What is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss provides a comprehensive framework for reaching and managing a healthy weight under the supervision of a physician. Unlike fad diets or one-size-fits-all programs, medical weight loss at Ageless Health Institute is tailored to each individual’s unique needs, health status, and weight loss goals.
Our medical weight loss program combines several key components:
Thorough medical evaluation
Customized nutrition plans
Personalized exercise recommendations
Behavioral counseling
FDA-approved medications (when appropriate)
Ongoing support and monitoring
Examining the intricate factors behind weight gain and obesity—such as genetics, metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle—helps us develop a more effective and sustainable weight loss strategy.
How Does Medical Weight Loss Work?
At Ageless Health Institute, our medical weight loss program follows a structured, evidence-based approach:
Comprehensive Assessment
This includes a detailed medical history review, physical examination, body composition analysis, blood work to screen for underlying health issues, and an evaluation of current diet and exercise habits.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment results, we create a customized weight loss plan that may include calorie-controlled meal plans, nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, behavioral modification strategies, and prescription medications if appropriate.
Nutritional Guidance
We work with you to develop a balanced, sustainable eating plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences. We focus on teaching you how to make healthier food choices and develop long-term healthy eating habits.
Exercise Recommendations
We help you create an exercise plan that suits your fitness level and interests.
Medication Management
In some cases, FDA-approved medications may be prescribed to support your efforts. These medications can help suppress appetite, reduce cravings, or affect how your body processes fat.
Regular Monitoring and Support
We’ll monitor your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.
