Weight Loss and High Cholesterol or Triglycerides Concerns

The loss of even a small amount of weight can significantly decrease numerous health problems. Getting yourself to a healthy weight can also eliminate some health issues you may already have.  

Many of our patients are referred by their family doctor or primary care physician because of high cholesterol or triglycerides—these are lipid disorders also known as hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. Left untreated high cholesterol or triglycerides, which are fatty substances in the blood, can lead to blocked arteries which can then cause heart attack and stroke.  

High cholesterol and triglycerides can be caused by genetics or family history, a variety of other conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, pregnancy, hypothyroidism or metabolic syndrome, or even some medications like estrogen and birth control pills. Poor eating habits, excess weight and not enough exercise contributes to this problem too.  

This is a condition that is very treatable through diet, exercise and, as needed, medication. Our staff is very experienced in treating patients with high cholesterol and triglycerides and will work with you and your primary care physician to put you on the road to wellness.
