How can a medically supervised weight loss program improve your patients’ health?

Individuals with a body weight that is higher than what is considered as a healthy weight for a given height are described as overweight or obese.  Current estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show obesity affecting more than 93 million adults in the United States in 2015-2016.

Obesity is a serious health concern because those who suffer from obesity, compared to individuals of a healthy weight, are at an increased risk for health conditions and diseases, including the leading causes of death in the United States – diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.  Other serious health consequences associated with obesity include poorer mental health outcomes, reduced quality of life, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea.

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of and help treat these health consequences from obesity.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
