Medical Weight Loss in Texas

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a scientifically-backed approach to shedding excess pounds under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss programs are tailored to the individual’s unique needs, taking into account their medical history, metabolic rate, and lifestyle. These programs often include a combination of dietary guidance, physical activity recommendations, behavioral therapy, and, in some cases, medications or other medical interventions.
