Weight Management Specialist

Why is it difficult to lose weight?

Following a picture-perfect weight loss plan and exercising every single day of the week aren’t always enough to help you lose weight. Sometimes, weight gain or even weight plateaus occur because of an imbalance in your body. No matter how hard you work, you may find it difficult to lose weight due to:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Thyroid disorders
• Undiagnosed diabetes
• Poor kidney function
• Heart problems

Because difficulty losing or maintaining weight can truly be a medical issue, it’s important to get your doctor involved early on.

What is weight management?

Weight management is about more than losing weight — although that’s certainly important. By managing your weight, you learn to lose weight healthfully, while also working to make lifestyle changes to keep the weight off. Your weight management plan from No Mercy Sports Medicine may include:

• Medical-grade dietary supplements
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Dietary counseling
• Exercise planning

Your personalized weight management plan from No Mercy Sports Medicine changes according to your needs, while continuing to focus on diet and exercise. Between regular weigh-ins, changes to your diet, coaching on your training, and routine laboratory testing, you and Dr. Irizarry-Román work together to ensure you reach your healthy weight and stay there — for good.
