Why Medical Weight Loss Might Be Your Answer

Having a healthy weight plays a big role in your overall health. Carrying excess weight places you at risk of developing serious chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.

Approximately 70% of American adults are considered overweight or obese. Many individuals try to lose weight on their own, and some have some short-term success, only to regain the weight plus more. The team at PharmXHealthOne, with locations in Boynton Beach and Port Saint Lucie, Florida, offers individualized weight loss plans to help you safely and effectively lose weight and keep it off for good.

Medical weight loss offers distinct advantages over going it alone with a do-it-yourself diet approach. If you're overweight or struggling to lose weight, there are many reasons to consider a medically supervised weight loss program. Here's what you should know. 

The medical weight loss difference

Here are some of the things you can expect when you take part in a medical weight loss program with PharmXHealthOne:

Customized plan

At PharmXHealthOne, our weight loss specialists design custom weight loss plans for each individual. While do-it-yourself diets are one-size-fits-all, our programs consider you as a unique individual with unique health and weight loss needs. Our programs produce real results by using science-backed weight loss strategies.

Technology

Our medically supervised weight loss programs remove the guesswork. We use an advanced tool to gain valuable insight into your physical health. The seca® body composition analyzer provides insight on your weight and health at a cellular level.

It's noninvasive and is able to calculate a number of important factors — such as how much fat, muscle, and water are in your body — in less than 30 seconds. We use data from the seca body analyzer to help create a custom weight loss program specific to you. 

Nutrition and exercise

The way you think about food plays a big role in successful permanent weight loss. Medical weight loss incorporates changes in eating habits, with customized exercise programs, to promote safe, permanent weight loss.

Medication

Some programs may include prescription, FDA-approved weight loss medication, as well as supplements. Our weight loss programs are completed under medical supervision from start to finish.

Staying on track

You can expect to check in with your provider regularly to ensure that you stay on track. Check-ins provide the opportunity to track and discuss your progress as well as make changes as needed.

Support from a medical professional is available every step of the way. From providing nutritional information to identifying potential roadblocks, our weight loss specialists are there to help you along your weight loss journey.

Who should consider medical weight loss?

Anyone who has 20 pounds or more to lose and is ready to make permanent changes should consider medical weight loss. And, if you've tried to lose weight in the past and have not succeeded, or if you've lost weight and gained it back, you may also be a good candidate for medical weight loss. 

Medical weight loss is a safe, proven approach that can help you slim down and keep the weight off for good. To learn more about medical weight loss and to see if it could help you, book an appointment online or over the phone with PharmXhealthOne today.
