Medically Managed Weight Loss
What is Medically Managed Weight Loss?
Medically managed weight loss refers to a structured program supervised by healthcare professionals to assist people with achieving and maintaining a healthier weight. This approach is an alternative to bariatric procedures. It is an excellent option for individuals who do not qualify for or are not interested in surgical weight loss surgery.
In a medically managed weight loss program, a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers, such as physicians, dietitians and other specialists, oversee the process, often incorporating dietary plans, exercise regimens, medications, lifestyle adjustments and regular monitoring of progress. The goal is to promote safe and sustainable weight loss while addressing underlying health issues associated with obesity. Medical supervision ensures that the weight loss plan aligns with the individual's overall health and medical history.
