Medical Weight Loss for Postpartum Moms in Ocala

Postpartum weight loss is not just about willpower.

Many new mothers expect weight to come off naturally after childbirth. While that happens for some others struggle despite healthy habits. At Elite Medical Ocala postpartum patients often share the same frustration: doing everything “right” with little progress.

In many cases the challenge is hormonal not behavioral.

How pregnancy changes metabolism

Pregnancy and delivery trigger major shifts in estrogen progesterone insulin and cortisol. Thyroid changes are also common in the postpartum period. Together these shifts can slow metabolism and promote fat storage even months after delivery.

Sleep deprivation and stress further complicate weight regulation making traditional diet and exercise approaches less effective.
