Medical Weight Loss: Understanding the Journey to Better Health

Overview

Weight loss is more than just reducing numbers on a scale—it’s about improving overall health, reducing risk factors for chronic disease, and enhancing quality of life. For many individuals, sustainable weight loss requires a comprehensive approach that includes medical support, nutrition, behavioral changes, and sometimes medication.


Causes of Unhealthy Weight Gain

Weight gain can be influenced by a complex interplay of factors such as:

  • Poor dietary habits (high intake of processed foods, sugars, or unhealthy fats)
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., hypothyroidism, PCOS)
  • Stress and poor sleep
  • Certain medications (e.g., steroids, antipsychotics)
  • Genetic predisposition


Health Risks of Obesity and Overweight

Carrying excess weight can significantly increase the risk for several serious health conditions, including:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Sleep apnea
  • Joint and mobility issues
  • Fatty liver disease
  • Certain cancers

  • Exercise Planning: Customized fitness routines are designed for all levels to support healthy metabolism and physical strength.

  • Medication Management: We offer FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide) or appetite suppressants, under medical supervision.

  • Behavioral Support: Through coaching and regular check-ins, we help patients build habits that promote long-term success.

  • Ongoing Monitoring: Weight, vitals, and lab markers are tracked to measure progress and adjust plans as needed.
