Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem; but a metabolic disorder caused by hormonal imbalance, resulting in a disturbance in metabolism.
‘Eat Less and Move More’ is the commonly heard mantra to manage obesity, which fails miserably in all aspects. Although the causes of obesity are complex, lack of physical activity and excess eating are in fact the obesity symptoms and not causes. So simply running to the gym to start an exercise program or kick-starting a diet plan is just an impending disaster.
Apart from the fact that being obese can make you feel miserable and affect your self-esteem, obesity is a major risk factor for development of health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, etc.
The current options range from a hypocaloric diet to bariatric surgery, both of which are extreme and most importantly do not address the root-cause of obesity.
At MediFit, we help you reverse Obesity with nutrition, exercise and lifestyle as medicine. The programs are monitored by a team of qualified medical professionals.
Type 2 Diabetes is often labeled as an irreversible and chronic medical condition that warrants medications and Insulin shots for the rest of your life. But it is far from the truth.
Diabetes is a condition caused by Insulin Resistance, which simply means that your body is producing more than the necessary amount of Insulin to manage the carbohydrate load. At the cellular level, the cells are resistant to Insulin leading to rising levels that create a havoc of multiple metabolic abnormalities including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.
The combination of high blood glucose, high blood pressure, high cholesterol/triglycerides along with central obesity (together called the metabolic syndrome) is a risk factor for developing heart disease, stroke, etc
The current treatment options only target blood glucose control and never really make an attempt to reverse the Insulin Resistance. The surprising fact is that exogenous Insulin is prescribed for blood glucose management although it is already in excess.
At MediFit, we help you reverse Diabetes with nutrition, exercise and lifestyle as medicine. The programs are monitored by a team of qualified medical professionals.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which was previously called Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of child bearing age. It is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility resulting in difficulty in conception.
The symptoms include irregular menses, increased facial and body hair, male pattern of hair loss. Although a genetic predisposition may contribute, a major contribution is played by environmental exposure to stress, sleep affections, etc. Addressing the PCOS plays a major role in improving fertility levels and also the success of the fertility interventions like IVF, IUI, etc
PCOS is most commonly associated with Insulin Resistance and Obesity. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of developing conditions like diabetes, and some cancers.
The current options for treatment range from medications to invasive procedures like ovarian drilling, apart from the infertility treatments like hormonal therapies, in vitro fertilization, etc.
At MediFit, we help you reverse PCOS with nutrition, exercise and lifestyle as medicine. The programs are monitored by a team of qualified medical professionals.
