Medical Weight Loss Program

What are some benefits of medical weight loss?

Carrying extra weight takes an enormous toll on your body. Virtually every organ and system struggles when you are beyond your healthy weight range and lack skeletal muscle mass and have a high body fat percentage, impacting how you feel both physically and emotionally.

Our best medical weight loss program in Washington DC reduces your risk of a number of different health problems and reverses obesity-related illnesses, including:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gallbladder disease
• Kidney disease
• Sexual dysfunction
• Depression
• Cognitive problems
• Pregnancy complications
• Sleep apnea
• Hypertension

Why is losing weight and maintaining those results so difficult over time?

If you struggle to lose weight and keep it off, you’re certainly not alone. A number of factors combine to make it easy to put on weight and challenging to reverse that trend. 

The American food supply is partly to blame. In most parts of the country, fast food is readily available almost around the clock. Grocery shelves are filled with highly processed foods, often with confusing labeling and questionable health claims. 

Many people spend hours each day in front of one screen or another, whether for school, work, or recreation. Getting outside and staying active is not always easy. Factor in poor sleep quality and high-stress levels, and you have the perfect environment for weight gain. 

All of these aspects of life lay the foundation for weight gain, but the true reason for obesity is the hormonal dysregulation of fat which is known as the hormonal obesity theory. This approach takes a different look at weight loss management and goes beyond the theory of caloric imbalance. 

How is our program different?

You’ve probably tried a number of diet and exercise plans over the years. You may even have achieved a degree of success, only to watch the pounds return as soon as you waver from the program. 

We don't rely on fad diets or extreme exercise routines to deliver results. The emphasis is on finding ways to improve your daily habits incrementally that reduce insulin resistance and how your body uses food to create energy. We achieved this by creating a two month program.  Our medical weight loss program or what we like to call our health program positions you for lasting success. To not only help you lose weight but decrease your risk of chronic illnesses.

Weight loss and being healthy isn’t simply a matter of  “calories in-calories out.” Obesity and chronic illness stem from various factors, with hormone imbalance being a significant contributor.

Our Medical Weight Losee Program Evaluates:

Your lifestyle

Your current diet

Psychological factors related to food

Our 2 Month Program Includes:

LAB WORK

We conduct a range of labs that are not typically obtained by your primary care provider to prevent chronic illness and assess your current health status such as;

Cardiovascular markers

Antioxidant defense

Inflammaging risk

Long term health

NUTRITION PLAN

This plan helps you tackle insulin resistance through a balanced diet that teaches your body to use carbs, fats, and proteins wisely for energy. Over two months, it guides you towards long-lasting results by tailoring your nutrition plan to your needs, specifying calorie targets, and outlining exactly how many carbs, fats, and proteins to consume each day and at every meal to reach your goals.

INBODY ANALYSIS

Our inbody analysis goes beyond your scale at home and evaluates your body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral organ fat (fat around your organs that lead to chronic illness), and hydration status. This information will help us create a customized plan for you regarding nutrition and exercise routines.

VITMAIN INJECTIONS/IV HYDRATION

Experiencing change can put your body under stress which is why we offer vital vitamins and nutrients your body needs during this process. We also tailor our hydration and injections to your specific lab levels. This unique feature will greatly support your journey to success and is essential for optimal health.

For eligible clients we may prescribe weight loss medication. This medication is designed to assist with weight management by regulating appetite and decreasing insulin resistance.
