Dr. Anju Mather, owner and founder of Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles, would like to explain what happens when a person reaches the age of 40 and begins to gain a little weight. Unfortunately, it happens to most people. What can be done to reverse and prevent it from occurring?
As we get older the gain in weight may be slight at first. But five pounds a year over a period of 10 years adds up to fifty pounds. Yikes! Nobody wants to put on that much weight. The reason it occurs is because the body’s metabolic rate slows down as we get older. So if a person consumes the same amount of food over the years while the metabolic rate slows down, the body turns those extra calories into fat.
Eat More Food, Gain More Weight
The situation medically can be complex. There’s no one simple answer. But basically the problem stems from eating the same amount of calories needed for a younger body at a time when the body is aging and slowing down metabolic rate.
There are lots of different factors that go into it. There is something called leptin resistance, and there is something called insulin resistance. And then there is something called sub clinical hypothyroidism. Those three factors are very key in treating obesity in older people.
Eventually, when the body is much older, over the age of 70, the body begins to shrivel up. Bones and skin start shrinking. All body parts start to shrink. It’s the current cycle of how bodies behave. But between the ages of 40 and 70 a body that is given too many calories while the metabolism is dwindling, will just make fat out of the extra calories. That is, unless the person does something about it.
Treatment Program
The first step is medical testing to find out what needs to be adjusted to speed up metabolism. Tests can be done to determine levels of leptin, levels of thyroid function and hormones and to determine insulin resistance. Different people have different needs. Once the testing is done, treatment can be done based on the tests. Insulin can be adjusted. Leptin can be replaced. Thyroid hormones can be enhanced.
After the tests are done, the Slim and Trim protocol is recommended to help a person lose unwanted pounds and keep weight off. This diet uses the growth hormone hCG along with a very low calorie diet. The hormone allows the body to burn up fat, and it readjusts metabolism to a faster rate. This makes weight loss safe, rapid and you won’t feel hungry.
At Angel Longevity Medical Center it is important that each patient be happy and satisfied with the results – that is that he or she has lost the pounds that needed to come off, and is happy with his or her more youthful body weight.
