressively heavier.
As a matter of fact, Houston has been dubbed the US’s Fattest City by Men’s Health Magazine for many years now!
Despite the high-profile efforts of celebrities and prominent national figures, America’s obesity epidemic is only expected to worsen in the coming years.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that 68.8% of American Adults are either Overweight or Obese while the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) reports that 18% of children between 6-11 years old and 21% of children between 12-19 years old are Obese.
And, though many Americans embrace their unhealthy lifestyle, the fact remains that obesity has been linked to a number of illnesses and ailments, such as Type 2 diabetes and even certain cancers.
The end result is that obese individuals have shorter life expectancies than their healthier peers.
Research from Oxford University published in 2009 even goes so far as to suggest that moderate obesity can decrease life expectancy by as much as 3 years.
However, if you’ve been battling obesity and have tried time and time again to alter your lifestyle, it’s never too late to get serious about making a change.
By pursuing medical weight loss solutions from experienced care providers, you can shed excess pounds.

What is medical weight loss treatment?
The reason that most weight loss programs don’t provide lasting results is that they don’t treat the underlying hormone imbalances that may make an individual predisposed to being overweight or obese.
Some hormones that have been linked to obesity include leptin, insulin, sex hormones and growth hormones, all of which influence appetite, body fat distribution and metabolism.
At Longevity & Stem Cell Centre of Houston, we know that any program that doesn’t take hormone imbalances into account won’t provide lasting results.
That’s why our program combines medically supervised dieting and exercise with methods to treat hormone imbalances.
