Weight loss is challenging. It involves changing your lifestyle and can be hard to sustain long term. Maintaining that accomplishment can be challenging, even for those who manage to lose weight. A medical weight loss plan can be the key to success.

At Body Bar MD, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson assists patients with weight loss in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN. Keep reading to see the reasons why medical weight loss plans can be helpful to you.

What is a medical weight loss plan?

Long-term weight loss means changing your lifestyle long-term so your weight doesn’t rebound. It can be a life-long battle for many people. At Body Bar MD, Dr. Christy provides people with a medical weight loss plan. The plan includes methods of losing weight that is overseen by a doctor and is particularly suited for those who have trouble with weight loss because they need to learn more about their body and its unique nutritional needs.

Dr.Christy uses a unique device called the InBody 720 body measurement scanner, which measures things like muscle, fat, and water to learn more about your body composition. For example, it can tell you how much of your body is lean mass vs. body fat and the areas where your body fat is concentrated, and provides valuable information about which areas need to be targeted with diet and exercise.

The InBody 720 also establishes how much of your fat is visceral (the stubborn fat surrounding your organs) and how much protein is in your body, which indicates how much muscle mass you may be gaining over time as you get more active). You can even learn about the minerals in your body to see how well you maintain a good nutrient balance.

In other words, your overall weight doesn’t tell you much about the kind of fat your body holds (and can, therefore, potentially lose). Only an in-depth body composition scan can do that.

Another crucial part of Body Bar MD’s medical weight loss program is our partnership with Robard New Directions, which offers patients who need it direct access to weight management shakes. And the best part is that you’re not alone on your weight loss journey – the friendly and compassionate counseling and support we offer patients plays an integral role in their long-term success.

Three reasons why medical weight loss plans work for long-term results

People who have struggled to lose and keep off extra pounds often find that medical weight loss programs give them the missing tools for understanding their unique bodies and how to nourish them and stay healthy.

In addition to providing state-of-the-art technology and improving your overall health long-term, there are three reasons why medical weight loss plans work:

1. Medical weight loss plans customize a weight-loss plan to suit your needs instead of providing a one-size-fits-all set of regulations that can be hard to follow. State-of-the-art technology allows you to get an accurate picture of your unique body’s needs for weight loss.

2. They help patients achieve more dramatic weight loss than diet and exercise alone, even if you have an exercise/diet group or support system. There’s just no replacement for personalized medical advice.

3. We monitor you along the way, providing support and encouragement in one-on-one counseling sessions. This ensures that you’re on track, that the program is working for you, and that you’re safe and healthy along the way to your weight loss goals.

Hormones play a significant role in how you feel, look, and act. As one gets older, they go through hormonal shifts that cause a wide range of changes, including weight gain, decreased sexual desire, moodiness, and low sex drive. While these changes are normal, you don’t have to live with them. At Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to balance the hormone levels of patients who are getting older but want to feel younger. While this treatment is often used for patients over 30, people may wonder at what age you should stop using bioidentical hormones. Here’s an overview of what hormone replacement therapy is and when you may no longer need it.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Your hormones do a lot for you every day, even when you don’t notice it. By sending messages to your bloodstream and tissues, they regulate processes like sexual function, reproduction, mood, and metabolism.

As you get older, your hormone levels change. In many cases, you’ll produce hormones at a slower rate, lowering your overall levels. This can have a significant impact on how you look and feel.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy helps even out this process. At Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Christy uses bioidentical hormones called BioTE®, which uses pellet therapy to help balance out your hormones. By placing a pellet under your skin, it releases the hormones you need. As a result, hormonal imbalances are addressed – and so are the unwanted symptoms that come with these imbalances.

How does hormone therapy help women and men?

Hormone therapy can help both women and men find relief from a wide range of symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

For women, hormone therapy can reduce:

• Hot flashes
• Memory loss
• Low energy levels
• Weight gain
• Moodiness
• Low sex drive

For men, hormone therapy can reduce:

• Moodiness
• Weight gain
• Low energy levels
• Low sex drive

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can also help women and men with chronic disorders like fibromyalgia and thyroid issues. For instance, BHRT can ease fibromyalgia symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and muscle pain. As for thyroid disorders, BHRT can help regulate weight gain, high cholesterol, and even heart issues.

At what age should I start and stop using bioidentical hormones?

