Obesity. While this known epidemic has been a growing problem in our country for decades, there has been little done to rectify it. We have known about the risks that being overweight imposes on your heart, brain and circulation. We have more recently learned that obesity is the main risk factor for poor COVID-19 infection outcomes. Combating this disease has never been more important. The American diet, sedentary lifestyle and focus on success instead of well-being have all contributed to this medical problem.

 

Current therapy recommendations for weight loss are the standard diet and exercise rhetoric. While these are incredibly important components for optimal body composition, longevity and overall health, research has proven time and again that failure and/or weight regain is inevitable if using them alone. At Body By Barker, we understand the difficulty yet high importance of maintaining a healthy weight. We offer long-term prescriptive therapy in addition to your diet and exercise lifestyle to make your goals achievable.
