I'm Ready to Get My Weight Under Control: Can You Help?

Weight loss is a popular goal, but for many of us, it’s also elusive. If you’ve tried losing weight with less-than-ideal results, medical weight loss could be the solution. Here’s how it can help you.

A new year is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts, and for many of us, that means finally shedding those unwanted pounds. While that’s an admirable goal, it’s not always easy to achieve on your own. If diets have failed you before, it can seem even more daunting to get started once again.

Our team at Health Meets Wellness has a solution: the HWM Method for Weight Management — a completely customized weight-management program focused on a healthy, patient-centered approach for successful and sustainable results.

Why weight loss is so difficult

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your confidence, and it’s also essential for your health. Being overweight is associated with increased risks of several serious health problems, including:

High blood pressure
Heart disease
Stroke
Diabetes
Asthma
Sleep apnea
Arthritis and other musculoskeletal issues
Cancer

Despite these risks, about three-quarters of Americans struggle with weight challenges, largely because losing weight and maintaining those results is so challenging.

Weight management is difficult because many factors are involved. Despite what you may hear from well-meaning loved ones, being overweight isn’t just because we overeat and don’t get enough exercise. Underlying medical issues, like hormonal balance and nutritional deficiencies, also play roles, making it challenging to drop extra pounds with diet and exercise alone.

Diet plans are designed based on the general principle of eating less without considering the unique factors contributing to your weight-management needs. As a result, many diets don’t just fail to help you lose weight — they may actually result in nutritional deficiencies that drive weight gain.

Achieve your goals with our weight-management program

Medical weight management differs from commercial diets in some key ways. First, it’s completely customizable. Every aspect of a medical weight-management plan is tailored to your needs — and that means every plan is geared for success right from the start.

During your initial visit with our team, we will perform an exam, review your medical history, and discuss your weight-management goals. We might recommend lab tests to identify underlying medical issues or nutritional deficiencies that could be interfering with your efforts.

You also meet with our doctor, nutrition counselor, and health coach to review your goals and develop a comprehensive plan focused on helping you achieve your goals. In most cases, your plan includes:

Nutritional counseling
Exercise counseling
Strength training
Dietary supplements
Botanical products
Prescription medications

Throughout treatment, you meet with our team regularly to assess your progress and make adjustments as your needs and goals evolve. You also receive lifestyle guidance focused on helping you make healthy changes that enable you to maintain your results and enjoy better health for the long term.

Your plan also features digital resources, including online stress management exercises like meditation and yoga, as well as exercises, meal planning tools, and grocery lists.

Plus, we offer follow-up visits in our Midtown Manhattan office or online for patients in New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Florida, and Wyoming for optimal convenience.
