Being overweight poses a number of serious risks to your health. Obesity is linked to conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, kidney disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer.
Obesity can also affect your hormones and increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Getting your weight under control is the most effective way to reduce your risk of obesity-related diseases.
Although it’s possible to lose weight on your own, many people struggle with hitting weight-loss plateaus or weight that always seems to return. Underlying medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid disease can further complicate the weight-loss process.
