Celeste Tyson, clinic manager at Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Farmington Hills, is not only living proof that the healthy program works, she’s inspiring others to get healthy, too.
And on April 7 - World Health Day – Celeste shares the one thing everyone can do today to ensure a healthier future tomorrow. “Commit to doing some form of exercise daily,” she says.
Celeste Tyson is clinic manager at Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Farmington Hills.
It can be anything you enjoy – from incorporating a daily walk after dinner to biking or lifting weights. Doing one thing you enjoy every single day can help ensure a healthier tomorrow.
Health is top of mind for all who walk through the doors of a local Medical Weight Loss Clinic. Celeste says most patients come in who are looking to avoid a family history of health issues – like Diabetes. Another top reason they come to the clinic, she says, is to improve their appearance. Being healthier offers a boost to our self-esteem.
Celeste came to Medical Weight Loss Clinic as an employee nearly 2 years ago after working in the health care system. She was already familiar with the program. Celeste lost weight with Medical Weight Loss Clinic in 2012 – and it impacted not only her diet and lifestyle but her family as well. At the time, her 13-year-old son weighed 287 pounds. With the knowledge she gained from her weight loss program, she helped him lose 124 pounds - and keep them off.
“I taught him how to keep the weight off,” she says. “We started our journey together. It was one of my greatest accomplishments.”
For these reasons, she sees the program itself to be so much more than weight loss support. It’s about a healthier future.

“This is a new legacy we’re passing down to our families,” she says. “Just like your Grandma and Auntie’s cooking. It’s a different lifestyle. We want to be healthier.”
In advance of World Health Day, Medical Weight Loss Clinic has already seen an influx in new patients – so many of whom are looking to reach a healthier BMI and to prevent against a dangerous COVID-19 infection. And the staff is here to help. Celeste says one of the most rewarding parts of her work is seeing patients reach their goals – whether it be weight loss, BMI, or no longer needing medication to regulate blood sugar.
“They are able to decrease or eliminate medications entirely,” she says. “It motivates them.”
That’s a proud moment for not only the patient but the staff members who are working closely to help make it happen.
Patients range from 13 to 86 years in age at the Farmington location, Celeste says. She knows it’s never too soon or too late to reach out for help. And should anyone fall of course, Medical Weight Loss Clinic’s dedicated staff is ready to provide support. She works with her patients on not only the kinds of foods to eat and customizing a program that works for their lifestyle, but also tips to demonstrate how portion control can make a difference in a healthier lifestyle.
“Refer someone who can really benefit,” says Celeste.
