What is medical weight loss management?

Medical weight loss management uses science-based, physician-guided plans to ensure your nutritional and energy needs are met while you ease the stress extra pounds place on your body.

This can benefit your mood, fertility, and overall health, and unlike fad diets, the process is uniquely tailored. By evaluating your health, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your personal goals, Richard can create a customized, evidence-based program just for you.

How can weight loss management improve my well-being?

Women are slightly more likely than men to struggle with excess weight, which can adversely impact your hormones and overall health. Being overweight increases your risk of many health conditions, including:

• Stroke
• Insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes
• Heart attack
• High cholesterol
• Certain cancers
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Joint pain and osteoarthritis
• High blood pressure

As you achieve your realistic weight loss goals, your risk lowers and symptoms become less severe.

How does weight loss management work?

The process begins with a consultation at Monarch Medical, where Richard can discuss your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. From there, he’ll develop a plan focused on overall wellness, helping you achieve your goals, and making it easier to maintain your progress.

Nutritional counseling

Balanced food plans consider many factors, such as your dietary preferences, activity levels, and nutritional needs. At Monarch Medical, you’ll receive personalized recommendations, and your provider can also suggest medical-grade supplements if you have specific nutrient deficiencies.

Proper nutrition not only helps you achieve your weight goals faster but also enhances your overall health and mood.

Physical activity

No matter where you’re starting from, Richard focuses on finding activities you enjoy and encourages you to move more in your daily life. Professional guidance makes it easier to avoid injury while you improve your physical capabilities and revitalize your metabolism.

As your fitness improves, you may experience fewer aches and pains. Increased activity can also help promote deeper, more restful sleep.

Medications

The FDA has approved specific medications to manage weight, and your provider can explore this option to see if it’s right for you.

When you’re ready to see consistent, reliable results, schedule a medical weight loss consultation online or by calling Monarch Medical today.
