    Weight Gain

    Weight gain is caused by an energy imbalance, where the body takes in more calories than it burns. Daily variation of weight by a few pounds is normal and often dependent on diet, fluid intake or menstrual cycle. As we age, weight gain is likely to be a result of reduced physical activity, shifts in hormone levels and a lower metabolic rate.

    What can I do to maintain a healthy weight?

    Lifestyle interventions such as eating a well balanced, fiber rich Mediterranean style diet along with regular physical activity will go a long way in maintaining healthy weight.
    Modern Age’s Aging Wellness Assessment we can determine if other factors such as insulin resistance, hormone dysregulation or inflammation play a role in your weight journey and formulate a customized treatment plan for you.

    Questions about Weight Gain

    Does inflammation impact weight gain?
    Inflammation can cause hormonal imbalances, such as an increase in cortisol levels, which can lead to weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area. Changes in metabolism can also alter the way the body metabolizes food, making it more difficult to lose weight and keep it off. Other ways inflammation can impact weight is through appetite changes, slowed digestion and poor sleep quality.
    I’m about to enter menopause and I’m worried about weight gain. What can I do?
    During menopause, hormonal changes can lead to weight gain, especially around the midsection. Here are some tips to help prevent weight gain during menopause: 

  • Eat a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.

  • Exercise Regularly: Regular physical activity can help boost metabolism, improve hormone balance, and maintain muscle mass.

  • Limit Sugar and Refined Carbohydrates: Consuming too much sugar and refined carbohydrates can lead to insulin resistance and weight gain.

  • Control Stress: Finding healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, yoga, or exercise.

  • Get Enough Sleep

    • For some people, lifestyle changes alone may not be enough to help you address your weight concerns. Hormone replacement therapy can be an effective treatment to help with weight gain. We recommend starting with a consultation to learn what might be right for you.

    If weight gain has been a persistent challenge, our new weight loss program may be an option for you. To find out if you’re eligible, you have to start with our aging wellness assessment where we measure your BMI, metabolic health, hormone balance and 55+ biomarkers. Certain criteria must be met to qualify to access the program and be prescribed GLP-1 medication.
    How are hormones and weight related?
    Hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism and body weight. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones that regulate metabolism and hunger, leading to weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Hormones can impact weight through the Thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism, high insulin levels caused by consuming too many refined carbohydrates, the stress hormone cortisol, and declining estrogen levels throughout menopause.

    More About Weight Gain

    Weight gain is a common concern for both women and men, and it can have a significant impact on overall health and well-being. At our Modern Age, we understand the complex relationship between weight and hormones, and we offer a range of treatments and therapies to help our patients achieve their weight loss goals.

    Hormones play a key role in regulating weight, and imbalances can lead to weight gain. For women, hormonal imbalances related to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause can contribute to weight gain. For men, testosterone imbalances and aging can also play a role. In addition, weight gain can also be caused by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and diet.

    To address weight gain, we offer a range of treatments and therapies, including hormone therapy, weight loss programs, and lifestyle modifications. Hormone therapy can help to balance hormones and reduce weight gain, while our weight loss programs are designed to help our patients lose weight in a safe and effective manner. We also emphasize the importance of making lifestyle modifications, such as eating a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and reducing stress, to help our patients achieve and maintain their weight loss goals.
