Making healthy choices and keeping your diet on track takes careful planning, perseverance and personalized support. During the past few months, as everyone spent more time at home or inside than ever before, it was easy to stray from those healthy habits.
Monifa Khorshid, clinic manager at Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Canton understands. She wants everyone to be assured that returning to the program – no matter how much time you’ve been away – is a step in the right direction. There’s no reason to hesitate.
In fact, she’s been busy talking to many former patients who have decided to return. And overwhelmingly, she says, they are excited to come back.
Monifa Khorshid, clinic manager at Medical Weight Loss, is ready to assist when you’re ready to return to Medical Weight Loss Clinic.
“Patients are missing that support, that accountability,” Monifa says. “We sit with them for five or 10 minutes and it makes a huge difference.”
Monifa says she’s seeing more patients who are expressing concern about their health above all else. Some have been told by their doctors they need to lose weight, to regulate their blood pressure or cholesterol, or they discover they have diabetes or other symptoms that make these patients more susceptible to contracting COVID-19. That’s the incentive they need to get back on track.
She’s spoken to some former patients who struggled during the Stay Home Stay Safe orders because they were shopping more and had easier access to sweet or salty snacks. And she’s seeing patients who come who report having been depressed and overwhelmed.
“We tell them it’s always a new day,” Monifa says. “We lift them up 100 percent. We want them to feel supported.”
Monifa has worked for Medical Weight Loss Clinic for more than 9 years. She believes in the system and its customized, personal support. She’s been busy signing up patients, many of them familiar to her as they return to the program.
Today is a new day. It’s always a good idea to reach out when you need help with your health goals.
Should anyone request to see a counselor they know or remember from the past, the clinic tries to fulfill that request whenever possible. Because the staff in Canton has been there for years, it is often a possibility. And the Medical Weight Loss Clinic staff is there to counsel patients to reach those wellness goals – no matter where they are in their health journey.
Monifa knows the program works and she’s proud to work in a role where she has a chance to help others make their lives better every day. Those who seek out or return to the clinics feel the same way. “It’s a very good system,” she says. “Our patients do lose weight.”
