𧬠Genetics & Obesity: Understanding the Balance
While our genes can influence our susceptibility to obesity, they donāt dictate our destiny. Obesity is a complex condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
At Dr. John Jorgensenās clinic, we recognize the importance of a holistic approach:
šPersonalized Care: Tailoring strategies that consider your unique genetic makeup.
šLifestyle Integration: Emphasizing the role of nutrition and physical activity in managing weight.
šSurgical Options: For some, bariatric surgery may be a viable path to achieving health goals.
Remember, while genetics set the stage, your choices play the lead role.

The hype is real ā but so are the risks. GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) can cause GI distress, nutrient deficiencies, and many other symptoms.
And with monthly costs often $$$, many are left paying a high price for short-term results. š«š°
Because they donāt want to crack up in the middle of something serious! š
Hang in there ā youāre halfway to the weekend!
