Weight Gain

Weight gain is usually multifactorial and can involve hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid function, medications, sleep, stress and lifestyle. Evaluation helps identify the factors that apply to you.

Hormone changes such as perimenopause, low testosterone or thyroid conditions can contribute to weight gain. Labs help determine whether hormones are part of the picture.

Yes. Hypothyroidism slows metabolism and can contribute to weight gain, though weight changes are multifactorial and treatment alone does not always reverse them.

Yes. Some medications affect appetite, metabolism or fluid balance. Your medication list is reviewed as part of the evaluation, and changes are only made with your prescribing clinician.

Chronic stress raises cortisol, which can increase appetite, cravings and abdominal fat storage. Stress management is part of most weight plans.

Yes. Poor sleep disrupts appetite-regulating hormones and can increase cravings and calorie intake. Improving sleep is a core part of the plan.

Evaluation includes a detailed history, medication review and labs such as thyroid panel, glucose, A1C, insulin, lipids, liver enzymes and hormone markers as appropriate.

Testing may include thyroid panel, fasting glucose, A1C, fasting insulin, lipids, liver enzymes and hormone markers, chosen based on your history and symptoms.

Depending on findings, care may include nutrition and lifestyle planning, thyroid or hormone management, and medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists when appropriate after evaluation.

GLP-1 receptor agonists may be considered when appropriate after evaluation, as one part of a broader plan that includes nutrition and lifestyle support.
