Medical Weight Loss Q&A
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss refers to taking the scientific approach to losing weight. Experienced medical professionals lead you in taking steps to lose weight safely and monitor you through every step of the process.
Put simply, medical weight loss is the safest and most reliable way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life.
When should I consider medical weight loss?
Consider a few simple questions when deciding whether medical weight loss might help you, including:
- Have you experienced ongoing problems with your weight?
- Have you ever lost weight only to gain it back and then some?
- Have you ever failed to lose weight when you thought you were doing everything right?
- Are you living with or at risk for weight-related health problems like diabetes?
Maybe you’ve been through months, years, or a whole lifetime of frustration around your weight, but rest assured, there is a solution through medical weight loss.
What are medical weight loss plans like?
Pulse Primary Care avoids all the fads and quick fixes because those approaches just don’t work long-term. Science and biology-driven methods are at the program’s core, so you can finally get the results you’ve been looking for all this time.
Pulse Primary Care’s internal medicine and primary care specialists address weight as a whole-person health problem. That means you receive a customized and well-rounded plan to help you lose weight while accounting for your general health and physical abilities.
Your plan includes:
- Nutrition education
- Diet, food shopping, menu planning, and portion control guidance
- Help with lifestyle adjustments like smoking cessation
- Help with an exercise plan
Weight loss medication is also available if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher along with a weight-related medical problem like Type 2 diabetes.
Because Pulse Primary Care approaches weight problems as a multi-layered issue, they often find other issues at play. For example, some patients who have trouble losing weight have low B-12 levels. So, B-12 injections can help you correct that imbalance while possibly helping you lose more weight.
Pulse Primary Care is here to help you put the failures of the past behind you and lose weight safely. Call any of the three offices or request your appointment online today.
