Obesity has been recognized as an epidemic in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is a serious and common disease that diminishes the quality of life for millions of people. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of obese individuals has nearly tripled since 1975, and in the U.S., 42% of adults are considered obese.
People affected by obesity face more than just weight gain. They are at a higher risk for serious health problems such as high blood pressure, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Treating Obesity
Obesity is caused by various factors, often linked to poor eating habits, physical inactivity, and slow metabolism. Additionally, genetics and body chemistry can make it challenging to lose weight despite exercise and a healthy diet. Fortunately, innovative treatments are available when conventional methods aren’t enough.

Metabolic Recovery
This phase allows your metabolism to adjust and stabilize after the initial weight loss. Prescription intake is monitored to maintain effectiveness and prevent immunity. Once your metabolism has stabilized and you’ve achieved your goal weight, you can move on to the final phase.PHASE 3
