Weight Loss Q & A

What is weight loss?

Medically supervised weight loss is a personalized treatment plan that helps you lose weight and keep it off. 

Instead of recommending fad diets or trendy exercise programs, the team at Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic develops weight-loss treatment plans based on each individual’s unique needs and medical history. This attention to detail ensures positive results and long-lasting outcomes.

Why is weight loss important?

Weight loss is important because if you’re overweight, you’re also more likely to experience potentially serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of these issues and allow you to remain mobile. 

What does medically supervised weight loss involve?

At Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic, the medically supervised weight-loss program features several aspects, including:

Dietary counseling

If you eat a diet that contains lots of salt, sugar, or saturated fats, it can be difficult to lose weight and keep it off. Your provider can recommend meals and snacks that provide your body with the vitamins and minerals you need to thrive. 

Weekly accountability sessions

To ensure you stay on track and reach your goals, medically supervised weight loss at Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic involves weekly accountability sessions. At each check-up, your provider weighs you, asks about any symptoms you’re experiencing, and makes adjustments to your plan as necessary. 

Exercise guidance

To burn calories and maintain a healthy weight, it’s important to lead a physically active lifestyle. Even if you don’t want to invest in a gym membership, the team can recommend exercises that align with your level of fitness, such as walking, biking, or water aerobics. 

Prescription medication

If diet, exercise, and routine check-ups aren’t enough to help you lose weight, the team might recommend prescription medication. Certain drugs can suppress your appetite, while others help speed up your metabolism.

Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic also offers Lipo-B, Lipo-C, and B12 injections to help complement your weight loss efforts.

Who is a candidate for medically supervised weight loss?

Anyone who is obese or overweight is a candidate for medically supervised weight loss. Following an in-office consultation at Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic, the team can develop a custom treatment plan that helps you achieve your ideal weight.

To request your weight-loss consultation, make an appointment at Walk-In Wellness Family Clinic by calling the office or using the online booking feature today.
