We help manage inflammation which makes the body cling to fat. We help you manage stress with strategies including deep breathing, meditation, and a walking schedule (stress hormone cortisol when ramped up stores body fat). We help plan what you are going to eat, identify your food triggers and help you avoid them. Our functional medicine approach and strategies will help you lose weight.
Functional medicine helps you in this regard as it is an integrative approach that identifies all the risk factors and root causes of weight gain (Blue, et al, 2019).

Which exercises to follow to lose weight?
Exercises are the most significant way to lose weight. Some exercises might be suggested according to the root cause of your weight gain. While many other exercises are general and beneficial for almost everyone, including cardio, walking, or yoga (Swift, et al, 2014). If you prefer resistance training with weights or machines, go with it. If not, shift to cardio. A proper diet with a combination of exercises helps you achieve weight loss goals.
Which diet should I follow in order to lose weight?
When it comes to diet, it varies for everyone. Something beneficial for one person might not be sufficient for another one. However, the most common problem is people cannot stick to a limited or specific diet for longer. To combat this, you need to alter your lifestyle. Try to change your eating habits (Warrier, et al, 2021). Eating healthy at a suitable time is what actually matters the most for health and wellness. Otherwise, losing weight may not help you as the excess weight will be back after a while.
Which supplement is preferred for weight loss?
Taking a supplement is preferred by many people who find it difficult to alter their diet and lifestyle or follow exercises. However, this approach does not work for most people. Magic supplements sometimes exacerbate the problems. No one and all fix product can boost your metabolism and help you lose weight with a magic pill yet. Diet and exercise are still key to losing excess weight. However, supplements may support your energy production and metabolism to some extent. It is best to ignore that magic pill that promises to burn pounds instantly, this just gives you false hope and wastes your money.
