How can medical weight loss boost my health and wellness?

Extensive research shows a clear link between being overweight or obese and an increased risk of numerous serious health issues. If you’re carrying a significant volume of extra weight, finding a weight loss solution that works for you is one of the most impactful things you can do to enhance your health. 

Some of the health problems with a clear link to being overweight or obese include:

• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Stroke
• Hypertension
• High cholesterol
• Sleep apnea
• Many cancers
• Sexual dysfunction
• Pregnancy complications
• Kidney disease
• Osteoarthritis

These are just a few of the health problems that can develop or worsen in people who are significantly overweight. 

How is medical weight loss different?

Virtually anyone can lose weight through extreme exercise programs or highly regimented diet plans. The problem lies in the fact that these results are simply not sustainable. Medical weight loss doesn’t rely on short-term solutions to temporarily reduce weight. The focus is on achieving lasting improvements you can easily integrate into your lifestyle. 

Medications might be part of your weight loss experience and may include injections, drops, or pills. Drug therapy can help by controlling your appetite or enhancing the way your body converts food into energy. Medication, however, is never used as a stand-alone treatment. 

Your practitioner also provides personalized guidance on nutrition and exercise and can even help you identify triggers that may cause you to overeat. 

What can I do at home to enhance my medical weight loss progress?

The choices you make every day will have a significant impact on your weight loss journey. Your Luxe Aesthetics & Wellness, LLC, provider works closely with you to find ways to replace highly processed or nutritionally void foods with more whole fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 

You’ll also learn how to make moderate physical activity part of your daily routines. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to see real results; even adding a simple walk each day can help you lose weight and feel great. 

When you’re ready to get started, reach out to the office by phone to find an appointment time that fits your schedule. You can also book a visit using the easy online tool, which is available around the clock.
