Approximately 70% of adult Americans are overweight or obese. Obesity can cause serious health issues including stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, and it is linked to certain types of cancer. Losing five to ten percent of your body weight can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in adult patients who are significantly overweight.
Our medical-grade weight loss management process offers information, support, and personalized recommendations. We target multiple factors contributing to excess weight — biology, genetics, medical issues, environment, and lifestyle — and stay current on the latest medical research about obesity and its treatment.
You can have confidence that you are getting a healthy weight loss plan that fits your basic needs and lifestyle.
Two options, both paired with Vitamin B6. Semaglutide works by binding to and activating the GLP-1 receptor, lowering glucagon secretion and stimulating insulin secretion when blood glucose is high, and targeting the brain areas that regulate appetite and food consumption. Tirzepatide acts on both the GIP and GLP-1 pathways, gives higher-potency weight-management support, and is usually tolerated with fewer gastrointestinal symptoms.
Weight loss management does not replace physical activity or a healthy diet. Studies indicate medical weight loss treatments are most effective alongside lifestyle changes, so medicines like semaglutide should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Causes of obesity
People tend to focus on diet and exercise, but you may be struggling with other causes. To manage weight scientifically, a qualified physician must tailor treatment to a full range of factors.
Stressors such as living with someone who is also overweight, family or work difficulties, or a long commute can all interfere with the ability to focus on self-care and healthy living.
Depression and anxiety can contribute to weight gain, as can disordered eating habits, binge-eating behavior, negative self-talk, and all-or-nothing thinking patterns.
Sleep habits, physical activity, beverage selection, and meal planning all affect health and weight. Addressing an underlying sleep problem can have a significant impact.
Arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or headaches can limit exercise. Conditions affecting cognitive function can make healthy eating behaviors harder to engage with.
Insulin resistance is among the most common causes, and certain genetic and hormonal factors contribute. Common drugs like beta blockers, insulin, and mental-health medications can increase appetite.
Our program starts with an assessment of your weight, medical history, medications, and a possible comprehensive hormonal workup. We then discuss your weight history — highs, lows, and their timeline — and your lifestyle, including sleep habits, meal patterns, exercise, and profession.
To support our medically advanced approach, we use only the most scrutinized and tested medicines, administered by trained professionals. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
We will discuss your current condition and lifestyle, then formulate a plan to reach your weight loss goals.
