Overview of Weight Loss Treatments

Losing weight and keeping it off is a struggle for many people. Fortunately, weight loss clinics can provide safe, effective treatments to help patients achieve long-lasting results. At Vitality Medical Clinic, our weight loss clinic offers a comprehensive, personalized approach to sustainable weight management.

Our clinic helps patients lose weight and improve health through:

  • Prescription medications and injections
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Behavior modification
  • Fitness coaching
  • Ongoing support

With treatment customized to each person's needs, we empower patients to transform their lifestyle and relationship with food and exercise. Our physicians and staff guide patients step-by-step through safe, sustainable weight loss tailored to their body and health status.

Assessing Candidacy for Weight Loss Therapy

Not everyone is a candidate for prescription weight loss treatments. Our clinic carefully screens patients to determine if they meet the medical requirements.

To qualify, patients typically:

  • Have a BMI over 30 (or over 27 with obesity-related health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure)
  • Have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
  • Do NOT have uncontrolled medical issues that could be worsened by weight loss medication

Our clinic conducts a full health assessment, including:

  • Medical history review
  • Physical exam
  • Lab tests to check thyroid, liver, kidney function, etc.

This ensures patients can safely use weight loss medications for optimal results. We also require patients to make lifestyle modifications for long-term success.

Choosing the Right Weight Loss Medication

Vitality Medical Clinic offers all FDA-approved prescription weight loss medications:

Medication How It Works Average Weight Loss
Phentermine Suppresses appetite 5-10% in 3-6 months
Orlistat Blocks fat absorption 3-5% in 6-12 months
Saxenda Makes you feel fuller sooner 5-10% in a year
Qsymia Reduces hunger and makes you feel full 8-10% in a year
Wegovy Mimics hormone that suppresses appetite 15-20% in a year

Our physicians carefully evaluate each patient's health profile, weight loss goals, and prior treatments to determine the most appropriate medication(s).

Many patients find the best success combining medications with nutritional counseling and fitness coaching. This enables both pharmaceutical and lifestyle interventions to work synergistically for optimal, long-lasting weight loss.

Proper Dosing for Safe, Effective Weight Loss

All prescription weight loss drugs must be used properly under medical supervision to ensure safety and efficacy.

Our clinic provides careful dosing and monitoring, including:

  • Starting patients on the lowest effective dose
  • Slowly titrating up based on tolerance and weight loss response
  • Regularly assessing weight, side effects, health metrics
  • Adjusting doses or switching medications as needed

This methodical approach minimizes side effects so patients can adhere to treatment for ongoing weight loss. It also yields better health outcomes long-term compared to short-term aggressive dosing.

At Vitality Medical Clinic, your health is our top priority. Our physicians will not push aggressive dosing simply to increase weight loss speed. We optimize medications for safe, sustainable results.

Lifestyle Changes Are Vital for Long-Term Success

Prescription medications can effectively initiate and accelerate weight loss. However, incorporating healthy lifestyle changes is critical for patients to maintain success long-term.

Our clinic's behavioral coaches provide strategies to overhaul eating habits, including:

  • Meal planning and prep
  • Portion control
  • Mindful eating habits
  • Healthier substitutions

We also offer customized fitness training to increase activity levels. This combination empowers our patients to make manageable, sustainable improvements that support ongoing weight loss.

Small daily changes make a big difference over time! We provide the accountability and expert guidance needed to solidify new healthy habits.
