I'm looking for advice from other forum users about which doctor I should go to for advice about weight gain. I'm not sure what kind of doctor I should be seeing for this issue, and I'm hoping someone here can provide some guidance. I'm looking for expert advice from someone who has experience with this issue. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for a doctor that specializes in this area? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

General Practitioner (GP)

If you are looking to gain weight, the best place to start is with a visit to your general practitioner (GP). Your GP will be able to assess your overall health and recommend an appropriate plan of action that may include dietary changes, exercise, and even medication. They can also refer you to a specialist if needed.

Endocrinologist

If you are having difficulty gaining weight due to an underlying medical condition, such as a hormonal imbalance, your GP may refer you to an endocrinologist. An endocrinologist is a specialist in hormones and their effects on the body. They can diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances that can cause weight gain issues.

Nutritionist

A nutritionist is a specialist in nutrition and diet. They can help you create a healthy eating plan that is tailored to your specific goals. They can also provide advice on how to make healthy food choices and provide expert guidance on how to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle.

Psychologist/Psychiatrist

If you are struggling with emotional issues that are preventing you from gaining weight, you may benefit from seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist. These mental health professionals can provide counseling and therapy for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

The first step is to visit your primary care doctor who can evaluate your overall health and determine the best course of action. They may order tests to rule out any medical issues and/or refer you to a specialist. Additionally, they can provide advice on dietary changes and may recommend supplements or medications to help with weight gain.
