Personalized Weight Loss Plans
To get the most out of a weight loss program, the plan needs to be adjusted to specifically match the patient. At Hill Family Medicine, our personalized weight loss plans are based on your medical history, current health status, and lifestyle. These plans often include nutritional education, promotion of exercise and long term healthy lifestyle habits, the use of GLP-1 medications (using generic versions of Ozempic and Mounjaro), and regular monitoring to ensure effective and sustainable weight loss. As doctors who help with weight loss, we are dedicated to providing the best possible care and support.
Initial Assessment
Our medical weight loss journey begins with a thorough initial assessment. This includes upfront lab work, a complete medical history review, an evaluation of your daily habits, and a discussion about your personal relationship with food as well as possible coping behaviors involving food for emotional distress. This assessment allows us to develop a better understanding of your health and tailor a weight loss plan specifically fit for you.
GLP-1 Therapy (Ozempic, Mounjaro)
GLP-1 agonists belong to a group of chemicals called peptides. These peptides act as messenger molecules, are already produced naturally in humans, and signal your brain that you are full (i.e. satiated).. By administering these peptides at a higher dose than what your body normally produces, you are able to achieve an effect of fullness for an extended period of time. Patients will often eat 1 meal per day, or 2 small meals while on these medications. You will lose weight by nature of a calorie reduction. We at Hill Family Medicine will help you reach your goal weight, and most importantly, help you keep it off after you've reached that goal.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Successful weight loss requires continuous support. With monthly check-ins to track your progress, we can adjust your plan as needed and offer the requisite encouragement and guidance. We are dedicated to helping you stay on track and achieve lasting results.
Carrying excess weight is not just a matter of appearance; it has profound implications for your health. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, sleep apnea, and gallstones are all linked to being overweight or obese.
