What benefits does medical weight loss offer?

Medical weight loss programs are often more effective than fad dieting or attempting weight loss on your own. They help reduce your appetite, increase metabolism, burn excess fat, and ensure healthy weight management lasts long-term — often indefinitely. These programs also help you avoid nutrient deficiencies when reducing your calorie intake.

If you carry excess body weight, achieving your goal weight with the help of Horizons Wellness Family Health NP PLLC offers you more energy, easier weight loss, improved body contours, better disease management, and a lower risk of developing chronic diseases.

Is medical weight loss right for me?

To determine if medical weight loss is right for you and which program is best, your Horizons Wellness Family Health NP PLLC provider weighs you and calculates your body mass index (BMI). They check your vital signs, discuss your medical history, and complete a physical exam.

Your weight loss specialist also reviews your typical food intake, exercise patterns, and other lifestyle habits. They may suggest you undergo blood testing or additional diagnostic tests.

What can I expect from a medical weight loss program?

A personalized medical weight loss program may include the following components:

• Customized meal plans
• Individualized exercise programs
• Weight loss medications, if needed
• Treatment for depression or anxiety
• Dietary supplements
• Medical monitoring
• Disease management, if necessary