Individuals can start using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy as early as about 30 years old. This is around when the body starts producing lower levels of hormones. In fact, many patients find addressing hormonal imbalances early can help keep symptoms at bay.

Hormone therapy is generally safe to use for as long as you need it. However, it’s important to monitor your hormones, including if hormone therapy continues to be beneficial. Dr. Christy can help create a plan for you, including if and when you should stop using bioidentical hormones.

Ease symptoms of aging with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

You can’t stop the aging process, but you can help stop the negative side effects that come with it. With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, patients in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN can find relief from some of the worst symptoms of getting older. From weight gain to moodiness to a low sex drive, hormone therapy can relieve these symptoms and help you feel young again. Learn how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson can help you balance out hormones for a more enjoyable life by contacting Body Bar MD today.

During the summer, going to the beach, swimming in the pool, and spending time outdoors may be some of the best ways to soak up the sun and enjoy the season. However, if you have dermal fillers, you may need to take some precautions. At Body Bar MD, with offices in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson uses Versa by Revanesse®, a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler made to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles. These dermal fillers can provide excellent results, but factors like sun exposure may impact your long-term outcomes. Here’s what you should know about dermal fillers and how to keep your younger-looking appearance for as long as possible.

What are Versa dermal fillers?

Facial wrinkles are a fact of life. Factors like age, smoking, facial movements, and sun exposure can all lead to fine lines and folds in your face. With dermal fillers, including Versa by Revanesse, done at our offices in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN, you can attain smoother, younger-looking skin.

Dermal fillers are facial injections that restore fullness and volume in your face. This can reduce signs of aging and help you attain results that creams, masks, and serums cannot. What’s more, Versa dermal fillers are the only hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in the country that come in a 1.2 mL syringe size, meaning we can provide 20% more product with each syringe.

How do Versa dermal fillers work?

At Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Christy creates a dermal filler plan to help meet your unique needs. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and concerns and create a plan for your dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are injected into your mid to deep dermis, which are deeper layers of the skin. They add volume to the skin, helping to get rid of moderate to severe wrinkles.

In total, your treatment will take less than 15 minutes to complete. After your Versa dermal fillers, you’ll be able to go home and return to your daily activities.

What results should I expect from Versa dermal fillers?

When you commit to cosmetic treatment, you want results. With Versa dermal fillers, you can expect smoother-looking facial skin almost immediately. You’ll also see your results continue during the following days. Your results from Versa will last about a year after your last sessions.

Versa also leads to about 50% less swelling compared to other products. This means you won’t have to worry about your appearance in the hours right after the injections.

Can too much sun exposure affect my dermal filler results?

While results from Versa dermal fillers are made to be long-lasting, there are some factors that impact your results. One of these is the sun.

For starters, you should avoid direct sunbathing and tanning beds for at least two weeks following dermal filler injections. After that, it’s important to use sunscreen. Just like skin without dermal fillers, your skin after dermal fillers can become wrinkled more quickly with too much sun exposure.

Wear sunscreen (even on cloudy days), and use a hat when possible. These actions will prolong your results from Versa dermal fillers, so you can enjoy younger-looking skin for as long as possible.

By scheduling follow-up dermal filler injections, you can also ensure your results last for many years to come.

Achieve younger-looking skin with Versa dermal fillers

If you want to achieve more youthful, smoother facial skin, Versa dermal fillers can help get you there. At Body Bar MD, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson will create a plan that helps you achieve your skin goals now and for years to come. Make an appointment at one of our offices in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN to help achieve younger-looking facial skin.

Laser liposuction with fat transfer involves removing fat from one area of the body and using it to add volume to another area. It’s ideal for people who are near their goal weight but still have stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise can’t touch, and who also want to sculpt parts of the body, such as the buttocks and breasts, where it’s difficult to add mass.

Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson performs this cutting-edge procedure using Alma BeautiFill® at Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN.

Keep reading to learn more about how this outpatient procedure can give you the body of your dreams and how you can maintain the results.

What can BeautiFill’s laser lipo and fat transfer procedure do for me?

The BeautiFill procedure can be completed in just one session. It involves first extracting fat from stubborn areas such as the stomach, arms, hips, chin, thighs, flanks, and bra line. Then, some or all of that fat is transferred to areas the patient wants to see enhanced and sculpted, like the breasts, buttocks, cheeks, and lips.

Because patients are thrilled with the results of the BeautiFill procedure, it’s natural to want to know how to make them last as long as possible.

