Dr. Abraham Jacob – Hormone Replacement Therapy Testimonial
As We Age, We Tend To Gain Weight. Here’s Why…
- Estrogen & Testosterone levels decrease causing weight gain and the redistribution of fat causing an apple or pear shaped body.
- Increased insulin levels can reduce the body's ability to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, resulting in weight gain and sometimes Diabetes.
- Hypothyroidism causes our metabolism to slow down and can result in weight gain.
- Leptin, a hormone released by fat cells, triggers the brain to feel satisfied and reduces the urge to eat. The brain can become less sensitive, resulting in not feeling full during or after a meal.
- If your body is out of sync and suffering from a hormonal imbalance, your efforts to get healthy and fit are uphill battle that you may never defeat.

Meet Ashley Molloy, Managing Director & Weight Loss Program Director at Heart & Vitality at Plano
That passion and dedication also translates over to Ashley’s role as Weight Loss Program Director at Heart & Vitality.With Dr. Jacob’s training in Age Management Medicine in the fall of 2012, many of the staff at Heart & Vitality used his new-found knowledge on nutrition and weight loss to live a healthy lifestyle. Ashley implemented a Low Glycemic Index Diet along with HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training and enjoyed her strong health and fitness levels. A short time later, Ashley purchased Women’s Fitness Magazine which featured the 3x Ms. Bikini Olympia, Ashley Kaltwasser and her 12-week competition diet and exercise program. Ashley had never heard about the bodybuilding division, Bikini. It sparked her interest and she begin researching various competition training programs. She found an online based program. (Team VIP Online) and started with their basic plan, which is not meant for competition, but for beginners new to the fitness world. When Ashley first decided to commit to the program, she knew that she had to put 100% effort into it in order to succeed and once she made the mental commitment, she never looked back. Ashley was thrilled with the significant differences in her body: lowered body fat and increased muscle definition and decided to enter a Bikini Competition. In her first show, at the Oklahoma Championships she brought home (3) first place titles and was named the Overall Winner of the Bikini Novice Category. Three additional competitions netted Ashley several more top finishes.
Since she found such a passion in nutrition and exercise, Ashley earned her Fitness Nutrition Certification and established the Weight Loss clinic at Heart and Vitality.Ashley uses her training as part of a healthy lifestyle and does not subject her body to crash dieting.
