OBESITY TREATMENT

🔹 Causes and Risks of Obesity
Obesity develops due to a variety of factors:

- Genetic predisposition
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Overeating and eating disorders
- Hormonal and endocrine disorders (polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, etc. )
- Chronic stress and sleep deprivation

If obesity is not treated, the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, infertility, and cancer increases.

✅ Modern Approaches to Obesity Treatment
A comprehensive treatment program may include:

1. Medication Therapy (weight loss drugs)
🔸 GLP-1 Agonists Group (hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism):
- Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)
- Liraglutide (Saxenda)

These medications reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, improve blood sugar control, and help safely lose up to 15% of weight when combined with a diet.

🔸 Orlistat (Xenical)
Blocks fat absorption in the intestines. Effective for moderate obesity, especially when combined with dietary changes.

🔸 Naltrexone + Bupropion (Mysimba / Contrave)
Affects hunger and pleasure centers in the brain. Helps reduce food cravings and combat emotional overeating.

🔸 Metformin
Often used in patients with insulin resistance, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity related to hormonal disorders.

2. Nutritional Support and Dietary Modification
- Individualized nutrition programs based on analysis
- Education on mindful eating
- Gradual development of healthy eating habits

3. Physical Activity
- Regular moderate exercise (walking, swimming, physical therapy) stimulates metabolism and accelerates fat burning.

4. Psychological Support
- Working on eating habits, motivation, and stress. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is often used, especially for compulsive overeating.

5. Hardware and Invasive Methods (as indicated)
- Cryolipolysis, cavitation, pressotherapy
- Endoscopic gastric ballooning
- Bariatric surgery (bypass, gastroplasty)
