How can weight loss improve my health?

If you’re carrying a substantial amount of extra weight, it’s difficult to overstate the negative impacts on your health and wellness. Extensive research supports links between being overweight or obese and a vast array of health problems. 

Losing weight can dramatically reduce your risk of chronic health conditions, including:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gallbladder disease
• Kidney disease
• Pregnancy complications
• Vision loss
• Depression
• Dementia
• Sexual dysfunction
• Hypertension

These are just a few of the health problems you can develop if you’re significantly overweight or obese. 

How does medically supervised weight loss work?

When you choose medically supervised weight loss, your treatment path is shaped according to your specific health needs and weight loss goals. You have the guidance and support of a trusted health professional who knows you and understands the challenges you face. 

Meredith takes great pride in delivering personalized care with medically supervised weight loss, which involves partnering with a professional to yield impressive results. 

For some, medications can help support weight loss efforts. There are several different options to choose from that virtually fit every set of needs. Meredith carefully monitors your weight loss progress and health while you’re on these medications. 

Lifestyle changes are also an essential part of any successful weight loss journey. Meredith works with you to find ways to boost your nutrition and enhance your activity levels to give your body the support it needs to shed excess pounds. The goal is to empower you to reach and maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life. 

How long will I need to continue weight loss services?

Your journey will be unique and shaped to fit your health, needs, and goals. Some people only need a few months of weight loss support, while others benefit from working with Meredith for a year or longer. 

No matter what your journey brings, you’ll have professional guidance and support as you move ahead. Some patients continue to check in occasionally, years after they’ve reached their weight loss goals, to ensure they’re supporting their health and wellness.
