Weight Management

As mentioned above, there are plenty of weight loss program options. ‘Brand” names programs/diets. Supplements. Nutritionists. Gyms. Boot camps. All can help to some degree, if implemented properly, and as long as the individual trying to lose weight makes whatever options he/she uses a priority. Losing weight is tough, and the process to do it is challenging. But, at the end of the day, the most important prerequisite to weight loss is one that the majority of people spend little time considering: understanding the functioning of your body.

What works for one person may not work for another. Simple body chemistry is the reason. There is no question that factors such as thyroid function, adrenal function, and insulin levels play a MAJOR role in an individual’s ability to manage their weight. Unfortunately, this is usually due to a lack of in-depth knowledge. Gaining control of these three factors with the help of a physician and compounding pharmacist can, -in many cases – provide a straightforward solution.

1.Restoring Insulin Levels – Generally, insulin levels are associated with diabetes, caused when the pancreas is unable to produce the amount of insulin needed to control blood sugar. Improper insulin regulation harms the body’s metabolism, which severely limits the body’s ability to lose weight in a healthy manner. 

Solution: The compounding pharmacist will develop a medication(s) that help to restore a proper insulin level. Blood sugar can then be regulated correctly, thereby enhancing your metabolism.

2.Maintaining Thyroid Levels – The secretion of Thyroid hormone in low amounts results not only in weight gain, but a host of other health issues including depression, fatigue, muscle/joint soreness, and constipation. These are all negative effects brought on by Hypothyroidism, which can also lead to mental fatigue, and can pose a major threat to weight loss.

Solution: The introduction of natural thyroid hormones to the body will enable it to “believe” that it is producing the required amount of hormones which are essential in helping to boost the metabolism. This kind of result is difficult to be achieved with the use of synthetic thyroid hormone therapy.

3.Restoration of Adrenal Gland Function – Usually occurring in middle-aged individuals, adrenal dysfunction is a major cause of weight gain in many people. The Adrenal glands help the body convert fats and carbohydrates into energy. However, a disorder named Adrenal Fatigue halts that conversion, and can cause obesity, the onset of allergies, and autoimmune disorders.

Solution: Compounding pharmacists create natural adrenal hormones that allow the adrenal glands to naturally restore proper function over a period of time that varies from patient-patient. This will enable body mechanisms to correct themselves, and allow fats and carbohydrates to create the energy needed to aid the weight loss process.
