Obstacles to Weight Loss

There are many reasons why people struggle with losing weight. Consider this example.

Living a life dominated by strict dietary patterns and daily trips to the gym, a friend of Dr. Marlowe's struggled with weight his entire life - with no result. Following a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Marlowe deduced that his friend had both a thyroid condition and insulin resistance. The two conditions together made it impossible to achieve weight loss through diet and exercise. Even though his friend has seen three physicians in Boston and Charlotte, Dr. Marlowe was the first physician to diagnose this condition.

Through extra training in bariatric medicine, Dr. Marlowe has learned what many general practitioners don't know: which medications cause weight gain as a side-effect and which undiagnosed medical conditions are responsible when diet and exercise are not effective. He will help you both identify and conquer your obstacles to success.

There are many different possible medical conditions that cause resistance to weight loss. Thousands of people are told by the media that weight is only a problem of diet and exercise, while they in fact have underlying medical conditions associated with weight problems or side-effects of medications which cause weight gain. If you lose weight and gain it back again or if you cannot lose weight, this may be you.
