Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a personalized, doctor-guided approach that combines medical treatments with alternative therapies. It targets the root causes of weight gain for long-term, sustainable results.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss refers to the process of losing weight with the guidance and support of healthcare professionals. Unlike traditional weight-loss programs that often focus solely on diet and exercise, medical weight loss incorporates a comprehensive approach. It combines conventional medical treatments with alternative therapies to address the root causes of weight gain. This integrative method is designed to create a personalized plan that fits each individual’s unique needs and lifestyle.

At Optimize Integrative Health, we focus on enhancing health through a holistic approach. We blend traditional and modern practices to offer personalized health solutions that not only aim at weight loss but also at improving overall well-being.

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Medical Weight Loss?

Before seeking professional help, there are several steps you can take at home to kickstart your weight loss journey:

Healthy Eating Habits
Focus on a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of unhealthy fats.

Regular Exercise
Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support your metabolism.

Sleep
Ensure you get enough sleep each night, as poor sleep can negatively impact weight loss efforts.

Mindfulness and Stress Management
Practice mindfulness techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to manage stress, which can contribute to weight gain.
