A Story of Transformation: Anjali’s Journey
At Vieroots, the health-tech startup I founded, we provide free wellness counseling through our doctors. One day, a young woman named Anjali (name changed), in her late 30s, came in for a consultation. After understanding her concerns, our doctor crafted a personalized action plan. Anjali, being well-educated, quickly reviewed it and agreed to most components—except one: Optimize My Weight.
“I Was Born This Way”
“No point in wasting your time or mine, Doctor,” Anjali remarked. “I was born this way.” When our doctor tried explaining the uniqueness of our DNA-based weight loss program, she interrupted with a list of diets she had already tried, all unsuccessful. Anjali was at our clinic to address her type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and she wanted to focus solely on managing that.
The Reluctance To Lose Weight
Anjali was open to doing everything to combat her diabetes. She signed up for our diabetes program Optimize My Sugar, was eager for a genetic test, metabolic assessment, and was willing to change her diet, start a fitness regimen, and take supplements. However, she was firm in her belief that weight loss wasn’t necessary or achievable for her.
The Interconnection Of Health Pursuits
After a patient discussion, the doctor explained how weight loss was intrinsically linked to her overall health, including diabetes management. Finally, Anjali agreed to give the Optimize My Weight program a chance. Fast forward 90 days, and she made significant improvements in her diabetes management, overall health, and—much to her surprise—weight loss.
The Science Behind Weight Loss And Health
Today, I came across a groundbreaking study that reinforces just how critical weight management is. This research, presented at the European Cardiology Congress in London and led by researchers at Antwerp University, revealed some alarming findings.
Obesity And Cardiovascular Disease
The study found that over two-thirds of deaths among people with high Body Mass Index (BMI) are due to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This is especially concerning as obesity has doubled in the past 40 years, with over one billion people now classified as obese.
Health Risks Of High BMI
Obesity was linked to various cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular risks, including:
- Atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic diseases
- Changes in heart structure and function
- Heart failure
- Thromboembolic disease
- Arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death
Beyond heart disease, obesity was found to triple the risk of type 2 diabetes, increase the risk of high blood pressure by 65-78%, and elevate the chances of dyslipidemia and organ failures such as kidney and liver damage.
The Power Of Weight Loss: The Ultimate Biohack
The study also highlighted the transformative power of weight loss on multiple health conditions, including how it can even send type 2 diabetes into remission. This makes weight loss the ultimate “maximum mileage biohack.”
But what if traditional weight loss programs aren’t working for you? That’s where the Vieroots Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program, Optimize My Weight, comes in. This novel intervention uses personalized diet and exercise plans based on your genetic makeup, ensuring success where other programs may have failed.
