We can help anyone in the region using our Telemedicine platform.
Causes of Weight Gain
Your weight is influenced by calorie intake versus energy burned through daily activity. If you consume more calories than you expend, weight gain results.
Other factors that can contribute include:
- Activity level – reduced physical exercise or low daily movement
- Hormones – changes in cortisol, estrogen decline, or inadequate thyroid hormones
- Medical conditions – such as PCOS, hypothyroidism, or Cushing’s syndrome
- Sleep – insufficient sleep can increase appetite and cravings
- Age – metabolism naturally slows over time
- Medications – some treatments list weight gain as a side effect
Risks of Being Overweight or Obese
Excess weight places additional strain on the body and increases the likelihood of:
- High blood pressure
- Elevated cholesterol or triglycerides
- Heart disease and stroke
- Type 2 diabetes
- Mood disorders
- Arthritis
- Sleep apnea
Overweight adults often report more joint pain and reduced mobility, which can diminish quality of life.
Medically Directed Weight Management Programs
Medically directed weight management is a structured program supervised by the team at Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin, SC. These plans often include:
- Medical assessments
- Prescription peptide medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide)
- Nutritional guidance
- Exercise planning
- Behavioral support
GLP-1 medications mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. By promoting satiety and reducing food cravings, they can help patients achieve sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
