Your weight has increased without a clear change in your habits

You've tried diet and exercise but the weight isn't moving

You suspect a hormonal issue like thyroid disease or PCOS could be involved

You're experiencing mid-life weight gain that feels different from before

You want to discuss GLP-1 medications or other pharmacological options

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common medical causes of unexplained weight gain?

Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Cushing's syndrome, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, depression, and medication side effects (corticosteroids, certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, beta-blockers) are among the most clinically significant causes. A clinical evaluation distinguishes medical from behavioral contributors.

When should weight gain prompt medical evaluation?

Evaluation is warranted when weight gain is rapid, unexplained by diet or activity changes, associated with other symptoms (fatigue, cold intolerance, irregular periods, stretch marks, excessive thirst), or when previous weight management attempts have been consistently unsuccessful.

What medications are available for weight management?

GLP-1 receptor agonists — semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Zepbound) — represent a significant advance in medical obesity treatment, producing 15–20%+ body weight loss in clinical trials. Older agents (orlistat, phentermine-topiramate, bupropion-naltrexone) are also available. Medication is used alongside lifestyle intervention, not instead of it.

How much does lifestyle change alone achieve for weight management?

Structured lifestyle intervention — combining dietary changes, increased physical activity, and behavioral support — typically produces 5–10% body weight loss and maintenance. This level of loss produces meaningful improvement in metabolic risk. Greater loss generally requires pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery in appropriate candidates.

What side effects are associated with weight management treatments?

GLP-1 agonists commonly cause nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite — improving with dose titration. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis and gallbladder disease. Orlistat causes GI side effects from fat malabsorption. Phentermine-topiramate may cause elevated heart rate and cognitive side effects. Weight Gain visit What to expect from a Weight Gain visit
