An unhealthy weight for men isn’t just about the size of your midsection. It’s about the back and joint pain, sleep apnea, heavy sweating, and difficulty performing everyday activities—not even mentioning the high blood pressure and high blood sugar. On top of all that, there’s the mental load you carry.
But weight isn’t always about willpower. If you’re doing all you can but the scale won’t budge, something deeper might be holding you back.
Understanding stubborn or potentially unhealthy weight for men means looking at metabolic issues and hormone imbalances that often complicate men’s weight loss efforts. When weight becomes a health concern, physician-supervised medical weight loss treatment can address what’s holding you back.
No single number defines when weight gain becomes unhealthy. Body fat, particularly around your midsection, can signal hormonal imbalances, metabolic slowdown or dysfunction, and/or increased risk for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Medical weight loss is designed for men whose weight has approached or crossed these thresholds—when weight gain becomes a medical signal.
