And, taking full advantage of the public's anticipation to find the easiest way to lose weight, companies throughout the world are striking up advertising campaigns and making millions from ill-advised, trusting consumers.

Many are unaware of the important role that hormones play in weight loss. If hormones are unbalanced, it can be extremely difficult to lose weight, or keep lost weight off permanently. Among many other functions, hormone balance also plays a part in how the body's metabolism functions, like how food is used for fuel, whether food gets stored as fat or burned as energy, whether or not the individual experiences feelings of hunger or satiety, mood and motivation. For those looking to uncover the reason why weight loss may have been too difficult in the past, Diet Doc now offers weight loss profile hormone testing, capable of revealing hormonal imbalances that may be hindering weight loss success.

Recent studies, reported in sources as venerable as Time magazine, have led scientists to believe that the main reason some gain weight while others lose weight is linked to what scientists are referring to as a "thrifty metabolism". The term reflects the idea that some people's metabolism is naturally more active than others', labeling those less active as "thrifty". As part of a comprehensive weigh loss system, the Diet Doc diet plan uses a combination of nutritionist designed food plans, medical supervision and guidance, and potent diet aids to try and naturally balance the body's metabolism, helping those who have struggled to lose weight in the past, possibly due to a thrifty metabolism, finally shed those unwanted pounds.

Because of the nation's very real obesity epidemic, pharmaceutical companies throughout the country are interested in learning more about the intricacies of appetite and hunger. Research has revealed that the same hormones and neurotransmitters that affect hunger and appetite also control mood and emotions. While there is still much to learn about appetite and hunger, the ultimate answer may lie in balancing the existing system of hormones and neurotransmitters. For this reason, the FDA has approved new prescription medications, including Contrave for weight loss, which is thought to be beneficial to those whose weight has gotten out of control due to emotional eating disorders or food addictions when taken in combination with a reduced calorie diet.

Science and research links obesity with an increased risk for dementia later in life.

In addition, fatty tissue is the largest hormone-producing organ in the body which produces inflammatory molecules which may affect cognitive functioning or the process of neuro-degeneration.
