🧬 Genetics & Obesity: Understanding the Balance

While our genes can influence our susceptibility to obesity, they don’t dictate our destiny. Obesity is a complex condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.

At Dr. John Jorgensen’s clinic, we recognize the importance of a holistic approach:

👉Personalized Care: Tailoring strategies that consider your unique genetic makeup.
👉Lifestyle Integration: Emphasizing the role of nutrition and physical activity in managing weight.
👉Surgical 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 — 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. 🚫💰

It’s Hump Day!
Why don’t surgeons ever tell jokes while operating?

Because they don’t want to crack up in the middle of something serious! 😄

Hang in there — you’re halfway to the weekend!

🔍 What Is a Hernia—and Should You Be Concerned?
A hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue. They don’t always cause pain—but they don’t go away on their own.

🧠 Common Types of Hernias:
• Inguinal Hernia: Most common, occurs in the groin.
• Hiatal Hernia: Stomach pushes up into the chest through the diaphragm.
• Umbilical Hernia: Often seen near the belly button.
• Incisional Hernia: Can develop at the site of a previous surgery.

⚠️ Are Hernias Dangerous?

Some hernias are mild and manageable, but others can lead to serious complications like:
• Severe pain
• Obstruction
• Tissue strangulation (a surgical emergency)

🛠️ Hernia Repair Options:

Dr. Jorgensen offers advanced, minimally invasive hernia repairs to help restore your strength and comfort—whether it’s a simple or complex case.