How long do laser lipo and fat transfer results last?

A healthy lifestyle is crucial to getting the best results possible. In theory, the results of BeautiFill should last a lifetime as long as you don’t drastically gain or lose weight.

While it may take up to six months for fat cells to become established and for your body to get back to equilibrium after fat removal, once this happens, you should remain trim and sculpted. But no procedure can prevent further aging and the sagging of skin we all experience as time goes on.

However, patients can take a series of steps to ensure their laser lipo and fat transfer results are ideal and have a lasting impact.

How to make BeautiFill results last

In the weeks and months following laser liposuction and fat transfer, patients will want to ensure the healing process goes smoothly and the transferred fat survives. This may require:

• Avoiding strenuous activity for up to two months: Your body needs the energy to heal, but activities that involve bouncing (like running or using the elliptical) can affect the final results of a facial fat transfer. It’s also important not to burn off the fat that was just used to sculpt your body.
• Eating a healthy diet: A good diet will not only aid in recovery but also help you avoid putting on weight during the time you need to cut down on exercise while healing.
• Avoiding compression in areas that receive the fat transfer: This often involves finding a comfortable sleeping position that does not put pressure on the area where fat was transferred in the weeks after the procedure.

In the long term, the best way to maintain your BeautiFill laser lipo and fat transfer results is to maintain a stable weight. That’s one of the reasons it’s crucial to have the procedure done when you’re already close to your goal weight. A few pounds won’t harm you, but having laser lipo may cause you to gain weight unevenly.

Where to get laser liposuction with fat transfer in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN

At Body Bar MD, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson uses the popular BeautiFill procedure to perform laser lipo and fat transfer for patients who want to reshape their bodies.

With offices in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, it’s easy to schedule a consultation to discuss the BeautiFill procedure and find out if it’s right for you and your goals.

Many things come to mind when individuals hear the words “medical weight loss.” But it simply means any weight loss process done under the guidance of a doctor. It can mean surgery, weight loss pills, exercise regimens, or specialized dietary plans.

An essential part of medical weight loss is finding a doctor who has experience in treating people looking to lose weight and is familiar with creating realistic goals and a healthcare plan.

Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson at Body Bar MD can help you with a medical weight loss plan in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN. Below, we’ll discuss what that involves.

What is medical weight loss?

We’d all know by now if magical weight loss pills existed. The truth is weight loss is a long-term commitment. And while it can be assisted by medical interventions, such as surgeries and weight loss medications, those are still part of a larger treatment plan.

Dr. Christy understands the struggles that patients face when trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Some patients have been trying to get their ideal body for years, while others have been struggling with their health their whole lives.

Body Bar MD offers personalized medical weight loss programs that utilize the InBody 720 body measurement scanner and the Robard New Direction treatment plans. This involves a diet plan, counseling, and behavioral modifications that put patients on a path to sustainable lifestyle changes that help them lose weight and continue to control it throughout their lives.

What are the alternatives to weight loss pills for medical weight loss?

Weight loss pills may have troublesome side effects and often don’t come with support to help patients understand how to keep the weight off. Dr. Christy also understands that patients need the motivation to stick to a weight loss program and that they also need more than just a printout of a diet and exercise plan.

At Body Bar MD, we offer plans for those looking to lose those last few pounds or those looking to begin their weight-loss journey. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so your personalized program is built on the information you provide in your preliminary consultation and follow-up check-ins. For example, you don’t have to rely on medical weight loss pills to shed pounds, but they can be part of your plan if necessary.

Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of heart disorder, thyroid disorder, kidney dysfunction, or cancer are typically not good candidates for medical weight loss.

What does medical weight loss offer?

The first step toward medical weight loss involves providing your doctor with your health and diet history, including

• Past attempts to lose weight
• Any part or current health conditions
• Desired goals and outcomes

Based on this information, you will have a health assessment that typically involves an evaluation with the InBody 720 scanner to precisely measure your fat, muscle, and water levels to ascertain what treatments and lifestyle changes will help your unique body. Weight isn’t a good indication of health, so measuring things like stubborn visceral fat and muscle mass gives Dr. Christy a better idea of what your weight loss program should look like.

Body Bar MD also offers:

• One-on-one counseling to combat struggles like food addiction
• Weight loss medication and nutritional supplements, when appropriate
• The Robard New Direction Program, a prescription-only meal replacement option

Depending on your needs, your program may last weeks or months. And Dr. Kirkendol can monitor your health or schedule follow-up appointments to make medical weight loss as attainable as possible.

