Weight loss for men isn’t just about improving physical appearance – it can be a crucial step toward boosting energy, preventing diseases and enhancing overall health. Many men struggle with weight gain linked to age, stress or hormonal changes that affect metabolism and lead to increased health risks such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
At FagerCare, we offer expert advice and modern weight-loss medications to help you overcome these challenges and create a sustainable lifestyle.
Overweight men often experience a lack of energy that affects their health in various ways. Excess weight puts extra strain on the body’s organs and muscles, leading to fatigue and reducing both physical and mental endurance. Additionally, being overweight can disrupt sleep, cause hormonal changes and impact metabolism, further lowering energy levels. Losing weight can help men regain energy and improve their well-being, supporting a more active and healthy lifestyle.
Testosterone deficiency is a common problem among men, especially as they age and can significantly impact both health and weight. Low testosterone levels affect the body’s metabolism, making it easier to store fat, often around the abdomen, while also reducing muscle mass. This combination can contribute to weight gain and decreased physical strength, making it harder to maintain an active lifestyle.
Testosterone deficiency can also lower energy levels and lead to fatigue, lack of motivation and in some cases, depression, further affecting weight and health.
Androgen deficiency or low levels of male hormones like testosterone, is a common issue that can impact men’s health and lead to weight gain. The lack of androgens can slow metabolism and promote fat storage, especially around the abdomen, while reducing muscle mass and energy levels. This can make it difficult to maintain an active lifestyle and affect both physical and mental well-being.
At FagerCare, we offer support with weight-loss medications tailored for men with androgen deficiency, helping you regain control over your weight and improve your health.
Depression can deeply impact men’s health and often lead to weight gain. Men suffering from depression may experience reduced energy, low motivation and changes in appetite, making it difficult to maintain healthy habits. This can create a negative cycle where weight gain exacerbates feelings of sadness and lowers self-esteem.
At FagerCare, we understand the connection between mental health and weight. We offer weight-loss medications as a supportive tool, helping you take a step toward a healthier weight and creating better conditions for both physical and mental recovery.
Sleep apnea is a common issue among men, often linked to being overweight and can impact health in many ways. With sleep apnea, repeated breathing interruptions occur during the night, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue. This can make it harder to stay active and can encourage unhealthy eating habits, contributing to further weight gain. This weight gain can worsen sleep apnea, creating a vicious cycle where both weight and sleep problems reinforce each other.
At FagerCare, we offer weight-loss medications, which can be an important step in reducing sleep apnea symptoms and improving your quality of life.
The right levels of testosterone are crucial for men’s health and can significantly affect weight and overall well-being. Testosterone plays a central role in regulating metabolism, muscle mass and fat burning. When testosterone levels are optimal, they help the body build and maintain muscle mass, improving metabolism and making it easier to maintain a balanced weight. As testosterone levels decline – often with age – metabolism slows, leading to increased fat storage, particularly around the abdomen, which is a common area for weight gain in men with low testosterone.
For many men, balanced testosterone levels not only support a healthy weight but also improve energy, mood and overall quality of life.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
