Weight Control & Metabolic Resistance

Stubborn weight gain, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and appetite dysregulation. This is a program for patients looking for the Root Cause of Weight loss resistance, if they have failed conventional approaches to weight control using appetite suppressants and Nutrition support and they need a more advanced and specialized approach to investigate and identify roadblocks for long term success.

Clinical Overview

How we investigate and address this condition

Weight resistance is rarely a lack of willpower. At Clark Wellness, we investigate the underlying metabolic and hormonal blocks — such as high fasting insulin, leptin resistance, subclinical thyroid sluggishness, and cortisol dysregulation — that cause your body to store fat instead of burning it.

Common Symptoms & Signs Patients Experience:

Weight gain despite calorie restriction and exercise
Midsection / visceral fat accumulation
Intense sugar or carbohydrate cravings after meals
Afternoon energy crashes and brain fog
Elevated fasting glucose or HbA1c

Upstream Root Drivers We Target:

1Insulin resistance preventing cellular lipolysis
2HPA-axis cortisol elevation driving abdominal visceral adipose storage **Under Functional Medicine Program only**
3Hepatic steatosis (fatty liver) and impaired Phase I/II detox
4Dysbiosis and endotoxemia triggering systemic metabolic inflammation **Under Functional Medicine Program only**
The Protocol

Our Structured Approach

We don't guess — we test, prioritize, implement, and track measurable improvement.

01

Metabolic Baseline Assessment

Body composition analysis, advanced insulin/glucose markers, and a review of past diet and medication history.

02

Hormonal & Cellular Optimization

Correcting thyroid conversion gaps, adrenal health/cortisol support, and reducing toxin burden. The Weight loss program only does not look into Hormones. Those looking for Hormone testing choose our Functional Medicine Program.

03

Targeted Medical Support & Nutrition

Where appropriate, compounded time-release appetite support (Phentermine/Diethylpropion), lipotropic injections (MIC/B12), and tailored macronutrient pacing via BodySite. Microdosing Tirzepatide is prescribed when clinically indicated.

04

Metabolic Maintenance

Biomarkers and Body composition re-checks to confirm sustained progressy and body fat reduction.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I lose weight even when eating clean?

When fasting insulin or cortisol is elevated or thyroid hormones aren't converting at the cellular level, your body is biologically locked in fat storage mode. We identify and unlock those metabolic bottlenecks. *Cortisol and Hormone testing are done under the Functional Medicine Program only.

Do you offer the Crouch Clinic weight program?

Yes. Operating continuously for over 30 years in Hamilton (and Waco since 2022), our medical weight control program continues the proven protocols of Dr. N.C. Crouch and Dr. Mark Crouch.
