Hormones play a big role in how our bodies feel, function, and maintain balance, especially when it comes to weight changes. If you’ve been frustrated by stubborn weight that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise alone, hormonal weight gain may be a hidden factor. At VIVA Wellness, we understand how challenging this can feel, and we’re here to help you find real answers and lasting solutions through compassionate, personalized care.
Our medical weight loss programs are designed to address not just weight, but the deeper hormonal imbalances that can impact metabolism, energy, mood, and confidence.
Understanding Hormonal Weight Gain
Hormonal weight gain can affect anyone, but it’s especially common during certain life stages or health conditions. Hormonal shifts may occur due to:
- Thyroid issues
- PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
- Perimenopause and menopause
- Stress and cortisol spikes
- Insulin resistance
When hormones are out of balance, the body may hold onto excess fat, cause cravings, or slow down metabolism, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight, no matter how hard you try.
That’s where a customized medical weight loss plan can make all the difference.
How Medical Weight Loss Can Help
At VIVA Wellness, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team takes time to get to know your full health picture so we can design a plan that supports your unique needs. Here’s how medical weight loss for hormonal imbalance works:
Step 1: It All Starts With a Consult
We start with a supportive 30-minute consultation with a board-certified family nurse practitioner. Together, we’ll:
- Review your health history, paying close attention to possible hormonal factors like thyroid concerns, PCOS, menopause, or insulin resistance that could contribute to hormonal weight gain.
- Talk through your previous weight loss experiences, what helped, what didn’t, and understand your unique body patterns.
- Learn about your goals, lifestyle, and preferences so we can create a plan that feels sustainable and realistic.
- Craft a personalized medical weight loss plan designed specifically for your needs, with thoughtful recommendations for nutrition, movement, and medications when appropriate.
This first consultation sets the stage for success. If you’re ready to move forward and have up-to-date labs, you can complete your medical weight loss start appointment the same day, if time allows.
Step 2: Medical Weight Loss Start Appointment
When you’re ready to start your plan, your first appointment includes:
- A complete physical exam and EKG to make sure any recommended prescriptions are safe and appropriate for your body, especially important for clients navigating hormonal weight gain.
- A full review of your lab work, which may include hormone and metabolic markers, to help tailor your plan even further.
- An in-depth conversation with your Nurse Practitioner to explain how your program works, answer questions, and share tips for balancing hormones through nutrition and lifestyle habits.
- A complimentary Metabolism Booster IM Injection to help kickstart your progress with extra support.
As a bonus, you’ll receive:
- Our Gluten-Free Guide and Dairy-Free Meal Guide, designed to help reduce inflammation and support balanced hormones right from the start.
- A VIVA-branded lunch box filled with special offers and goodies, including guest passes to Elite Fitness and the WAC, because we believe feeling supported inside and outside our office makes a difference.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Your journey doesn’t end with a prescription. We walk with you every step, adjusting your medical weight loss program as your body responds and helping you build sustainable habits that last.
