Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a provider-guided, individualized approach to weight management that addresses the underlying metabolic, hormonal, and physiologic drivers of weight gain rather than relying on calorie restriction alone.

There are many root causes of weight gain and not just caloric intake. Programs are based on a comprehensive medical evaluation, including assessment of insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, thyroid function, adrenal health, inflammation, and body composition. Treatment plans may include nutritional therapy, lifestyle modification, targeted supplementation, and prescription medications when clinically appropriate.

In post-menopausal and midlife patients, weight gain is often influenced by declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels, along with changes in insulin sensitivity and resting metabolic rate. Medical weight loss addresses these contributors to improve fat metabolism, appetite regulation, energy expenditure, and metabolic flexibility.

Ongoing monitoring ensures safety, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability, with the goal of improving not only body weight, but also cardiometabolic health, body composition, and overall vitality.
