An exciting new concept has come to The Atrium Lifestyle Centre. Obesity has recently been recognised as a chronic disease amongst the international medical community. This means that it comes with certain risk factors (genetics, lifestyle, other medical conditions) and will, in turn, contribute in its own right to complications such as heart disease, depression and kidney disease.
We are also learning that over-eating doesn’t necessarily cause obesity as much as obesity causes over-eating. Read that statement again for it to make sense – obesity causes over-eating. Therefore it is not a simple matter of just eating less or exercising more that will help you lose weight.
The Odyssey Weight Management clinic will take you on this journey – all travellers on an odyssey may face various trials and perils and may have to make some sacrifices but the rewards at the end of the journey are worth it. You will learn about yourself, your lifestyle and your strengths and qualified health care professionals will be with you to support you every step of the way.
Contact us today to find out more about how to start your journey.
