Saving more money has stolen the top spot as the most common New Year’s resolution for Americans. Still, many of the top goals center around healthier living. Last year, 15% of people set a New Year’s resolution to lose weight.
If you’re joining those ranks in 2026, we want to help you get set up for success. Specifically, we can ensure that a metabolism problem doesn’t stand in your way.
If you haven't been able to move forward with your weight loss goals, visit Ashok Kadambi, MD, FACE, and our team at Fort Wayne Endocrinology. We offer personalized, medically guided weight loss programs. As part of your care, we work with you to help your metabolism serve as an asset, not an obstacle.
Here at Fort Wayne Endocrinology, Dr. Kadambi evaluates you to determine what kind of support you need for your weight loss journey. That often includes nutritional guidance and help with getting more physically active.
Additionally, Dr. Kadambi checks to see if any health conditions could be slowing your weight loss progress. For example, if you experience specific symptoms, such as fatigue, he explores whether a thyroid disorder is at play.
With hypothyroidism, your thyroid doesn’t create enough of the hormones for which it’s responsible. An underactive thyroid can slow your metabolism, contributing to weight gain, making it even harder to shed pounds.
Fortunately, Dr. Kadambi specializes in treating hypothyroidism. Usually, that means introducing medication to supplement the hormones your thyroid isn’t making.
With targeted care to support your metabolic function, we can make your weight loss journey easier in 2026.
We don’t stop there. Even if you don’t have an underlying health condition, Dr. Kadambi and our team work with you to optimize your metabolism.
What you eat and how much you exercise both play a role in the amount of calories your body burns. We can help you make choices that enable your metabolism to work its best, making it easier to drop those pounds.
Sometimes, Dr. Kadambi recommends medication to offer further support. Specific drugs can help boost your metabolism to burn more calories, moving the needle faster on your weight loss goals.
If you’re entering or in menopause, Dr. Kadambi might recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This therapy helps offset some of the metabolic decline that comes with dropping hormone levels.
In other words, Dr. Kadambi and our team have a variety of ways we can make your metabolism an asset on your weight loss journey — not an obstacle. To receive personalized support so you can move toward the new you in 2026, book your appointment online or call our office in Fort Wayne, Indiana, today.
