Many patients say, “Doctor, I hardly eat anything, yet I keep gaining weight.” This is not imagination or dishonesty. Weight regulation is governed by hormones, metabolism, sleep, stress, gut health, and muscle mass—not calories alone. Understanding why weight gain occurs despite reduced food intake is essential for effective and sustainable weight management.

Brain fog” is not a medical diagnosis, yet it is one of the most common complaints heard in clinics today. Patients describe a persistent feeling of mental cloudiness, poor focus, and slowed thinking. While often dismissed as stress or aging, brain fog usually reflects underlying physiological or metabolic imbalance.

Muscle pain is commonly associated with heavy exercise, injury, or physical strain. However, many patients complain of persistent muscle aches without any clear trigger.

Understanding this symptom helps prevent unnecessary anxiety and guides appropriate care.
