Condition
Weight Gain & Body Composition
Weight gain after 35 is often hormonal, inflammatory, and behavioral at once. A calorie app cannot see that.
How CIHW approaches weight gain & body composition
Weight Gain & Body Composition in this institute
Metabolic testing, hormone evaluation, nutrition, GLP-1s when indicated, and training that protects muscle.
First visit for weight gain & body composition
- 01What changed: menopause, a new job, a GLP-1 that stalled, or a kit that said low T.
- 02Body composition and metabolic labs - not only the scale.
- 03A sequence: food and training first, hormones if they are the leak, a GLP-1 only if it has a job.
The scale is a symptom
Adults 35-65 on the I-90 and Randall corridors often gain while “eating less.” Insulin, sleep, perimenopause, and low testosterone rewrite the same year. A calorie app cannot see that.
GLP-1 weight loss has huge search demand. We still will not run a shot without protein, lifting, and a plan for the dose change. Muscle is the thing people lose when the medication is the whole clinic.
What CIHW actually combines
Medical weight loss, GLP-1s, TRT, women’s HRT, and coaching live in one institute at 999 W. Main. That is the reason Schaumburg patients drive 22-28 minutes past a closer cash-pay clinic.

- 01
Do I have to go on a GLP-1?
No. Some people need hormones and food. Some need a GLP-1 with a landing plan. The first visit names which.
- 02
Will I lose muscle?
That is the risk we plan against: protein targets, resistance training, and hormone status next to the prescription.
