Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss Treatment

Medical weight loss is for those who want to lose weight in a healthy, stable way. It involves the help of a healthcare professional who guides you along the journey using their knowledge and experience to create a plan that makes sense for you and that meets your needs. Your healthcare professional gets to know you and, once that happens, they can provide the motivation that you need to get started on and continue your weight loss plan.
There are three main components to medical weight loss: the initial consultation, behavior changes, and weight loss medications. During your initial consultation, the healthcare professional will meet with you to discuss your goals and talk about your ideal weight. They’ll work with you to create a plan that will help you reach your goals and do the work in improving your lifestyle.

During the behavior modification stage, the two behaviors that are focused on are eating foods that are lower in calories and introducing a higher level of activity into your routine. We can provide nutritional guidance to improve eating habits, as well as recommend ideal exercise routines. We can also connect you to professional nutritionists and trainers for a more customized approach.

Weight loss medications may also be prescribed to complement the diet changes and exercise routines. These can help your body burn excess energy (also known as calories), and you will be closely monitored by the healthcare professional if you use these medications to make sure they’re a good fit.
