Weight loss can become more difficult as women age, particularly due to hormonal shifts that affect metabolism, muscle mass, and appetite regulation. Conditions like thyroid imbalances, insulin resistance, and estrogen dominance can all contribute to stubborn weight gain. At Chicagoland Women’s Health, a holistic approach is taken to address the root causes of weight issues, combining medical treatments with lifestyle interventions.
The clinic offers FDA-approved weight loss medications, such as tirzepatide and semaglutide, which help regulate appetite and support fat loss. These treatments work in tandem with hormonal therapies to address the underlying imbalances that make weight loss more difficult.
Alongside medication, Chicagoland Women’s Health provides guidance on nutrition and exercise tailored to each individual. Regular check-ins with healthcare professionals ensure that weight loss is gradual and sustainable, with an emphasis on overall wellness rather than quick fixes. With the right support, women can achieve their weight loss goals and maintain them long-term.