When your hormone levels are low or imbalanced, you can feel like a completely different version of yourself. From mood swings to sexual dysfunction to changes in your appearance, the symptoms of a hormone deficiency can affect virtually every aspect of your life. At Body Bar MD, board-certified physician and wellness expert Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson (aka Dr. Christy) understands the frustrating and devastating nature of hormone imbalance side effects and is committed to helping patients transform their health and happiness with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN. In this blog, you’ll find the answers to many of your questions about BHRT, including how this exciting treatment may change your body, your mind, and your life.

What is BHRT?

BHRT, or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, is a form of hormone therapy that utilizes plant-based hormones designed to identically mimic the body’s naturally occurring hormones. Not only does this make BHRT an attractive option for patients who prefer a more natural course of treatment, but bioidentical plant-based hormones are more easily and efficiently absorbed by the body, meaning patients can achieve rapid, consistent, and long-lasting relief from their symptoms. At Body Bar MD, Dr. Christy uses the unique and convenient BioTE® pellet delivery system to treat patients with BHRT.

What symptoms will improve with BHRT?

The symptoms of hormonal deficiency, menopause, and andropause – which vary from person to person – can all potentially be greatly improved through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Some of the most common hormone-related symptoms that BHRT can help to relieve or reverse include:

• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Lack of energy
• Brain fog
• Memory problems
• Difficulty sleeping
• Hot flashes
• Headache/migraine
• Hair loss/thinning hair
• Weight gain/weight loss
• Loss of muscle mass (men)
• Loss of bone density (women)
• Low libido
• Sexual dysfunction
• Vaginal dryness (women)

How soon will BHRT start working?

Some patients report a noticeable difference in their menopause or andropause symptoms within a week of starting BHRT, though most men and women report feeling markedly better about four weeks after initiating treatment. Over the course of BHRT, Dr. Christy will closely monitor your progress and can adjust your dosage, frequency, and other aspects of your treatment plan as necessary to ensure your results are satisfactory and consistent.

How often do I have to get new BHRT pellets?

On average, women require the insertion of new BioTE pellets once every 3 – 4 months, while most men can go about 4 – 5 months between doses. During your initial consultation, Dr. Christy will discuss your symptoms, explain how treatment works, and recommend the most appropriate treatment schedule for you. Again, the frequency of your BHRT dosing can be adjusted throughout the course of treatment. Should you begin to notice a return of unwanted symptoms prior to your next appointment, Dr. Christy may recommend more frequent doses, a higher BHRT dose, or both.

Enjoy life to the fullest and feel like yourself once again with BioTE BHRT in Carmel, IN

If you are tired of feeling like a dull, worn-out, run-down version of yourself, you may benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. To learn more about the physical and psychological improvements that can be achieved with BHRT, call either of our convenient Body Bar MD locations in Terre Haute or Carmel, IN to schedule your private consultation with board-certified physician and wellness expert Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson today.

In our early years, our bodies produce an abundance of collagen, elastin, and other naturally occurring proteins that keep our skin young and firm. As we age, this production slows down, which causes the skin to lose volume and develop fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes, we get increased unwanted volume in the form of fat pockets under the chin. At Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson and her team of aesthetic specialists offer innovative anti-aging treatment options. Patients have access to cosmetic injectables, including dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, and fat pocket reducers, which minimize the signs of aging without the hassle of invasive surgery.

What are cosmetic injectables?

Cosmetic injectables are used to combat the signs of aging by safely injecting the face or other areas with effective aesthetic mixtures. These injections cause little to no discomfort during treatment, and patients can return to their normal day-to-day routine with no required downtime.

Which injectables are good for anti-aging results?

Common signs of aging, particularly on the face, include fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, double chin, neck, folds, and thinning skin. At Body Bar MD, our team offers patients multiple dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, and fat pocket reducers. Each patient meets with Dr.Christy for a detailed examination to help them determine the right treatment course and recommended products to meet their personal cosmetic goals.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while adding volume to specific facial features, including the lips, cheeks, and mid-face. Several of our dermal filler products utilize hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component in the body that retains moisture to keep skin healthy, soft, and beautiful. Depending on the patient’s goals, their personal history, and their current skin conditions, patients can choose from a variety of dermal fillers available at the Body Bar MD in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN:

• JUVÉDERM®
• Restylane®
• Versa™

What are wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are injected into areas to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. While dermal fillers are injected into the skin to add volume, wrinkle relaxers are directly injected into facial muscles that are responsible for dynamic wrinkles. This includes wrinkles across the forehead, around the eyes (Crow’s feet), and around the mouth. At Body Bar MD, we offer the following wrinkle relaxer options:

• BOTOX®
• Dysport®
• Jeuveau®
• XEOMIN®

The type of wrinkle relaxer each patient uses is determined by Dr. Kristy’s aesthetic recommendations and each patient’s personal goals.

