Weight Loss

Why Choose Merge Medical Center’s Weight Management Programs?

At Merge Medical Center, we do things differently. Instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we focus on identifying and correcting the root causes of weight gain. Our personalized approach helps you lose weight, maintain results, and improve overall health. Unlike many other weight loss programs in Charleston, our approach is tailored to your unique metabolic needs.

We help our patients achieve lasting weight loss through:

  • Comprehensive physician evaluation to identify metabolic imbalances
  • Customized dietary plans (both calorie-restricted and non-restricted) designed by holistic nutritionists
  • Hormone balance and optimization for improved metabolism
  • Natural weight-loss supplements and herbs to reduce cravings
  • Detox programs for the bowel, liver, and whole body
  • Individualized exercise programs to enhance weight loss
  • Lifestyle modifications, including stress management with a certified health coach

What’s Causing Your Weight Gain?

Weight gain isn’t just about diet and exercise. Several underlying factors may contribute to stubborn weight issues, including:

Causes of Weight Gain Effects on the Body
Hormonal Imbalances Slower metabolism, fat storage
Toxin Overload Blocks fat-burning pathways
Nutrient Deficiencies Impaired metabolic function
Food Sensitivities Inflammation and weight retention
Chronic Stress Increased cortisol and fat storage
Poor Gut Health Digestion issues affecting weight
Unbalanced Diet Insulin spikes and sugar crashes

At Merge Medical Center, our Chiropractic Weight Loss Programs and Elevate Health and Wellness Weight Loss strategies address these root causes, helping you shed excess weight naturally and effectively.

The Role of Hormones in Weight Management

Hormones play a crucial role in metabolism and fat storage. Key hormones that impact weight include:
  • Insulin & Leptin – Regulate blood sugar and hunger signals. Insulin resistance can lead to fat storage in the lower abdomen.
  • Cortisol (Stress Hormone) – High levels contribute to weight gain, especially around the midsection.
  • Thyroid Hormones – Control metabolism. Even if your thyroid lab results appear normal, you may still have underlying thyroid resistance.
  • DHEA & Testosterone – Affect fat distribution and muscle maintenance.
At Merge Medical Center, we assess your hormonal balance and, if needed, provide bioidentical hormone therapy to optimize your body’s natural fat-burning abilities.

Our Focus is getting to the root cause of symptoms and treating them with natural solutions before disease sets in.

Managing Stress for Better Weight Loss

Daily stress can significantly impact weight. When stress levels rise, the body releases more cortisol, leading to increased fat storage, particularly in the lower abdomen (the “fat tire” area).

Our holistic approach includes:

  • Mind-body relaxation techniques to lower cortisol levels
  • Personalized stress management plans to reduce emotional eating

Chiropractic care to relieve physical stress and improve overall wellness

The Power of Nutrients in Weight Loss

Essential nutrients activate hormones and stimulate metabolism. Even if you have enough hormones, a deficiency in key nutrients can prevent them from functioning properly.
Key Nutrients Role in Weight Management
Iodine & Selenium Essential for thyroid function
B-Vitamins & Folate Support energy production and metabolism
Chromium & Vanadium Help regulate blood sugar levels
Amino Acids (Tyrosine) Play a role in neurotransmitter function

A balanced intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is also crucial to preventing insulin spikes and sugar crashes.

Detox to Burn Fat More Effectively

Toxins stored in fat cells can make weight loss difficult. Over time, toxins from food, medications, and the environment accumulate in the body, leading to:

  • Slower metabolism
  • Blocked fat-burning pathways
  • Increased inflammation and weight gain
