The prevalence of obesity among adults in the United States is about 40.3%, with severe obesity affecting approximately 9.4%. Weight loss is also among the top concerns for people setting New Year’s resolutions, with around 34% ranking it as a goal. Unfortunately, 99% of those resolutions don’t last.
At The Endocrine Center, we want to change those statistics because obesity isn’t simply a number on the scale — it’s a chronic disease that increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, hormone imbalances, and fatigue.
Our mission is to help you reach a healthy weight, not just for appearance, but for longevity, energy, and real wellness.
When excess body weight becomes persistent, it strains multiple systems in your body. Obesity is closely linked to endocrine and metabolic disturbances, which puts it directly in the territory of our specialists. Among the complications we focus on are:
Because we specialize in endocrine disorders and metabolic health, our practice is well-suited to treating weight issues as part of a complete health plan rather than just a diet.
Here’s how The Endocrine Center team supports you through the weight-loss process with medically supervised, personalized care.
We begin with a comprehensive review of your hormone levels, metabolic rate, body composition, and lifestyle factors. Together, we design a nutrition plan that matches your biology — rather than forcing one size to fit all.
You get guidance on whole foods, portion strategies, and how to adjust your diet when hormones shift or medications affect your metabolism.
Exercise is more effective when it matches your health status. We help you build an activity plan that fits your fitness level and medical background — especially if you have hormone-related concerns, joint issues, or other conditions tied to weight. The goal is to move with more consistency, not intensity.
When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, we may recommend using prescription medications under careful supervision. These therapies help regulate your appetite, improve your metabolic response, and support your weight-loss efforts in concert with other treatments.
We monitor you closely to ensure safety, efficacy, and integration with your overall hormone health.
Because weight and hormones are intimately linked, we evaluate and treat hormonal imbalances that may hinder your progress — such as low thyroid function, estrogen or testosterone deficiencies, or adrenal factors. Restoring hormonal balance often helps regulate metabolism, improve energy, and support sustainable weight loss from the inside out.
Unlike programs that focus only on calories, your team at The Endocrine Center addresses the root problems that keep weight on — hormones, metabolism, fat distribution, and overall endocrine health. Our specialists offer advanced diagnostics, individualized protocols, and long-term support to help you succeed in 2026.
Whether you’re just beginning your weight-loss journey or you’re looking for the next step after prior attempts, we offer a medically grounded path forward to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Your weight is more than a number, and the change you make now can affect how you feel, age, and live. If you’re ready for more than just a resolution in the new year — if you’re ready for lasting wellness — we’re here to help.