Are there injectables that help reduce unwanted fat under the chin?

At Body Bar MD, our specialists are pleased to offer KYBELLA® to our patients who want to get rid of unwanted fat under the chin. Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance, breaks down fat cells, reducing irritating fat pockets that won’t disappear with diet and exercise.

Am I an ideal candidate for cosmetic injectables?

Individuals are excellent candidates for cosmetic injectables if they:

• Are displeased with their facial skin
• Are looking for nonsurgical, anti-aging treatment options
• Have fine lines and wrinkles
• Have unwanted fat pockets under the chin
• Have volume loss in the face

Dr. Christy may recommend against cosmetic injectables if a patient has certain skin or blood disorders or if they are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult with Dr. Christy or a member of our team if you have any questions or concerns about your medical history and want to know if injectables are safe for you to use.

What can I do to optimize results during recovery?

After receiving any cosmetic injection, patients can expect some temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness. It’s crucial for patients to follow recovery recommendations provided by our expert team to promote healing and achieve desired outcomes. Examples may include:

• Avoiding strenuous activities or exercise for the first few days
• Minimizing sun exposure
• Avoiding extreme temperatures applied to injection sites
• Not wearing makeup or applying moisturizers
• Avoiding facial massages

How long do results last?

Depending on the injectable, the treatment plan, and adherence to healing recommendations, results can last anywhere from several months to a couple of years. Patients should attend follow-up appointments and inquire about future maintenance treatment sessions.

Where to go to learn more about cosmetic injectables

If you are experiencing signs of aging and wish to improve your complexion without going through invasive surgery, contact our team at Body Bar MD in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN and schedule a consultation today. Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson will walk you through the basics of cosmetic injectables and help you create your customized treatment plan.

If you’ve ever wished there was a way to resculpt your figure with less downtime than plastic surgery but more dramatic results than nonsurgical body contouring treatments, you may be excited to learn about BeautiFill®. This revolutionary laser liposuction plus fat transfer system offers patients the opportunity to remove stubborn fat in their problem areas and use it to enhance another feature – all in a convenient, in-office procedure that can be completed in as little as 1 – 2 hours. At Body Bar MD, aesthetic expert Dr. Christine Kirkendol Watson (aka Dr. Christy) is the only licensed provider of BeautiFill laser lipo and fat transfer in Indiana, offering treatment in both Carmel and Terre Haute. Review the advantages of BeautiFill below to find out if this transformative procedure may be the body-shaping solution you’ve been searching for.

What is BeautiFill?

BeautiFill is an advanced laser liposuction plus fat transfer system that can be used to harvest stubborn fat from virtually anywhere on the body and transfer it to another feature. Compared to traditional liposuction surgery and nonsurgical fat reduction treatments, BeautiFill offers a number of compelling benefits. As you get closer to making your decision between laser lipo vs. traditional liposuction, consider these pros and cons of BeautiFill:

Pros of BeautiFill laser lipo

• Can be used virtually anywhere: Most patients choose to have fat removed from the abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, or buttocks. This fat is then purified and injected into another area to make natural-looking enhancements. Common treatment areas for fat transfer after laser lipo include:

• Face
• Cheeks
• Lips
• Breasts
• Buttocks

• Shorter recovery period: For smaller treatment areas, healing and recovery may be as quick as 1 – 2 days. Larger treatment areas typically require about 7 – 10 days of downtime.

• Fewer side effects: Patients typically have minimal swelling and tenderness after BeautiFill. In addition, the risk of complications, side effects, or rejection is exceedingly low, as the treatment involves only the patient’s native fat.

• More convenient than surgery: Laser lipo with fat transfer can typically be performed without general anesthesia and takes just 1 – 2 hours, with patients able to return home almost immediately after the procedure.

