Are you among the 33% of Americans on a diet right now? Maybe you’re feeling frustrated because you’ve never found long-lasting success with a diet. 

At Owl & Eagle Health and Wellness in Golden and Denver, Colorado, we capitalize on the latest advances in weight management to help our patients overcome these challenges. Keep reading to learn more about why losing weight is so important and how we can help you do it.

Why weight management is challenging

A major study showed that though many popular diets lead to modest weight loss over the short term, nearly everyone gains the weight back by the one-year mark. 

Weight loss isn’t just about eating less or using your willpower. When you lose weight, your body responds by slowing your metabolism and increasing hunger sensations. Essentially, your body tries to fight back and reclaim lost weight. That’s what makes maintenance so challenging.

The effects of extra weight 

Carrying extra weight isn’t just a cosmetic concern — it can lead to serious health risks, both physical and mental. The physical risks include:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Osteoarthritis
• Sleep apnea
• Some types of cancer
• Osteoarthritis

But the risks don’t stop there. Obesity is associated with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, and there may be a correlation with substance misuse, too. 

We understand the complex interplay between weight and whole-body health and provide comprehensive weight management support that takes both into consideration.

Our board-certified nurse practitioners and psychotherapists understand that human bodies are beautifully unique, and we tailor our weight loss solutions to meet your specific needs.

Our unique approach to weight management

Our team approaches weight management from a holistic perspective. Our goal is to help you optimize your whole-person health while guiding you to reach and maintain your ideal weight. 

We start with comprehensive evaluations to understand any factors contributing to your weight, such as diet, exercise habits, metabolic conditions, and mental health. 

Our team then develops a personalized plan that may include:

• Nutritional planning
• Exercise plans
• Prescription weight loss medications
• Mental health support
• Metabolic health management, such as blood sugar control
• Personalized lifestyle management

Our well-rounded approach begins with guiding you to your goals, but once you get there our support continues. 

We provide guidance to help you stay on track with your weight while also closely monitoring your weight. If you start to regain weight, we can help turn that tendency around and keep you on track for good health for a lifetime.
