Being overweight or obese significantly increases your risk of serious health conditions. Excess weight can lead to serious issues, including:
Your mental health can also be affected. Studies show higher rates of depression, anxiety, and reduced self-esteem in individuals struggling with weight.
The Comprehensive Arthritis Care team supports and guides you in safe and lasting weight loss by providing education and assisting you as you make gradual changes in your diet, rather than trying quick-fix solutions. They encourage a balanced diet focusing on whole foods — lean proteins, healthy fats, fiber, and complex carbohydrates — paired with portion control.
You should also engage in regular physical activity, such as strength training and cardiovascular exercise, to help you maintain muscle mass while burning fat. Hydration and quality sleep play important roles as well, helping with metabolism and appetite regulation.
Dr. Ali and the team at Comprehensive Arthritis Care consult with you to learn which supplements can support your weight loss efforts while also helping with inflammation and autoimmune disorders. For example, omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and improve heart health, while vitamin D can help with weight regulation and immune function. You should also add probiotics for gut health support, which is critical for digestion and metabolism.
The team may also recommend green tea extract and fiber supplements to boost your metabolism and help control your appetite. Magnesium and B vitamins can contribute to energy production and stress management, too.

Even a small percentage of weight loss can lead to noticeable improvements in your quality of life.
