Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a science-based approach to weight loss that involves a healthcare professional helping a patient achieve a healthy weight and lifestyle. It's different from traditional weight loss methods, which often rely on self-directed diet and exercise plans.

Medical weight loss programs typically include:

Personalized plan:

A doctor creates a customized plan based on the patient's unique needs and goals.

Lifestyle changes:

This may include diet and exercise recommendations, such as eating foods that are higher in energy and being more active.

Medications:

Prescription medications, such as Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro, can help the body burn extra energy.

Ongoing support

A dietitian or nutritionist can help patients understand how food choices support their goals.

Hormone therapy

If a hormonal imbalance is suspected, serum hormone levels may be tested and hormone therapy may be prescribed. Medical weight loss programs are designed to be safe, effective, and sustainable.
