Holistic Approach to Weight Loss
Embarking on a weight loss journey is more than just a cosmetic transformation. It’s a commitment to a healthier and happier life. At Chiropractic Health and Wellness, we understand the significance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, and we’ve witnessed the incredible impact it can have on the various aspects of well-being. Of course, in today’s world, there are an abundance of ways to accomplish weight loss. From meal programs shipped straight to your home to medications like Ozempic, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed to find the best option for yourself. In this blog, we’ll talk about how we help individuals meet their goals at our office.
At Chiropractic Health and Wellness, we have used a weight loss program called Ideal Protein for years. The goal of Ideal protein is to create a calorie deficit, leading to the utilization of stored fat for energy. High-protein intake is intended to help preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss which is important for metabolic function. Promoting a shift in the body to ketosis (using fat for energy), and reducing the reliance on carbohydrates for energy, can effectively improve your body’s sensitivity to insulin. During this program, you are coached by our nutrition coach who guides you along as you go. After your goal is accomplished, it of course is paramount to make lifestyle changes to maintain that healthy weight, including healthier eating habits.
We also do food sensitivity testing for our patients. Food sensitivities can trigger inflammatory responses in the body which can contribute to weight gain and make losing weight extremely difficult. By identifying and eliminating foods that cause sensitivity reactions, you may reduce overall inflammation in the body, creating a more favorable environment for weight loss. It can also aid in digestive health by enhancing nutrient absorption and the body’s ability to use food for energy. Finally, some food sensitivities can lead to water retention and bloating. While this doesn’t necessarily represent fat gain, it can impact your weight and contribute to a feeling of heaviness or bloating. By removing the foods that cause water retention, you may experience a decrease in bloating and some loss of water weight.
Setting out on a mission to reach a healthy weight goes beyond physical appearance. It’s a commitment to transforming your overall health and well-being. By focusing on high protein, and low carbohydrate nutrition and eliminating foods that your body is sensitive to, you can accelerate weight loss and pave yourself a path to a healthier and more energetic life. Whatever your reason for a weight loss goal is, we are here to be a resource for you. Schedule an appointment with our clinic today.
