Naturopathic Weight Management and Obesity Care

As a Naturopathy Doctor and functional medicine practitioner, I offer a holistic and individualised approach to weight management and obesity. Rather than just focusing on weight loss, functional medicine looks at the root causes of obesity, considering genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and biochemical factors. Our goal at Well Wise Hub is to understand the underlying imbalances in the body that may contribute to weight gain and create a personalised treatment plan to restore balance. Here’s an overview of the key elements of our approach to obesity:

Comprehensive Assessment and Lab Testing
Genetic Testing: Understanding genetic predispositions can help identify metabolic patterns, food sensitivities, and risk factors for obesity.

Hormonal Imbalances play a significant role in appetite, metabolism, and fat storage. As Functional medicine practitioners, we test for hormone imbalances that could be contributing to weight gain.

Gut Health: The microbiome plays a significant role in metabolism and weight. Imbalances in gut flora can influence inflammation, insulin resistance, and food cravings.

Thyroid Imbalances: Hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) can lead to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Addressing thyroid function with diet and lifestyle changes is an important part of functional medicine.

Dietary and Lifestyle Interventions
Personalised Nutrition Plans: Instead of a one-size-fits-all diet at Well Wise Hub, we often recommend individualised meal plans based on genetic and metabolic needs at Well Wise Hub. These diets may focus on anti-inflammatory foods or a balance of macronutrients to regulate blood sugar and hormones.

Education and Empowerment: Patients are educated about their bodies, health, and the lifestyle changes they can make to maintain a healthy weight.
Ongoing Support: At Well Wise Hub, we offer regular follow-ups to track progress, adjust the plan as necessary, and provide encouragement.

The functional medicine approach at Well Wise Hub to obesity treatment is individualised, aiming to identify and treat the root causes rather than just focusing on calories in and out. It includes testing and addressing underlying issues like hormonal imbalances, gut health, insulin resistance, personalised diet, exercise, stress management, and supplementation protocols. The goal is to create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that supports long-term weight management and overall wellness.
