Slender Wonder

LOSE WEIGHT THE SAFE MEDICAL WAY!

Slender Wonder is a medical weight loss program that treats patients who struggle with overweight or obesity. Only Slender Wonder accredited doctors, who were trained by the organisation, are allowed to prescribe and distribute the program. Slender Wonder was developed by a South African doctor, Dr Jan Botha and has between 150 and 180 accredited doctors countrywide.

Their safe and effective weight loss program has evolved over 40 years with tens of thousands of patients being treated successfully in South Africa.

The program is based on treating low leptin levels and has three components: a low GI eating plan, supplements in the form of capsules and a series of injections. The injections bring the leptin levels back into balance and help rid the body of ”abnormal“ fat in a safe and controlled way.Leptin is a hormone that is secreted by fat cells in white adipose tissue and has been found to be a signal to the brain, thus having primary influence on body weight. During a person’s lifetime, leptin levels drop. This drop may be accredited to the use of cortisone or the presence or progesterone and estrogen.

For this reason, some young girls are prone to obesity during puberty. Woman who are taking contraceptives, pregnant woman and those who have had hysterectomies, especially when it goes together with hormone replacement therapy, are also prone to lower levels of Leptin. Treating the symptoms and putting patients on a strict diet may work. However, if the leptin levels are not stabilized first, patients will put the weight back on once they start eating normal again. This is what makes the Slender Wonder programme different from other weight loss programmes. Slender Wonder focuses on the cause of obesity and not only the symptoms.

Major causes of being overweight:

Inherited slow metabolism

Research has proven obesity to be linked to genetic inheritance. Thus body weight can be influenced by genetic factors such as inherited slow combustion mechanism. Endocrine factors, increased deposition, etc.

Hormone sensitive metabolism

Puberty, contraceptives, pregnancy, hysterectomy, fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy often results in weight gain or obesity.

Low Leptin Levels

Leptin is circulating protein hormone produced by fat cells. Leptin regulates food intake by binding to specific receptors in the brain and thereby regulates neuroendocrine function and energy intake and expenditure. Deficiencies of Leptin are associated with obesity. Patients with high leptin can eat almost anything without gaining weight. Patients with low Leptin levels suffers from an increased appetite and desire for food, and everything they eat is changed into fat and stored. Causes of low Leptin levels include genetic factors, hormonal treatment, medication such as cortisone, antibiotics and antidepressants, viral infections, emotional trauma and stress, anaesthetics and compulsive eating habits.

Overeating

Some people overload their metabolism so much that the body can’t burn excess food fast enough, so the food is stored as fat. When this happens regularly, the brain’s ability to differentiate between hunger and cravings becomes diminished. Eventually it become extremely difficult to resist any craving for food and this leads to a destructive cycle of obesity.

Risks associated with obesity

Obesity is recognized as the most common disease in many countries all over the world. The term “disease” is perfectly justified since it can lead to illness and premature death due to a multitude causes.

Morbidity

Obesity influence both morbidity and mortality. Statistics shows a mortality rate of more than 50% greater than normal in overweight persons in the same age group.

Heart failure

Obesity causes an extraordinary burden on the heart function and eventually leads to heart failure.

Coronary artery disease

The majority of obese patients also suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis and poor circulation, all which can result in a heart attack or stroke.

Diabetes

Obesity is an important cause of Type 2 (late onset) diabetes.

Lung diseases

The increased burden on the lungs to supply adequate amounts of oxygen to the tissues, as well as the decreased ability of the lungs to move and thus properly function within the obese patient, leads to lung disease and heart failure.

Joint pain

Spinal vertebrae, hips, knees and ankles frequently show the effects of obesity.

Hormone disturbances

This frequently occurs in obsess woman and may lead to infertility.

Complications during pregnancy

It is known that obesity is one of the primary causes of complications during childbirth.
