Weight Loss Management
Diagnosis & Treatment
Have you struggled with your weight? Have you been told that your health outcome would be better if you could lose a few pounds? Have you felt embarrassed to discuss your weight?
Obesity is a serious public health problem because it is associated with some of the leading causes of death in the U.S. and worldwide, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and many types of cancer.
An oversimplified advice to eating less, and exercising more does not work for most people. At our weight loss center at GPFM, we recognize that obesity is a complex, chronic condition resulting from multiple environmental and genetic factors.
Our Approach
At our weight loss center, we focus on the whole individual. We schedule an in-depth initial visit, where we do a comprehensive assessment of your health, diet and lifestyle. From here, we create an individualized plan. Our plan includes:
- Medications when necessary- including - Semaglutide( Wegovy, Ozempic), Liraglutide, Phentermine (Adipex, Suprenza), Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia), Naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave), Tirzepatide (Mounjaro).
- Management of associated chronic diseases.
- Counselling regarding diet and nutrition, including supplements if necessary.
With the help of our medical experts and our in-depth program, you can finally look and feel your best and improve your quality of life.
