If dieting and exercise have failed you – and you feel like you’ve tried every program and diet out there – we want you to know that weight loss doesn’t have to be an insurmountable challenge. A professionally supervised medical weight loss program is the key to losing weight safely and keeping it off.
With the aid of a structured, holistic, medical approach, we can assure you, weight loss is an achievable goal. How do we know? Because we have witnessed it with our own patients.
We have a full array of treatment tools for medical weight loss, but medication-assisted weight loss is one of the most exciting new options. The appearance of GLP-1 weight loss medications on the scene has only upped the success rates for weight loss among our patients. Studies have shown that people who use Semaglutide (WeGovy) lost about 35 pounds—or an average of 15 percent of their body weight. Some Tirzepatide (Zepbound) studies show weight loss greater than 20 percent.
Once weekly injections of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide that are compounded specifically for you could change everything in your struggle to lose weight. These types of injectables work the same as the weight loss drugs WeGovy, Ozempic or Zepbound, without supply chain issues – and at a fraction of the cost. These compounded weight loss drugs have the added advantage of being tailored to fit your doctor's specifications.
Successful, sustained weight loss is no longer just a dream. We can help you make it a reality. Contact Mid-Florida Age Management to discuss our transformational Medical Weight Loss program. Schedule a consultation today with us by contacting us online or calling us at (352) 254-5954.
A medical weight loss program is defined by the involvement of medical professionals in your weight loss journey. It is supervised by a trained and experienced physician who will ensure your weight loss plan is safe, effective and focused on your overall health and well-being. A comprehensive medical approach is used to incorporate weight loss strategies that are customized for you – taking into consideration any special needs or health considerations you may have. It also seeks to understand what is at the root of your struggles with weight.
A successful medically supervised weight loss program typically includes:
With a medically supervised weight loss program, you will have one-on-one physician support and access to a toolkit of weight loss options. Most importantly, though, special care should be exercised when attempting to lose weight, especially if you are considerably overweight or obese or have certain health issues. Weight gain causes significant changes in the body, and so does weight loss. Body fat reduction must be accomplished gradually, and it should be carefully monitored by an experienced medical professional.
An evaluation of your health issues is important, and it should always include an attempt to understand what is at the root of your weight gain. Certain medical conditions can cause weight gain, like thyroid disorders. Also, some medication side effects might include weight gain. Teasing out potential causes can provide a more effective direction for a weight loss plan.
Together with you, we will design a plan customized for your needs. It will take into consideration your medical history, current health condition, body type, weight loss goals, weight loss attempts that have not worked for you, and other important factors. It may include a number of different approaches. Health-related aspects are prioritized to ensure safe weight loss that will be successful long term.
Unsafe diets commonly deprive you of the essential nutrients your body needs on daily basis. What you eat and what you don't eat has an enormous impact on your overall health and vitality. A medical weight loss program consists of a professionally designed, customized nutrition plan that will ensure your weight loss is healthy, safe, and effective.
The latest in prescription medication for weight loss, including GLP-1 drugs like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are some of the most effective tools in our toolkit. These medications regulate your insulin and appetite, leading to effective weight loss without weight loss surgery or extreme dieting. Semaglutide (Wegovy) is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonist, while Tirzepatide (Zepbound) is a dual agonist. dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist.
Our detox program seeks to eliminate toxins that may be weakening your metabolism and interfering with weight loss success.
We are able to conduct levels of minerals and vitamins in your body to determine your starting point that will guide supplement recommendations in your plan.
Imbalanced hormones may be one of the root causes of your weight gain, as well as your difficulty losing that weight. Hormone testing and bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) might be gamechangers for you in your effort to lose weight.
Moving your body is essential. For severely overweight or obese individuals, exercise may seem impossible, so we don’t necessarily recommend traditional exercise options. We take your health issues into consideration as well. Your weight may have led to certain health complications. For example, a person requiring knee surgery may not be able to do something as simple as walking, especially if they are carrying excess weight. We look at a myriad of healthy movement options that will be right for you and that will change over time as you lose weight, build muscle, and address problematic health concerns that limit your exercise options.
It's easy to lose focus or get off-track in a long-term weight loss plan, and we understand that you will need all the support you can get. A health coach or personal trainer is nice – and they can supplement a medical weight loss program if you so desire - but they can’t provide the medical expertise, experience, and professional support a medically supervised weight loss program brings to the table. Our medical weight loss program will provide sound, medically supervised advice, coaching, and support.
Weight gain is a medical condition and treating it with a medical evaluation and effective treatment options has benefits you don’t find with other weight loss regimens, including:
Medical Weight Loss is a tremendous tool for achieving overall health and wellness, but it also can be particularly effective in addressing specific medical conditions, including:
