Finding the Root of Weight Gain

As we welcome the new year, many people make health-related resolutions, from hitting the gym more frequently to adopting healthier diets and shedding extra pounds. These resolutions are a long-standing tradition, and Advanced Weight Loss in Derby is here to offer support.

Jamie Hall, APRN, the owner of Advanced Weight Loss, understands that many individuals set ambitious goals to lose weight, often struggling to achieve them on their own. She believes that a personalized, whole-body approach to health and wellness can be the key to success. 

“A lot of people are going to make their New Year’s resolution to go to the gym, lose thirty pounds, but they’re going to struggle with that, and I can help them out with another tool in the toolbox,” she said.

According to a 2024 survey by Pew Research Center, nearly 80 percent of individuals surveyed said their resolutions are related to health, exercise or diet. Many are aiming to shed the weight gained over the holidays or throughout the previous year. Hall encourages people with weight loss goals to start early in the year to see real results, especially before “bikini season” arrives.

In addition to weight loss services, Advanced Weight Loss offers effective solutions like GLP-1 medications (including the well-known Ozempic) and hormone replacement therapy. Hall highlights that hormones can play a significant role in weight gain, low energy and decreased libido. For some clients, addressing hormone imbalances through testosterone replacement therapy has helped them regain muscle mass and improve their overall health.

Hall emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach, beginning with lab work during a free consultation with one of their experienced staff. “We like to start with labs to determine your baseline,” she said. “We want to address the root cause of this and get you healthy throughout the journey here, not just throw weight loss medications at you.”

Beyond weight management, Advanced Weight Loss also provides other treatments to enhance overall well-being and achieve complete health and wellness. These include IV therapy, which can help with immunity, aid in recovery from illnesses like Covid, and even alleviate hangovers after New Year’s Eve celebrations. “IV therapy is great for hangovers, it’s great for pre-treating if you’re going to go spend time with loved ones, or if you’re feeling down,” Hall shared.

For those looking for aesthetic enhancements, Advanced Weight Loss also offers services like Botox, fillers, and microneedling. “It’s really about being the best you that you can be. We are a family at Advanced and we want to make sure our patients know they are part of our family!” Hall says.
