Physician Supervised Weight Loss

What is Physician-Assisted Weight Loss?

Physician-assisted weight loss refers to a weight loss program that is designed and overseen by a physician. Also referred to as medical weight loss, this type of weight loss plan usually involves a comprehensive physical assessment, medications and supplements, a prescribed diet, and an exercise plan.

At Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness, the team strives to create weight loss plans that have the needs of each patient in mind and to support you every step of your journey to better health.

What are Benefits to Healthy Weight Loss?

When you are overweight, especially if your body mass index (BMI) is at or greater than 30, you are a much higher risk for a number of health conditions. Healthy weight loss holds many benefits, such as:

• Decreased risks for common disorders
• Increased energy levels
• Improved self-esteem and sense of wellbeing
• Improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels
• Decreased joint pain
• Improved sleep and sexual function
• Overall improvement in your general state of health

In many cases, these health improvements can be seen with as little as 5-10 percent weight loss. Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness strives to help you see these, and many more benefits of your healthy weight loss.
