Why Is Obesity So Difficult to Control?
Obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition that is influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, environmental, and genetic factors. It is not a matter of willpower or personal weakness—it’s a result of the way your body regulates hunger, energy use, hormones, and metabolism over time.
Biological set points: The body tends to defend its current weight through hormonal feedback loops, making long-term weight loss challenging without intervention.
Metabolic adaptation: The metabolism often slows down resulting in reduced energy expenditure, causing your body to burn fewer calories at rest.
Hormonal imbalance: Impact of leptin and ghrelin can influence hunger, satiety, cravings, and fat storage.
Environmental triggers: Sociocultural attitudes, highly processed foods, lack of sleep, and sedentary lifestyles create constant barriers to success.
Emotional and psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, and trauma can drive emotional eating and disrupt healthy routines.
Appetite Suppressants
Appetite suppressants help calm the mind and reduce constant cravings, empowering you to stay committed to your goals. These medications are safe, monitored, and offer a gentle nudge in the right direction.
-
Reduces hunger and snacking urges

Examples of Some Appetite Suppressants We Use:
Phentermine: A stimulant that suppresses appetite by increasing norepinephrine levels. Ideal for short-term support
Phendimetrazine: Prescribed for moderate to severe obesity, helping reset eating patterns.
Topiramate (in combination): Originally developed for seizures, this medication is useful in controlling binge tendencies.
Contrave: Reduces reward-driven eating; may help with cravings
Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Therapy
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists that offer a modern and powerful tool adjunct towards weight loss that our small intestines naturally produce but no longer performs effectively. With weekly dosing and metabolic regulation, they gently reset how your body responds to hunger—helping you make consistent progress without the daily struggle.
