One of the questions I always get asked is, “What is the best way to lose weight and keep it off?” It’s a question that many struggle with, and the answer isn’t as simple as just eating less and exercising more.
At GRACE Direct Primary Care, we take a different approach. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, and that background, combined with my experience in concierge primary care, allows me to see weight loss from a broader perspective.
Understanding the Root Cause of Weight Struggles
Instead of focusing strictly on diet and exercise, we look at the individual. One of the biggest reasons people struggle to lose weight and keep it off is inflammation. Chronic inflammation can make it harder to shed pounds, as it disrupts metabolic processes.
Another major factor is gut health. Many popular weight loss options today, including extreme diets and medications, can harm the gut. When your gut is unhealthy, it affects digestion, nutrient absorption, and even hormone regulation, which are crucial for weight management. At GRACE Direct Primary Care, we aim to heal the gut rather than causing further damage.
Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work
Many people try restrictive diets or weight loss programs that promise fast results. Unfortunately, these quick fixes often fail in the long term because they don’t address why the body is holding onto excess weight in the first place. If inflammation and gut health aren’t considered, even the best diet or workout plan won’t provide lasting results.
A Holistic Approach to Weight Loss
At GRACE Direct Primary Care, our goal is to help patients lose weight in a way that supports overall health and long-term success. Our approach includes:
- Reducing inflammation through proper nutrition and lifestyle adjustments.
- Supporting gut health with balanced nutrition and supplements and avoidance of harmful substances.
- Identifying underlying health conditions that may be affecting metabolism and weight.
- Creating sustainable habits instead of relying on fad diets or extreme exercise plans.
- Hormone Optimization
Weight loss isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about understanding your body and making changes that support lifelong health. We work with each patient individually to develop a plan that fits their needs and goals.
