How can weight loss management help?

In addition, adult primary care professionals hold you accountable and encourage you every step of the way.

What are the health risks of being overweight?

Fat cells produce and release hormones and other substances that influence systems throughout your body. When you have excess fat, these biochemicals become imbalanced and negatively affect your health.

Your heart also works harder, and your joints are stressed when you carry extra weight. All these factors work together to increase your risk for weight-related diseases, such as:

• Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease and stroke
• Hypertension
• Osteoporosis
• Sleep apnea
• Fatty liver disease
• Kidney disease

If you’re ready to reduce the health risks that being overweight can cause, reach out to Adult Health & Wellness Center for the personalized care you deserve.

What are the weight loss services available?

Adult Health & Wellness Center begins with a thorough health assessment and tests, if needed, to determine if you have hormonal or nutritional imbalances. They also talk with you about what influences your weight and discuss your eating habits.

They customize your weight loss plan to fit your goals and lifestyle, which may include:

Nutrition counseling

As you lose weight, you need to obtain essential nutrients — a challenging task when you cut back on calories and portions. Your provider helps you create a healthy eating plan with nutrient-rich foods.

Lifestyle counseling

Your lifestyle serves as the foundation for losing weight. Lifestyle counseling explores areas that affect your success, including finding ways to exercise more, evaluating the emotional and behavioral issues that trigger overeating, managing stress, and getting quality sleep.

Supplements 

In addition to nutritional supplements to prevent deficiencies, your provider may recommend one or more natural supplements that support weight loss.

Medications

Weight loss medications are used for a limited time and as part of an overall weight loss plan that includes diet and exercise. The medications can kick-start your weight loss by suppressing your appetite, making you feel full, reducing food cravings, and limiting fat absorption.

Body Contouring

Losing weight is a tricky business. Body Contouring with the SculpSure® system helps you to put the finishing touch on all your efforts and achieve the shape you’ve always desired.

Your practitioner customizes your plan according to your lifestyle, needs, and goals.
