Obesity Risk Factors Gene: Genetics metabolism, appetite, and how the body stores fat. Age: Aging affects the rate our body burns calories. In addition, menopause can cause weight gain and challenges with losing weight. Lack of sleep: Sleeping less can cause our body to crave food or cause of body to burn fewer calories, therefore causing weight gain. Pregnancy: Pregnancy can make it difficult to lose weight after birth. Stress: Stress can cause food cravings and weight gain. Disease and medication: Certain diseases such as polycystic ovarian syndromes, Cushing syndromes, certain cancer treatments, and medication side effects. Treatment: Successful weight loss or obesity treatment starts with nutritional counseling, diet modification, and adherence. At iCare Health Services in Laurel, our clinicians tailor personalized nutritional recommendations to our clients. We review cultural food choices, work and life schedules, medical conditions, activity levels, and financial constraints essential to our clients' success. At iCare Health Services, we provide FDA-approved medication to assist our clients to achieve sustained success with their weight loss journey. One of the medications we provide is Semaglutide. Semaglutide increases insulin levels and reduces glucagon secretion, stabilizing blood sugar levels. As such, Semaglutide can effectively reduce appetite, reduce food cravings, and achieve glycemic balance in the body. Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) activates receptors of hormones secreted from the intestine (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) to reduce appetite and food intake. At iCare Health Services in Laurel, we provide free consultation and personalized, medically supervised weight loss plans that allow our clients to be successful.
