This is the ‘Weight Loss As You Age video’ featuring Dr. Edwin Dean, NAWI Wellness Center’s Medical Director. Dr. Dean talks about losing weight before the holidays and the weight loss options available at NAWI Wellness. We hope that you enjoy this video and find it informative.
Weight Loss As you Age
As you age, your metabolism slows down considerably. The slow-down occurs due to several factors, including changes in body composition, hormonal fluctuations, and decreased physical activity levels. The exact rate of metabolic decline can vary greatly from person to person and may be influenced by various factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and overall health.
Common Feelings from Being Over Your Desired weight
If you feel over your desired weight, there are a number of other feelings that may result.
You may feel Self-consciousness. Feeling overly aware of one’s appearance, leading to discomfort or self-consciousness in social settings or even when alone.
You may suffer shame or embarrassment from the way you look. Feeling ashamed or embarrassed about one’s body shape, size, or perceived flaws, which can lead to avoiding certain activities or situations.
You may suffer from low self-esteem. Having a negative body image often correlates with lower self-esteem, where individuals may doubt their worth or capabilities due to dissatisfaction with their appearance.
You may have anxiety and stress. Constantly worrying about how one looks can generate anxiety and stress, impacting daily life and causing mental distress.
You may be depressed. Prolonged negative body image issues can contribute to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or even depression, affecting overall mood and quality of life.
You may be spending too much time on comparison and envy. Constantly comparing oneself to others or societal ideals can breed feelings of envy or jealousy, further worsening one’s perception of their own body.
You may seek refuge with disordered eating or unhealthy behaviors. A poor body image might lead to extreme dieting, disordered eating patterns, or engaging in unhealthy behaviors to try to change one’s appearance, which can be physically and mentally harmful.
These feelings and thoughts can create a cycle where negative emotions reinforce a poor body image, making it challenging to break free from these patterns without support, self-acceptance, and sometimes professional help or guidance.
So, break the cycle and let the NAWI Wellness Center help you look to your best!
Do you need help with Weight Loss or Body Sculpting?
As Dr. Dean noted in the ‘weight loss as you age video’, NAWI Wellness has many different programs available to you. If you want to reduce the overall size of your body, you will want to explore medical weight loss. Semaglutide and the HCG Diet both offer opportunities to reduce your body weight by up 20-25%.
If you want to address some problem areas, our body sculpting treatments might be better suited to your needs. TruSculpt or UltraSlim, provide the opportunity to ‘sculpt’ your body for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
If your body is already the right size and generally the right shape, you may want to consider Trusculpt FLEX muscle sculpting to get that hot, sexy body that you’ve always wanted.
Whether you want to take off some accumulated weight or reshape your body, or tune it to perfection, NAWI has a program for you.
