Losing weight is often challenging, especially when diet and exercise don’t deliver the desired results. For many, a medical weight loss management plan provides the structure, support, and expert guidance needed for lasting success. Wondering if this approach could be right for you?
At Refine Medical in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Heather Kennedy, PAC, and her dedicated team are here to help you find answers. Let’s explore what makes someone a candidate for medical weight loss and how the process works.
A medical weight loss plan is a personalized program created to help you lose weight safely and effectively under our expert supervision. Unlike one-size-fits-all diet plans, it’s tailored to your unique needs, health conditions, and lifestyle.
Medical weight loss plans often include prescription medications, nutrition education, exercise guidance, and behavioral therapy to promote sustainable weight loss. What sets medical weight loss apart is the professional support you receive. Our team closely monitors your progress and addresses any underlying medical issues affecting your weight loss journey.
Medical weight loss programs are designed for individuals who need extra support to achieve their weight loss goals. To determine if you might be a candidate, ask yourself these questions:
You may benefit from a medically supervised weight loss plan if you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions.
During your initial consultation, we review your medical history, discuss your weight loss goals, and assess your current health status. We then create a customized weight loss plan based on this information.
Nutritional counseling is a key component of most medical weight loss programs. We work closely with you to design a healthy eating plan for your lifestyle and preferences. We teach you to make healthier food choices and control portion sizes, helping you develop habits for long-term weight loss.
While diet plays a significant role in weight loss, exercise is also vital. We’ll create an exercise program that suits your fitness level and goals.
Weight loss medications can help control your appetite, boost your metabolism, or address underlying health conditions that make weight loss more difficult. Ongoing support is critical to the success of a medical weight loss plan because it allows us to monitor your progress, celebrate your accomplishments, and adjust the plan as necessary to keep you on track.
Along with helping you reach and maintain your ideal weight, losing weight with medical supervision can improve conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Another advantage of medical weight loss is the focus on long-term results. Medical weight loss isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about teaching you how to permanently change your diet, exercise routine, and lifestyle with habits that support long-term health and weight maintenance.
If you’ve struggled to lose weight independently, a medical weight loss plan may be your solution. Our programs offer expert guidance, personalized strategies, and long-term results.
