Weight Management Through Biological Optimization
Weight management is not a battle of willpower; it is a function of biology. At A Healing Heart, we focus on the metabolic markers to help you achieve a sustainable, healthy weight.
The Insulin-Weight Connection
When your metabolism is out of sync, your body enters a "Storage-Only" mode. We identify and treat the underlying hormonal triggers that cause weight plateaus.
Insulin Sensitivity Review
We measure fasting insulin and glucose to determine if your body is efficiently using fuel or storing it as visceral fat.
Fatty Liver Prevention
Metabolic health is closely tied to liver function. We screen for early signs of NAFLD (Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) as part of our weight management protocol.
Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction
- Persistent Midsection Fat: Often an indicator of high cortisol or insulin resistance.
- Energy Crashes: Difficulty maintaining energy levels after meals (Post-prandial fatigue).
- Inability to Lose Weight: Despite strict calorie counting and exercise.
Our Metabolic Framework
A three-pillar approach to sustainable weight loss.
Bio-Individual Analysis
Understanding your unique hormonal profile to create a plan that works with your biology, not against it.
Metabolic Flexibility
Training your body to switch between fuel sources, improving energy levels and fat utilization.
Clinical Oversight
Regular monitoring of inflammatory markers to ensure your weight loss is improving your long-term heart health.
Metabolic Health: Clinical FAQ
Is weight management only about calories?
While calories matter, hormonal signaling (like insulin) dictates whether those calories are burned or stored. We focus on fixing the signaling first.
What is Metabolic Syndrome?
It is a cluster of conditions (increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels) that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease.
