Weight loss for women

Weight loss for women is more than just shedding pounds – it’s a step toward improved health, balance and well-being. Women’s weight is often affected by factors like hormonal changes, lifestyle and metabolism, especially during life stages such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause.

At FagerCare, we are here to support you on your health journey. With our expert advice and specialized medications, we offer the best conditions for achieving sustainable and healthy weight loss.

Lack of energy?

For women, being overweight often contributes to a constant feeling of fatigue and low energy, impacting both physical and mental well-being. Excess weight strains the body and can lead to hormonal imbalances, disrupted sleep and reduced physical stamina – factors that all drain energy levels. This often creates a negative cycle where fatigue makes it harder to maintain an active lifestyle, further affecting weight and health. By focusing on achieving a healthy weight, women can boost their energy and create better conditions for a balanced and active lifestyle.

Women’s health and weight gain

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting many women and can lead to weight gain, especially around the abdomen. PCOS impairs the body’s ability to process insulin effectively, often resulting in elevated blood sugar levels and increased fat storage. This creates a challenging cycle, where weight gain can worsen PCOS symptoms, such as irregular periods, acne and excessive hair growth. For women with PCOS, weight loss can be an essential part of treatment, helping to reduce symptoms and improve hormonal balance. A tailored diet, regular exercise and sometimes medical treatment can make a significant difference in managing both weight and symptoms.

Menopause

Menopause involves natural hormonal changes for women, affecting both health and weight. During this period, estrogen levels drop, leading to metabolic changes and often resulting in weight gain, especially around the abdomen. In addition to weight gain, menopause can decrease muscle mass, cause fatigue and increase the risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.

Prioritizing a balanced diet, regular exercise and other healthy habits can help women combat weight gain and promote well-being during menopause and beyond.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormone, slowing metabolism and leading to weight gain, particularly in women. Symptoms like fatigue, feeling cold and low energy are also common, making it difficult to maintain an active lifestyle. Weight gain associated with hypothyroidism can be hard to manage through diet and exercise alone.

At FagerCare, we offer support for weight management with individually tailored strategies that complement hypothyroidism treatment, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight while improving well-being.

Lipedema

Lipedema is a chronic condition that primarily affects women, causing painful and disproportionate fat accumulation, usually in the legs and arms. This condition often results in weight gain that is resistant to traditional diet and exercise, as well as swelling, tenderness and bruising. Lipedema can significantly impact quality of life and physical well-being.

At FagerCare, we provide guidance and weight-loss medications tailored to each individual to improve health and quality of life for women with lipedema.

We help you reach your goals

BMI is a practical tool to estimate whether your weight is within a healthy range in relation to your height. By using a simple formula (your weight divided by your height squared in meters), BMI can indicate if you are underweight, of normal weight, overweight or obese.

Our medications are recommended for individuals with obesity (a BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (BMI between 27 and 30) where complications or risk factors exist, such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, high blood sugar, atherosclerosis or sleep apnea.

Frequently asked questions about our medications

Here we have collected the most frequently asked questions about our medicines to make it easy for you to find the answers you are looking for. If you have any additional questions or concerns that are not covered here, please do not hesitate to contact us – we are here to help and answer all your questions.

Who can access weight-loss medications?

Weight-loss medications are usually intended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, which is classified as obesity. Individuals with a BMI between 27 and 30 who also have weight-related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular diseases, may also be considered for treatment. Suitability is assessed individually by a specialist doctor who considers the person’s overall health, weight, lifestyle habits and other medical needs.

What side effects can occur with these medications?

Side effects of weight-loss medications vary depending on the drug and individual. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues like nausea, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal pain, particularly at the start of treatment. Some may also experience reduced appetite, dizziness, headaches, or dry mouth. Any side effects should be reported to your doctor, who can adjust the dose or evaluate alternative treatments.

Do I need to take weight-loss medications for life?

Weight-loss medications are not necessarily taken for life. They are often used to kickstart weight loss and establish healthier habits. The goal is for the medication to help reduce weight until sustainable lifestyle changes are achieved, allowing diet and physical activity to maintain the weight loss long-term. However, for some individuals, long-term medication use may be necessary to sustain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of regaining weight, especially if underlying health issues exist.

How quickly will I see results?

Results vary depending on the individual and medication, but many see gradual weight loss within the first few weeks. A typical weight loss of 5–10% of body weight is achievable within three to six months when combined with healthy diet and exercise habits. Some may experience faster results, while others may need more time to notice significant changes. Doctors will follow up to adjust dosages or set goals based on individual progress.
