Weight Gain

Lifestyle causes

Obesity is a chronic disease with serious increased health risks. Reducing weight is achieved through a combination of behaviour modification programs, dietary advice and exercise. In some patients medications or surgery can give excellent weight loss and resolution of medical problems. Please contact us for an appointment.

Alternative diagnosis

Diseases of the thyroid, the adrenal and polycystic ovarian syndrome can cause weight gain. There are also rare genetic causes. Please contact us for an appointment if you are concerned about any of these conditions.
