Obesity, Eating & Metabolic Disorders
Obesity is a major risk factor for many serious diseases. Sometimes your hormones are involved.
What are Metabolic Disorders?
Obesity and metabolic disorders are complex conditions influenced by genetics, hormones, lifestyle and environment. Obesity is a major risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnoea, joint problems and some cancers.
At EndoMedics, we investigate the hormonal and metabolic factors contributing to weight gain and eating disorders. Our endocrinologist assesses conditions such as hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, and insulin resistance that may be driving weight problems, and creates a personalised management plan.
