Medical Weight Loss

A medical weight loss program is a supervised, evidence-based approach to losing weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, a medical program is led by licensed healthcare providers who tailor your plan to your individual needs, lifestyle, and health goals.

It combines medical assessments, personalized nutrition guidance, exercise recommendations, and, when appropriate, FDA-approved medications or treatments to help you achieve sustainable results.

Medical weight loss is ideal for adults who want to lose weight safely and improve their overall health. Whether you’re struggling with stubborn pounds, have metabolic or hormonal concerns, or want professional guidance to maintain long-term results, a medical program can be a supportive solution. During your consultation, our providers assess your health, review your goals, and determine if a medical weight loss program is right for you.

The program begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including health history, body composition analysis, and lab tests if needed.

We use Styku 3D body imaging for our weight loss patients. The Styku scanner offers a comprehensive body shape analysis, assesses body composition (fat versus lean body mass), and supports you in achieving your body composition goals by calculating your daily caloric expenditure and the maximum caloric intake needed to meet your target.

Based on these findings, your provider will develop a personalized plan that may include meal guidance, lifestyle coaching, exercise recommendations, and, when appropriate, weight loss medications. We monitor your progress regularly to adjust the plan and ensure you are achieving results safely.

Yes. Any medications used in a medical weight loss program are prescribed by licensed healthcare providers and chosen specifically for your individual health profile. These medications are FDA-approved and closely monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness. Your provider will review potential side effects and address any concerns before you begin treatment.

Results vary based on your starting point, metabolism, and adherence to the program. Many patients notice weight loss within the first few weeks, while others may see more gradual changes. Keep in mind that sustainable, healthy weight loss is typically 1 to 2 pounds per week. Our providers focus on long-term success rather than rapid, short-term results.

No. While your plan will include nutrition guidance, the goal is to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and is sustainable long-term. We focus on healthy, balanced eating that you can maintain beyond the program. Our team works with you to identify strategies that support weight loss while still allowing you to enjoy the foods you love.

We encourage exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. It can enhance your weight loss results, but it’s not mandatory to begin the program. Your provider can create a plan that meets your fitness level and gradually increases activity to support your goals.

Follow-up visits are an essential part of the program. During these sessions, your provider tracks your progress, reviews your weight loss and health markers, adjusts your plan as needed, and offers support and motivation. These check-ins help keep you accountable and ensure the program continues to meet your needs.

Weight maintenance depends on adopting healthy habits and continuing the strategies learned during the program. Our providers emphasize sustainable lifestyle changes that help you maintain your results long-term. We may recommend periodic follow-ups to support continued success.
