Global Statistics

Obesity is a global crisis affecting over 650 million adults and 20% of children worldwide, with more than 40% of U.S. adults classified as obese. It results from a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors, leading to excessive caloric intake, reduced energy expenditure, and hormonal imbalances.

Chemistry

Obesity is associated with a chemical imbalance involving hormones that regulate hunger and satiety.

In individuals with obesity, hormone resistance can develop, leading to persistent hunger.

Additionally, insulin resistance occurs, causing the body to struggle with regulating blood sugar and fat storage, further contributing to weight gain.

Complications

Risk of serious health complications including: type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

It can also lead to conditions like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease.

Obesity is also associated with certain cancers, reduced mobility, and a lower quality of life

Modern Treatment

• In addition to lifestyle changes, GLP-1 agonists are a class of medications that help treat obesity
• They mimic the action of the hormone that regulates appetite and sugar metabolism
• These drugs reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake and weight loss
• GLP-1 agonists, like semaglutide (Ozempic) or tirzepatide (Mounjarno or Zepbound), have shown significant success in helping patients achieve sustained weight loss alongside lifestyle changes
