Obesity

Defined as an excess of body fat that can negatively impact health, obesity is often the result of a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. It can manifest in various ways, affecting not only physical appearance but also overall well-being and quality of life.

How Does It Work?

What does root cause medicine focus on in treating obesity?

Root cause medicine aims to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to obesity, such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, emotional triggers, and lifestyle habits. By understanding these root causes, we can create a personalized treatment plan that promotes sustainable weight loss and overall health, rather than just focusing on short-term dieting or quick fixes.

How are lifestyle factors assessed in root cause treatment for obesity?

In root cause treatment, lifestyle factors are thoroughly evaluated through detailed assessments, including dietary habits, physical activity levels, sleep quality, and stress management. This holistic approach helps identify specific areas for improvement, allowing for targeted interventions that can effectively support weight loss and long-term health.

What role does nutrition play in the root cause treatment of obesity?

Nutrition is a cornerstone of root cause treatment for obesity. A personalized dietary approach focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods that support metabolic health and help regulate hunger signals. By identifying food sensitivities, improving meal timing, and emphasizing balanced macronutrients, we aim to create sustainable eating habits that promote weight loss and enhance overall well-being. This tailored nutritional strategy not only addresses obesity but also fosters a healthier lifestyle.

“Best doctors ever! If you are looking for solutions to health problems or interested in preventative measures. This is the place to go. Dr. Torres and his staff are THE best. They are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and attentive. Try them out you won’t be disappointed!”

Eddie R.

“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”

Emma T.

“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”

Charles C.

“Dr. Torres has worked hard to help me reach my health goals. Only one major one left, but resounding success with all the rest. He listens and has good insight in how to get our bodies to respond.”
