As most people have experienced, losing weight is not the easiest of journeys to embark on. If you have complicating factors such as chronic diseases, have tried to lose weight on your own and were unsuccessful, or have an interest in losing a significant amount of weight in a healthy manner at a healthy pace, you may want to seek the services of a doctor who specializes in weight loss. As more physicians choose to specialize in this medical field, the options for finding such a doctor become greater all the time.

Internal medicine doctors, general practitioners, and family physicians are some of the types of doctors well-versed in weight loss and general nutrition. Through their general practice, many of these types of doctors provide weight loss advice and assistance. The holistic approach to your weight loss and overall health is just one of the benefits of seeking weight loss by these doctors.

Medical treatment for weight loss is centered around four main methods: diet, behavior modification, medication when appropriate, and exercise.

Our programs are customized for you and typically include nutrition, exercise physiology, weight management, and behavior management.

Depending on your personal needs, your program may include:

• Medical monitoring by a healthcare provider
• Food plans, meal replacements, and nutritional supplements
• Advice from a dietitian
• Expertise from weight loss coaches

The amount of weight you are or can lose does not determine if you are healthy or not. Sometimes, it’s about what you gain in the process.
