Weight Loss Q & A

Why is weight loss important?

Weight loss can have a positive impact on your physical and mental health. Carrying excess weight strains your joints and increases your risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension (high blood pressure). It may also lead to fatigue and diminish your self-esteem.

If you carry extra weight, losing even 5% to 10% of your body mass can significantly improve your quality of life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC recommends using your body mass index (BMI), or your height measured against your weight, to calculate your range. Most health care professionals consider BMIs between 18.5 and 24.9 to be within the normal range.

What are the benefits of weight loss?

Weight loss offers many benefits if you carry excess weight, including:

Increased energy
Reduced joint pain
Improved mobility
Decreased risk of chronic disease
Reduced risk of anxiety and depression
Enhanced self-esteem
Better sleep quality
Improved cardiovascular health

Losing weight now can also save you time and money on health care in the future. For example, weight loss relieves pressure from your joints to help you move more comfortably.

Waiting to seek care can lead to osteoarthritis, a chronic pain condition that occurs when the cartilage around your joints breaks down. As the condition progresses, your treatment options become limited. Corticosteroid injections, medications, and physical therapy may be necessary to alleviate joint pain.

What does medically supervised weight loss include?

The first step in your individualized weight loss plan is a complete physical exam and medical history review that includes lab work and an electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate your cardiovascular health.

After your provider assesses your health and discusses your weight loss goals, your personalized plan may include:

Clinically proven appetite suppressants
Semaglutide injections
Weight loss supplements
Fat-burning injections
Monthly IV therapy for metabolism enhancement
Weekly weigh-ins
BMI and body composition measurement to monitor your progress
Weekly meal planning and coaching
Customized exercise plan with a personal trainer
Virtual group workout with a trainer

As a partner in your weight loss journey, the team also provides daily affirmations and encouragement to support and motivate you.
