Weight Loss Treatment with Bellaire Primary Care 

Move beyond quick fixes that might lead to temporary weight loss. Instead, discover a plan that enhances your overall health for the long term, ensuring sustainable weight management and continued wellness. Collaborating with a Primary Care Provider (PCP) is one of the most effective strategies for managing weight. This is because a Primary Care Provider can assess your complete health profile and provide comprehensive care for your entire well-being.

1.  Appointment

During your first consultation, your provider will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical background, assess your current medications for potential weight gain effects, and request laboratory tests. This thorough approach aims to identify or exclude any underlying health issues that might be hindering your weight management efforts.

2. Plan

In your follow-up visit, your provider will collaborate with you to develop a personalized weight management strategy. This plan may include FDA-approved medications. The treatment options will be tailored to your specific needs and health profile.

3. Treatment

Once you begin your treatment plan, you will have regular in person or video check-ins with your provider to monitor your progress toward your weight loss goals and ensure that your overall health is improving. Contact a provider today to get started!

GLP-1 medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar. For that reason, these medications have been used in patients with diabetes. But GLP-1 in higher amounts also signal parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and make you to feel full. When used in combination with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss and a reduced risk of diabetes and heart disease in people who are obese or overweight.
