Weight Gain and High Blood Cholesterol

Optimizing weight and cholesterol by implementing a nutrition-rich diet guided by KanodiaMD

When Mary started experiencing menopause her overall health was severely affected. She gained extra weight that was difficult to lose. Her blood cholesterol was higher than normal. As a result, she implemented various solutions to improve her health such as intermittent fasting. However, it did not improve her overall health issues.

As soon as she reviewed Dr. Kanodia’s website and learned that he obtained his training at Harvard University and Mayo Clinic, she was intrigued. At her first appointment, it felt like a dream come true because Dr. Kanodia spent an hour with her. He took the time to listen to what she was experiencing. 

Dr. Kanodia started with functional medicine laboratory testing, which included a more in-depth analysis than the average clinical blood tests and allowed the team to identify the root causes of her health issues. Based on the results, they formulated a personalized plan. The team focused on her hydration, by adding trace minerals to her water and they recommended specific supplements to take on a daily basis. They also implemented Bowen therapy, a holistic body technique that allows the body to get back into alignment. Additionally, they gave her brain exercises to enhance a positive mindset.

According to Mary, she feels more connected to her body and understands what it needs to remain healthy and strong. By working with the health coach and the dietician, she is able to manage what is put into her body. “I now know all the toxins that we expose our body to and am more aware of them. I am careful about what goes into my body as I want my body to have all that it needs to be healthy. I value the nutritional components more than ever now,” she mentioned.

Having worked with the KanodiaMD team now for two years, Mary feels that her health has improved drastically. She lost about thirty pounds and has returned to her optimal weight. As a result, she feels great physically and doesn’t experience fatigue. Now, her menopausal symptoms are controlled, including a decrease in hot flashes. For Mary, the emotional aspects are equally important. 

When asked about her favorite aspects about working with the KanodiaMD team, she replied “I appreciate the team really listening to me and because of them I find joy in the daily things that I did not before. Several years ago, I was in crisis and coming to Dr. Kanodia was the best decision I made.”
