Weight-Loss
“Losing weight is hard, however, we use a science-based approach and FDA-approved medications to make the journey a bit easier”
Let’s face it, losing weight is difficult, however, you do not have to go at it alone. You can reach your target weight through our fully individualized weight loss program. Our medically supervised weight loss program safely utilizes a combination of diet modification, exercise, and medications to assist you in achieving permanent weight loss safely!
Our clients are evaluated initially in our clinic to determine if they are healthy enough to participate in a weight loss program:
- Does cardiovascular and/ or pulmonary health diagnosis prohibit exercise?
- Do orthopedic conditions or past surgeries limit mobility and activity?
- Is there any underlying psychiatric illness that may prevent compliance?
- Is current medication contributing to the lack of progress in the weight loss journey? e.g. psychiatric medication, steroids, insulin, HIV ART, etc.
Caloric needs are calculated based on BMI and adjusted based on preferences on food intake. We provide flexible diet modifications for greater chances of lifestyle modification and long-term success.
The following individuals can benefit from a “medically managed weight loss program”:
- Overweight but generally healthy
- Morbidly obese
- Metabolic syndrome
During the initial assessment, dietary protocols are created based on our client’s realistic preferences.
The following is put into consideration and individualized:
- Are you willing to track your intake?
- Are you a meat eater?
- Do you fast intermittently?
- Are you OK with eating twice daily?
- Are you concerned with organic or GMO-free?
- Are you looking for flexibility?
Baseline measurements and histories being collected during evaluation:
- Prior weight loss surgery
- Prior weight loss programs
- Social history
- Waist-to-hip ratio
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Vital signs
- Weight
