At the heart of the matter, managing your weight is about feeling better — and improving your heart health. Excess weight elevates the risk of heart disease. It increases the work load on your heart, raises your blood pressure, raises your LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglyceride levels, increases your risk for diabetes, and more.
While losing weight and keeping it off can be difficult, the staff of The Karen Yontz Center can help you create healthier habits and get you started on the path toward consistent weight loss and/or weight management.
