Uncover the Root Causes of Weight Gain with Spa 35: Personalized Solutions for a Healthier You

Are you struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts with diet and exercise? At Spa 35 Medical Spa in Boise, Idaho, we understand that weight gain is often more than just a matter of calories in versus calories out. Hidden factors like hormone imbalances, metabolic issues, and other underlying health conditions can make weight loss feel impossible. That’s why we’re here to help you identify the root causes of your weight gain with the expertise of our Nurse Practitioners, extensive lab testing, and a personalized approach to wellness. Voted Idaho’s Best Med Spa four times, Spa 35 is your trusted partner in achieving your health and weight loss goals. Best of all, our consultations are completely complimentary, giving you a risk-free opportunity to start your journey to a healthier, more confident you. Let’s explore how Spa 35 can help you uncover the reasons behind your weight gain and create a plan tailored just for you.
Why Weight Gain Happens: It’s More Than Just Diet and Exercise
Weight gain can be frustrating, especially when you’re doing everything “right.” While lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity play a role, underlying physiological issues often contribute to stubborn weight gain. At Spa 35, we specialize in identifying these hidden culprits so you can address them effectively. Here are some common root causes of weight gain we explore:

    Hormone Imbalances: Hormones are powerful regulators of your metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Imbalances in hormones like cortisol (the stress hormone), thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can lead to unexpected weight gain. For example:
        Cortisol: Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which can increase appetite and lead to fat storage, especially around the midsection.
        Thyroid Dysfunction: Low thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism) slow your metabolism, making it harder to burn calories and often resulting in weight gain.
        Sex Hormones: Declining estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause or menopause can cause weight gain, particularly in the abdomen, while low testosterone in both men and women can reduce muscle mass and slow metabolism.
    Insulin Resistance: When your body becomes less responsive to insulin, it can lead to higher blood sugar levels and increased fat storage, a common precursor to type 2 diabetes.
    Gut Health and Inflammation: Imbalances in gut bacteria or chronic inflammation can disrupt metabolism and contribute to weight gain.
    Nutrient Deficiencies: Low levels of essential nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, or B vitamins can affect your energy levels and metabolism, making weight loss more challenging.
    Sleep and Stress: Poor sleep and high stress levels can disrupt hormones like leptin and ghrelin, which regulate hunger and satiety, leading to overeating and weight gain.

At Spa 35, we believe that understanding the root causes of your weight gain is the first step to overcoming it. Our comprehensive approach, led by experienced Nurse Practitioners, combines in-person consultations with advanced lab testing to get to the heart of your weight challenges.
How Spa 35 Helps You Uncover the Root Causes of Weight Gain
At Spa 35, we take a personalized, science-based approach to weight management. Our process is designed to identify the specific factors contributing to your weight gain, so we can create a targeted plan to help you achieve lasting results. Here’s how we do it:
Complimentary Consultations with Our Nurse Practitioners
Your journey begins with a free, one-on-one consultation at Spa 35, where you’ll meet with one of our skilled Nurse Practitioners. With over 19 years of experience and a reputation as Boise’s top med spa, our team is uniquely qualified to guide you through your weight loss journey. During your consultation:
    In-Depth Health Assessment: We’ll discuss your medical history, lifestyle, weight loss struggles, and goals to get a complete picture of your health.
    Hormone Imbalance Evaluation: Our Nurse Practitioners will explore potential hormonal contributors to your weight gain, such as thyroid dysfunction, cortisol imbalances, or changes in sex hormones due to aging or menopause.
    Personalized Guidance: Based on your consultation, we’ll recommend the next steps, which often include lab testing to confirm suspected imbalances and identify other underlying issues.
There’s no cost or commitment for your consultation—it’s our way of helping you take the first step toward understanding your body and achieving your weight loss goals.
Extensive Lab Testing: Blood and Saliva Analysis
To pinpoint the exact causes of your weight gain, Spa 35 offers comprehensive lab testing using both blood and saliva samples. This advanced testing provides a detailed look at your hormonal and metabolic health, allowing us to create a plan tailored to your unique needs. Here’s what our testing includes:
    Blood Tests:
        Thyroid Panel: Measures levels of thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) to identify hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can significantly impact metabolism and weight.
        Insulin and Glucose Levels: Assesses for insulin resistance or prediabetes, which can lead to increased fat storage and difficulty losing weight.
        Lipid Profile: Evaluates cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which can be affected by metabolic imbalances and contribute to weight gain.
        Vitamin and Mineral Levels: Checks for deficiencies in key nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and magnesium, which can affect energy and metabolism.
    Saliva Tests:
        Cortisol Levels: Measures cortisol at multiple points throughout the day to identify adrenal dysfunction or chronic stress, which can cause weight gain, especially around the midsection.
        Sex Hormone Levels: Assesses estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to uncover imbalances that may be contributing to weight gain, particularly in women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, and men with low testosterone.
    Comprehensive Analysis: Our Nurse Practitioners analyze your results to identify patterns, such as a sluggish thyroid combined with high cortisol, that might be making weight loss difficult.

Please note: There are fees associated to lab testing and development of a customized treatment plan.
Personalized Weight Loss Plan
Once we have your lab results, our Nurse Practitioners will create a customized weight loss plan to address the root causes of your weight gain. This may include:
    Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): If imbalances in thyroid, cortisol, or sex hormones are identified, we may recommend bioidentical HRT to restore balance and support a healthy metabolism. For example, optimizing thyroid function can boost your metabolism, while balancing estrogen and progesterone can reduce abdominal fat gain.
    GLP-1 Peptide Recommendations: For many clients, our Nurse Practitioners recommend starting GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic (Semaglutide) or Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) to support weight loss. These FDA-approved medications, often used for type 2 diabetes, are highly effective for weight management, even off-label. They work by reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving insulin sensitivity, helping you lose 15–20% of your body weight on average. Most Spa 35 clients receive a recommendation to start Ozempic or Mounjaro as part of their plan, and we’ll guide you on how to access these medications through your healthcare provider.
    Lifestyle Recommendations: We’ll provide guidance on nutrition, stress management, and sleep optimization to address factors like inflammation, gut health, and hormonal disruptions. For example, reducing processed carbs can help with insulin resistance, while mindfulness practices can lower cortisol levels.
    Ongoing Support: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, retest your levels as needed, and adjust your plan to ensure you’re on track to meet your goals.
