In the United States, obesity is the second most cause of death, after tobacco use. Obesity is a chronic disease linked to a number of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, depression, sleep apnea, and more.

There are many benefits of fat loss and weight loss, including the decreased risk of serious health problems, increased energy, and better sleep. Losing weight by yourself or without the proper education can be a struggle. Personal Primary Care offers weight loss and fat loss programs that are customized to each patient, because we know that everyone has different health needs.

According to the World Health Organization:

• Worldwide obesity has tripled since 1975.
• In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight, and of these, over 650 million were obese.
• Over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016.

The increase in obesity globally is caused by the imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended. There is an increased consumption of energy-dense foods that are high in fat and decrease in physical activity due to our sedentary nature.

Now is the time to take action and lead a positive, transformational lifestyle through weight loss and fat loss! Improve your mood, energy, health, and lifestyle through our personalized, comprehensive weight loss management, fat loss, and weight loss programs offered by Dr. Talal Khan and his team.
