Being Healthy Isn’t Easy, but We Make it Simple
Do You Want To Lose Weight?
The common causes of weight gain include both poor diet and a lack of exercise. However, in Hong Kong a lack of sleep or stress can cause high cortisol and ghrelin levels leading to an increase in appetite and fat storage. Hormone imbalances, such as declining hormones like estrogen and testosterone after menopause and andropause, may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation in the belly or thighs. Other common causes of unwanted weight gain include unchecked metabolic issues like low thyroid or insulin resistance.

At LifeClinic, we take a functional approach by working on maintaining metabolic, hormone and gut balance to achieve long term weight goals. First, detoxifying the body can help remove the vast array of toxins stored in our body fat that is inhibiting our liver from burning fat for fuel. Working with a functional doctor or a nutritionist allows you to discover a diet and movement plan that is optimal for your body type.
