What Is Weight Loss?

At Well by Messer, the premier weight loss center in NYC, we have a holistic approach towards obesity, which involves reducing body mass through lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and sometimes medical interventions. Obesity, a complex condition marked by excessive body fat accumulation, is influenced by an interplay of genetic, environmental, behavioral, metabolic, and societal factors. Obesity is often characterized by an increased risk of various health complications, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, fatty liver, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancer.

What Are the Causes of Obesity?

These are key factors that impact obesity and weight loss:

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Family history

  • Metabolic factors, including the basal metabolic rate (BMR)

  • Hormonal imbalances (such as disruptions in the regulation of appetite-controlling hormones like leptin and ghrelin)

  • Environmental factors

  • Socioeconomic status

  • Behavioral factors

  • Certain dietary choices (high consumption of processed foods and sugary beverages)

  • Lack of regular physical activity

  • Psychological factors

  • Stress and emotional eating

  • Hypothyroidism

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

  • Medications

  • Age-related changes (decrease in metabolic rate)

  • Gender differences (hormonal changes during menopause)

  • Sleep patterns

Weight loss physicians at Well by Messer address these multifaceted factors through a comprehensive and personalized approach. Successful weight management involves modifying dietary habits, promoting physical activity, addressing underlying medical conditions, and providing behavioral and psychological support. Healthcare professionals play a vital role in guiding individuals through evidence-based interventions tailored to their specific circumstances, fostering long-term success in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

What Are the Treatments and Therapies for Weight Loss?

At Well by Messer, clinical interventions for medical weight loss encompass a diverse range of strategies designed to address the complex nature of obesity. These approaches recognize the interplay of biological, behavioral, and environmental factors contributing to excess body weight.

These are some of the treatments and therapies offered at Well by Messer by our team of board-certified endocrinologists, psychologists, dietitians, and personal trainers:

  • Dietary interventions through caloric restriction and personalized meal plans

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for certain eating behaviors and thought patterns

  • Medications, such as appetite suppressants or those affecting nutrient absorption and metabolic pathways

  • Comprehensive and regular medical evaluations and monitoring to identify underlying health conditions contributing to weight issues

  • Nutritional counseling, including meal planning

Our medical treatments are always accompanied by personalized and comprehensive lifestyle modification programs integrating dietary, exercise, and behavioral components to foster sustainable changes in daily habits and, ultimately, metabolic success.
