Medical weight loss refers to the process of losing and maintaining an optimal weight for your body with a plan made by a team of physicians, counselors, nutritionists, and physical training specialists. There are numerous medical causes that can lead to weight gains such as hormone imbalances, sleep conditions, genetics, medications, mental illness, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, and heart conditions. Your physician can help in identifying the unique causes that are contributing to your weight gain and provide you with an effective, safe treatment plan.

Although everyone’s weight loss program will be specialized to their needs and goals, a few of the main ways your physician at Integrated HealthCare of South Florida may help you lose weight include:

Exercise Plan
Your physician can consult with a trainer to create an ideal exercise plan. This plan could include walking, jogging, strength training, or helping you find daily movement that you enjoy. Finding a well-rounded, fun daily exercise routine that caters to your medical needs will offer much better weight loss results.
 
Nutrition & Diet
Eating the right amount of nutrient-dense foods will help boost your vitamins, balance your hormones, restore metabolism, and prevent chronic illness. Evidence-based medical nutrition plans have proven to treat chronic conditions that lead to significant weight gain. 
 
Stress Management
Counseling and stress management can help find the underlying emotional causes of obesity. Lowering stress through breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, and coping techniques taught by a therapist can help you lose weight. Studies show that stress management can improve energy levels, fatigue, hormones, and insomnia.

The major benefits of medical weight loss include:
 
• Long term success
• Emotional support when feeling discouraged or overwhelmed with lifestyle changes
• Avoidance of surgery
• Safe nutrition
• Avoidance of developing an eating disorder
• Personalized plan that addresses all medical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that have caused the weight gain
• Referral to nutritionists, positive personal trainers, and counselors
• Guaranteed accountability
• Keep your eye on not only the main goal, but the exciting journey to get there!

Medical weight loss is a much safer option to weight loss compared to following fad diets and exercise plans. What will work for some patients may not work for others. That’s why getting a customized weight loss plan tailored for your needs can be much more effective in the long term. Implementing an overall healthy lifestyle and medically guided plan will give you the resources needed to maintain an ideal weight.
