Medical Weight Loss Q & A
What is a medical weight management program?
A medical weight management program is a structured, physician-guided approach to weight loss and long-term health. Unlike fad diets or temporary fixes, our program is based on scientific principles that promote sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic function. We assess each patient’s health status, BMI, and lifestyle to develop an individualized plan incorporating:
- Nutritional Counseling: Personalized dietary guidance to support healthy eating habits
- Physical Activity Plans: Customized exercise recommendations suited to your fitness level
- Metabolic and Hormonal Assessments: Evaluations, including complete blood work, to identify underlying health conditions affecting weight
- Medical Management: Prescription-based solutions, including semaglutide, when appropriate to support weight loss
- Behavioral and Lifestyle Coaching: Tools to help develop healthier habits for long-term success
Does your clinic prescribe weight loss medications?
Yes, our physicians can prescribe weight loss medications, including Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and Mounjaro®. These medications work by slowing digestion and reducing hunger, which helps to regulate patients' of blood sugar levels and appetite. This makes it easier for patients to control their caloric intake and lose weight effectively.
How long does it take to see weight loss results?
Results vary by individual, but many patients start noticing weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. Significant results are typically seen within 3 – 6 months, especially when combined with lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Is Wegovy®/Zepbound®/Mounjaro® a standalone treatment for obesity?
While these weight loss medications are a powerful tool for weight management, they are not a standalone solution. For optimal results, it should be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and regular medical monitoring.
What can I expect from my weight management plan?
Your weight management journey begins with an in-depth consultation with our medical team. We will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and goals, conduct a BMI assessment, and complete blood work to create a tailored approach. Regular follow-ups ensure continuous support, accountability, and necessary adjustments to your plan.
