Medical Weight Loss Management Specialist

What is medical weight loss management?

Medical weight loss management is a physician-guided, custom treatment regimen designed to help you shed pounds and keep them off.

If you’re overweight, you’re more likely to experience chronic health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis. You might also experience poor mental health, including low self-esteem or depression. Medical weight loss management can help improve your overall health.

Throughout treatment, you visit Weingrow Wellness & Medical Center for routine checkups. The team monitors your progress and makes adjustments to the plan as necessary to ensure a positive and long-lasting outcome.

What does medical weight loss management involve?

At Weingrow Wellness & Medical Center, medical weight loss management involves a combination of treatments, including:

Prescription appetite suppressants

Appetite suppressants are prescription drugs that prevent you from overeating. Some of the most common appetite suppressants the team prescribes include phentermine, phendimetrazine, and Contrave®.

By minimizing your appetite, it’s possible to cut back on snacks and large meals that may prevent you from achieving your goals.

B-12 injections

B-12 injections help speed up your metabolism and provide additional energy. They make it easier to stay physically active, allowing you to burn more calories.

Nutritional guidance

If you eat a diet that primarily consists of fatty or salty foods, you’re more likely to gain weight. Consuming a balanced diet that features fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can boost your metabolism, minimize weight gain, and even lower the risk of weight-related health problems like heart disease and diabetes.

Exercise recommendations

To successfully lose weight and keep it off, you need to incorporate exercise into your routine. After a physical and a discussion of your goals, the team recommends easy at-home exercises that align with your level of fitness while boosting your metabolism.

How long does medical weight loss management take?

The length of time you’ll need to participate in medical weight loss management depends on several factors, including your goals and medical history.

Following an in-office consultation, the team establishes a treatment plan with unique metrics that track your individual progress.
