Medical Weight Loss FAQ's
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a clinician-guided approach to weight management that addresses the biological factors influencing weight, such as hormones, metabolism, insulin resistance, and lifestyle factors. Unlike traditional dieting, it focuses on personalized, evidence-based care.
How is medical weight loss different from dieting?
Dieting often relies on calorie restriction alone, which can be difficult to sustain and may lead to weight regain. Medical weight loss uses lab testing, clinical evaluation, and medical oversight to identify and address the root causes of weight gain, supporting safer and more sustainable results.
Who is a good candidate for medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss may be appropriate for individuals who struggle to lose weight despite diet and exercise, experience metabolic or hormonal challenges, or want a medically supervised approach. Eligibility is determined through consultation, health history, and lab evaluation.
Do medical weight loss programs use medications?
Some programs may include FDA-approved weight loss medications when clinically appropriate. Medication use is determined on an individual basis and is combined with lifestyle guidance and ongoing monitoring to support safety and effectiveness.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, starting weight, adherence, and treatment plan. Many patients experience gradual, consistent weight loss over time, with the goal of improving overall health rather than rapid or extreme changes.
Is medical weight loss safe?
When guided by licensed medical providers, medical weight loss is considered safe for appropriate candidates. Ongoing follow-up and monitoring allow treatment plans to be adjusted as needed to support long-term health.
Will lab testing be required?
Yes. Lab testing helps providers evaluate metabolic health, hormone levels, and other key markers that influence weight. These insights guide treatment decisions and allow for more personalized care.
Is medical weight loss available through telehealth?
Medical weight loss services may be available via telehealth, depending on eligibility and state regulations. Care typically includes lab testing, virtual consultations, and regular follow-up with licensed providers.
