Obesity Treatment for Patients with Hypertension
Hypertension affects 1/3 of USA population. 90% unknown
cause and 10% have a treatable cause.
This is 100,000,000 people.
Medicine requirements increase with age and obesity.
Participation in a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) has proven
beneficial to better control hypertension and or eliminates medications.
We perform or 9-Point Assessment for % muscle, fat, visceral
fat, biologic age, waist measurement and BMI. We also provide a comprehensive
metabolic profile, a lipid profile, thyroid function ( TSH, free T4, free T3) and a Epworth Sleepiness Scale as
well as a hormone assessment.
As a result of weight loss from our VLCD patients experience
a 10-15% decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, and atrial fibrillation. In addition they are
able to decrease or cease their medications thus reducing side effects of the
medicine and their cost.
Exercise is important and safe in patients with hypertension
if they follow our gradual exercise program of NEAT (non exercise additional
thermogenesis), GUMA
( get up and move around – 10,000 steps/ day) and FITT
(frequency, intensity, type and time) exercise to build muscle.
We provide healthification navigation to optimize your
health portfolio so you can enjoy your wealth portfolio.
