When it comes to weight-loss plans, certain strategies are more effective than others for women over 40. Years ago, a fad diet or extreme workout routine might have worked for short-term results, but those are not today’s answers for weight management.
At Weight Success Centers™, our physicians acknowledge women’s bodies go through many changes as we age. Each woman deserves personalized treatments and options.
As the CDC and U.S. Health Departments recognize National Women’s Health Week, May 12 to 18, now is our time to focus on wellbeing and healthy solutions for weight loss in our 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Weight Fluctuations During Perimenopause and Menopause
During perimenopause and menopause, most women will notice weight fluctuations and body changes. You may experience hot flashes, mood shifts, or shifts in where you carry weight. It is not uncommon for women to notice a redistribution of excess weight around the belly.
Medically, visceral fat around vital organs in the abdominal area can be one of the contributing factors to heart disease. Also, overall weight gain and a high BMI can lead to an array of chronic conditions, including diabetes. This is why weight-loss plans from Weight Success Centers™ are individually customized with meal plans, weight-loss medications, and other medical solutions for women over 40.
Weight Management and Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT)
For effective weight management in women, our physicians offer medically supervised weight-loss treatments and programs that often include Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT). Customization and combinations of solutions are key to reducing hormonal symptoms and managing weight.
Of course, highly successful weight management programs include nutritional meal planning as well as strategies for daily exercise. Another component is getting enough sleep, which is essential for digestion and cardiovascular health. Often, certain vitamins, minerals, and doctor-prescribed supplements are also necessary for achieving balance and boosting overall health and vitality for women over 40.
At Weight Success Centers™, our physicians are certified providers of BioTE, a pellet form of BHT. These natural pellets can help restore testosterone and estrogen levels for hormonal balance and symptom relief. Identical to the hormones a woman’s body produces, the pellets dissolve completely with no byproducts.
For women over 40, the components for the healthiest weight-loss plans must include customization. As with any therapy, plan, supplement, or medical treatment – results and benefits may vary.
