How can weight loss benefit me?

While your weight has no bearing on your worth as a person, carrying that extra weight can affect your well-being and cause further health concerns, including:

• Diabetes
• Asthma
• Eating disorders
• Migraines
• Cardiovascular or heart disease
• Some cancers
• Sleep disorders
• Infertility, miscarriage risk, or other pregnancy complications
• Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
• Depression

By promptly addressing excess weight, you can boost your quality of life for years.

How can I tell if I should pursue weight loss?

The MOD-DOC team emphasizes general health and listens carefully to your symptoms and concerns. The body mass index (BMI) is a helpful tool.

You can find a BMI calculator online. The BMI lets you know if your weight is healthy for your height. A BMI over 25 could be overweight, and a BMI of 30 or greater typically qualifies as obese. If in doubt, the experienced MOD-DOC team can offer certainty.

How does medical weight loss differ from dieting?

While diets are influenced by trends and vulnerable to misinformation, medically supported weight loss relies on proven science and holistic care principles. The MOD-DOC team looks at your health as a person to remove obstacles between you and your goals.

You’ll begin with a physical exam and discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. If necessary, MOD-DOC maintains a full lab where your tests can be processed quickly to provide additional information.

Your personalized weight loss plan can include:

Hormone therapy

Hormone decline or imbalance over time can elevate cortisol levels, slow metabolism, and drastically affect one’s ability to lose weight. (Cortisol is a steroid hormone made in the adrenal glands. Too much cortisol increases inflammation throughout your body and weakens its immune response.)

MOD-DOC provides hormone therapy to address the root cause of problems instead of only focusing on symptoms.

Nutrition support

Food can be either an obstacle or a helpful tool for weight loss. You’ll see weight changes by giving your body the vital nutrients it needs. This means eating a healthy diet.

Lifestyle changes

Whether poor sleep patterns, insufficient exercise, or chronic stress are chipping away at your success, the team builds solutions into your plan and can adjust when needed.
