Putting health at the service of life, and life at the service of health

⚠️ ‘Being overweight’ is not merely a number on the scales, but a signal of metabolic dysfunction.

In this diagram,
the left side represents the blood glucose curve commonly seen in obese individuals—characterised by sharp fluctuations, soaring and plummeting wildly.
This is not solely a dietary issue, but rather the body's resistance to insulin.

When excess fat accumulates,
cells become less sensitive to insulin,
forcing the body to secrete more insulin to ‘barely’ maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Over time—
🩸 Blood sugar becomes harder to stabilise, and fat accumulates more readily.
This marks the beginning of a vicious cycle.

The smooth curve on the right represents an ideal metabolic state:
insulin functions normally,
energy is fully utilised,
and fat is no longer excessively stored.
This is precisely the goal of scientific metabolic management.

By now it is common knowledge that being severely overweight puts people at increased risk of suffering from heart disease, stroke and diabetes and that obesity—defined as weighing at least 20 percent more than the high side of normal.

Obesity is a complex disorder that is characterised in several ways based on fat distribution, BMI, underlying causes, age of onset, and clinical impact. Understanding the types helps in effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.If you have any needs, feel free to contact me anytime to create a weight loss plan for you.

Obesity is a chronic medical condition defined by an excessive buildup of body fat that negatively affects health. Usually, it happens when a person takes in more calories than they expend, leading to fat storage, which is primarily measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Obesity is associated with serious health complications, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), sleep apnea, certain cancers, and joint disorders. Common symptoms include increased body weight, fatigue, shortness of breath, and joint pain.If you have any needs, feel free to contact me anytime.

The rapid development of global urbanization and modernization has lasting effects on lifestyle aspects such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, increased stress and environmental factors. These factors contribute to the alarming growth of obesity and type 2 DM worldwide. Obese individuals develop insulin resistance, which is characterized by impaired insulin action in the liver and reduced glucose uptake in fat and muscle [1]. While lifestyle changes and medications are recommended for prevention, they have not been successful in suppressing the increasing incidence conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms linking obesity and type 2 DM in order to address this global healthcare challenge effectively.

Heart disease external link is a term used to describe several health problems that affect your heart, such as a heart attack, heart failure, angina external link, or an abnormal heart rhythm. Having overweight or obesity increases your risk of developing conditions that can lead to heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol external link, and high blood glucose. In addition, excess weight can also make your heart have to work harder to send blood to all the cells in your body. Losing excess weight may help you lower these risk factors for heart disease.

The data from studies conducted in animal models and in people demonstrate that obesity-induced alterations in adipose tissue metabolism, extracellular matrix formation, immune cells (primarily macrophages) and inflammation (primarily SERPINE1) are involved in regulating metabolic function in other organs (Figure 1). Differences in these factors among individuals likely contribute to the heterogeneity in metabolic health associated with obesity in people.

What is Diabetes and How Does Weight Affect it?
There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes (previously called juvenile diabetes) occurs when an individual’s pancreas does not have the ability to make a normal amount of insulin.
In type 2 diabetes (previously called adult diabetes), the pancreas makes plenty of insulin, but the insulin is not being recognized by the cells for reasons that are not fully understood at this point. This is called insulin resistance. Because the cells don’t recognize the insulin, they won’t let the sugar in, so the amount of sugar in the blood remains high. The high level of sugar in the blood ultimately starts to damage blood vessels and lead to diabetes complications such as:
Heart attacks
Strokes
Blindness
Amputations
Kidney failure
The biggest risk factor for type 2 diabetes is weight.
Weight-loss is critical to the proper management of diabetes because it is the excess fat, especially the fat around our intestines known as visceral fat, that causes diabetes in the first place. Weight-loss of just 5-10% of body weight can dramatically improve your diabetes, reduce your need for medications, and in some individuals, reverses diabetes altogether. As we all know, losing weight and keeping it off can be exceedingly difficult.
