Shedding pounds and maintaining a healthy body weight can be challenging for people of all ages and genders. Medical weight loss programs are available as additional support to diet and exercise. Our med spa offers medical weight loss programs that take a comprehensive and personalized approach to help patients overcome obstacles and achieve sustainable weight loss.
Medical weight loss differs from conventional weight loss methods by providing a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical supervision, personalized plans, and science-backed strategies to achieve safe and effective weight loss. Our med spa recognizes that weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all approach and requires a tailored plan to address individual needs, health concerns, and lifestyle factors.
A medical weight loss program begins with a comprehensive assessment at our med spa. This evaluation includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and body composition measurements. This initial appointment helps to identify underlying health conditions, metabolic factors, and potential barriers to weight loss.
Once the practitioner has a better understanding of the patient's current health status, they can begin constructing a nutrition plan. Usually developed by a registered dietitian, this plan takes into account a patient's dietary preferences, lifestyle, and calorie needs. It focuses on balanced meals that provide adequate nutrients while promoting weight loss. This nutritional counseling helps patients to understand portion control, make healthier food choices, and develop sustainable eating habits and is considered the first step in behavioral modifications.
Changing long-standing habits and behaviors is essential for successful weight loss. Medical weight loss programs often include behavioral therapy or counseling sessions to address emotional eating, stress management, and mindful eating techniques. These sessions help identify triggers and develop coping mechanisms to overcome mental barriers to weight loss.
For the physical barriers, our med spa will incorporate tailored exercise regimes based on the patient's individual fitness level, calorie deficit (if applicable), capabilities, and goals. Exercise options range from low-impact activities (walking, swimming) to more intense ones. Additionally, the med spa may recommend medications and vitamins for some patients to boost weight loss efforts. These medications can decrease appetites, increase metabolism, or inhibit fat absorption. Our med spa practitioners closely monitor their use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
It is important to know that treatment durations vary from patient to patient, depending on how well they follow instructions at home. However, to ensure patients stay on track, we will require in-office check-ins at least once a week. We will monitor the patient's weight and overall progress during each check-in. This allows us to change medications, exercise, and diet plans when necessary.
Medical weight loss programs offer numerous benefits over surgical alternatives. These programs offer a personalized approach. They are considered safe and effective, address underlying health conditions and behavioral changes, and provide ongoing support.
Our medical weight loss programs recognize that each individual has unique needs and will progress in the program at their own pace. By providing tailored plans and guidance, they increase the likelihood of successful weight loss outcomes.
With medical supervision and science-backed strategies, medical weight loss programs prioritize the safety and well-being of participants. They focus on gradual and sustainable weight loss, promoting long-term success and minimizing the risk of health complications.
Our med spa designs each program to identify and address any underlying health conditions contributing to weight gain or hindering weight loss progress. Targeting these factors improves each patient's overall health while safely facilitating weight loss.
Surgical weight loss techniques, such as gastric bypass (bariatric surgery), do not address weight loss's psychological and emotional aspects. Our program will tackle both aspects by providing patients with the tools and support to develop self-awareness and healthy habits they can carry with them throughout their lives.
We focus on equipping each patient with the necessary knowledge and skills for maintaining their results. With ongoing support, tools, and education, participants can continue their healthy habits and avoid weight regain.
Our medical weight loss approach can not only help you achieve your goals but equip you with everything you need to sustain the results. If you are interested in learning more about our science-backed weight loss program, contact our office today to schedule a comprehensive evaluation.
