VLOG: Why Are So Many Americans Overweight?

The Gajer Practice Blogs

October 8, 2024

In this video, Dr. Gajer dives deep into the root causes of the obesity epidemic and why simply counting calories is not the solution. While “calories in, calories out” was a popular theory in the 1970s, it overlooks critical factors like metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances that play major roles in weight gain. We explore the impact of ultra-processed foods, poor sleep, chronic stress, gut health, and environmental chemicals (obesogens) on metabolism, offering a more comprehensive understanding of why weight loss can be so challenging. Learn how to take small steps towards a healthier metabolism and weight management by prioritizing whole foods, fiber, and healthy lifestyle habits.