• Long-lasting results: The advanced BeautiFill technology purifies, separates, and isolates only the most viable fat cells, meaning the transferred fat has an extremely high survival rate. With proper aftercare and stable weight, patients can enjoy their results for years.

Cons of BeautiFill laser lipo

• Results can change with weight fluctuation: Just like the results of both traditional liposuction and nonsurgical fat reduction, the outcome of laser lipo plus fat transfer can be compromised with weight gain or loss. However, patients can preserve their ideal shape for years or even decades by maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

• Limit on “how big” you can go: Generally speaking, laser lipo plus fat transfer is ideal for patients hoping to make more natural-looking enhancements to their face or body. Because there is a limit to how much fat can safely and appropriately be harvested and transferred in a single procedure, patients desiring a more dramatic change may be better suited to traditional cosmetic surgery.

There’s no denying the benefits of laser lipo plus fat transfer in Carmel, IN

Compared to traditional liposuction, BeautiFill laser lipo offers a more natural approach and remarkable convenience, while still helping patients achieve stunning, long-lasting results. To learn more about the gorgeous enhancements that can be made with BeautiFill laser lipo plus fat transfer, call either of our Body Bar MD locations in Terre Haute or Carmel, IN to schedule your one-on-one consultation with body contouring expert Dr. Christine Kirkendol Watson today.

Who needs medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss is recommended for anyone who has tried and failed to lose weight on their own. Our weight loss programs are normally designed for people who are overweight or obese, which puts them at high risk for health conditions, like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Medical weight loss is also beneficial for people who have already lost a significant amount of weight but have hit a plateau in terms of their goals. Body Bar MD can help you target those last few pounds so you can achieve your ideal size.

What is included in a medical weight loss plan?

Body Bar MD begins your weight loss program with a comprehensive health assessment. Dr. Christy will spend time discussing your past experiences and desired goals. We then take your measurements and BMI to establish a baseline as you progress through treatment.

Our program includes a tailored diet plan so you can make smart choices in terms of meals and portion sizes.

Patients are free to call and ask questions about their medical weight loss plan whenever they feel it is necessary. You may come in once or several times a month depending on your individual plan.

The human body is capable of performing all kinds of complicated functions. But when your hormones aren’t working correctly, there can be issues with how you live and work. Low energy levels, night sweats, and mood swings are just some of the unpleasant problems bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help correct.

BHRT restores balance to your body in more natural ways than other treatment options in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN. Dr. Christy Kirkendol Watson can produce positive results through the BioTE system in just 3 – 6 months.

If you’re interested in learning how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help you feel like yourself again, call Body Bar MD for a hormone assessment. We’ll help you determine how to move forward with your health in mind.

What causes hormonal imbalances?

Life stages like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause all have a significant impact on your hormone levels. Unfortunately, hormone changes make you feel unwell. Men and women over 40 experience problems like weight gain, fatigue, low libido, and moodiness, along with sexual dysfunction, that interrupt their everyday lives.

It’s easy to get discouraged when you can’t control how you feel. Hormone replacement therapy can help you restore your hormone levels and improve your overall quality of life.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are very similar to those produced by your own body (such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone). BHRT makes it easier for your body to process and use the hormones effectively for different functions. However, it’s important to consult with a medical professional in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN who understands the benefits of hormone replacement therapy and how it works. Dr. Christy and the team at Body Bar MD can help you with the following:

• Achieve greater mental clarity and cognition
• Restore your libido and sexual performance
• Reduce fatigue and insomnia
• Improve your mood
• Address depression and anxiety

How does BHRT work?

As we mentioned, Dr. Christy uses BHRT through BioTE to help men and women with hormonal imbalances. During treatment, pellets are placed just beneath the skin of your hip to release the necessary hormones into your bloodstream. These pellets are roughly the size of a grain of rice and shouldn’t cause any discomfort. Effects are expected to last between 3 – 6 months based on your individual treatment plan and health issues.

Are pellets right for me?

It depends. Dr. Christy takes a comprehensive approach to your hormone needs, which is why we perform an assessment at the beginning of your consultation. We can discuss your family history, lifestyle, and current health concerns to find out if BHRT is the right option for achieving better health. Pellets are ideal for people who don’t benefit from traditional treatments and aren’t interested in hormone medications, creams, or gels.

Correct a hormonal imbalance with Body Bar MD and BioTE BHRT

BHRT is one of the safest and easiest treatment options for restoring your natural hormone levels.
