Medical Weight Loss in Kansas City, MO

Have you ever asked yourself, “I’m eating healthy and working out, why am I not seeing results?” Or, “This particular weight loss plan worked for me five or ten years ago, but now the scale won’t move!” Or, “I’m eating and exercising the same way I always have, so why do I keep gaining weight?”

Achieving Weight Loss

The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in the United States and worldwide. Currently, the age-adjusted prevalence of obesity in adults is 42.4%, and there is no significant difference between men and women among all adults or by age group.  The cause of obesity is multifactorial, but lifestyle changes, in particular reducing caloric intake, are the cornerstone of current approaches to weight loss and prevention of weight regain.  However, weight loss (by any means) is recognized to be difficult to achieve and maintain, and there is considerable uncertainty over whether any one dietary pattern is broadly more effective than another.  One promising area for improvement in the field of weight loss concerns insulin dynamics, such as insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, and how it plays a role in body weight regulation and therefore may affect individual responses to hypocaloric diets and weight loss. 

At aNu Aesthetics™ and Optimal Wellness, we focus on individual goals and healthcare needs!  We look for and treat underlying causes such as insulin resistance and hormone dysregulation as above. 

There are different methods to achieving weight loss. Assisting with dietary modifications alone helps many patients achieve weight loss. For the short term, a high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet seems to provide the most benefit. 

We also help patients find new regimens to assist with greater effectiveness in weight loss and prevention of weight gain.  At the end of the day, the best course of therapy to initiate will be the one you feel you will be most compliant with, so we have made these kits easy to follow!

Words cannot describe how much better I feel. When I came to aNu Aesthetics™ and Optimal Wellness I was feeling defeated. I had been trying to follow Keto lifestyle for years and the scale just would not budge and, at times, would go up. I was lethargic, depressed, and ready to eat whatever I wanted because it clearly did not matter. I sat down in my first WW meeting in the 6th grade. I have tried every diet I could get my hands on over the years.

After sitting down and learning with Dr. Watkins I was blown away. Some things I knew, but so many I did not. I have always been told that my “thyroid is fine”. Well, it was not.

I started this journey weighing over 200 pounds in March of 2021 and am happy to report that today, September 1, 2021, I weigh 160.9 pounds. I am eating cleaner than I ever have and feel AMAZING! One thing I have learned is to eat foods without a label and that has been a game changer.

I was quite skeptical in the beginning because, after all, I have tried so many things that have not worked. I sat in that sauna twice a week, I drank my water, I ate my foods and IT WORKED!

Thank you, BIG TIME, to Dr. Watkins for giving me my life back!! You and your staff have been priceless over these last few months and I owe my success to you all.
