According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 73.6% of adults over age 20 are overweight. 41.9% of those people are considered obese. These are staggering numbers. In fact, the CDC now lists obesity as a national epidemic.
It’s important to note that even “skinny” people can be at risk for health issues caused by being overweight. Your weight might not show that you are technically overweight, but if you are carrying extra fat around your abdominal area, you are also at a higher risk of a decreased life expectancy. “Skinny” fat, also known as visceral fat, is associated with higher levels of inflammation and puts you more at risk for high blood sugar and high insulin levels and predisposes you to pre-diabetes.
A study conducted by Duke University has shown that the life expectancy for Gen Xers and Millennials is going down. This is the first time in decades that this has happened. Being overweight or obese is the root cause of many chronic diseases, including:
- Coronary artery disease
- Stroke
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol (includes triglycerides which contribute to plaque in the arteries)
- Fatty liver disease
- Certain cancers
- Osteoarthritis
- Sleep apnea
- Endocrine disorders, including Insulin Resistance
- Alzheimer’s and/or dementia
- Mood disorders
- Back and joint pain

Hormone Replacement Therapy
Our process for the restoration of proper hormone levels is through the use of hormones that are identical in structure to those naturally produced in the body. Recent studies have shown that hormone replacement with synthetic hormones (hormones that are similar to but different in structure that our natural hormones) can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. At InShapeMD® we use only the highest quality hormones, thereby reducing the risk of dangerous biochemical reactions and health problems that can occur with synthetic hormones.
