Medical Weight Loss Q&A

How does my weight affect my health?

Weight loss is often associated with aesthetic changes, and many people want to lose weight to reach a physical ideal or improve their self-esteem. Weight loss is also associated with higher energy levels and improved mental health.

Being overweight or obese also has a dramatic effect on your overall health. When you’re carrying extra fat, you increase your risk of developing:

Hypertension (high blood pressure)
High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
Heart disease
Sleep apnea
Type 2 diabetes
Liver disease
Kidney disease

Losing weight dramatically improves specific health markers — blood pressure and blood sugar levels, among others — reducing your risk of disease.

Losing weight relieves stress on your joints, allowing you to be more mobile and reduce the risk or symptoms of osteoarthritis.

What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss is a comprehensive and medically supervised approach to helping people lose excess pounds.

As a family practice specialist, Yoodiy and her healthcare team provide personalized weight-loss plans tailored to your needs, medical history, and lifestyle.

The medically supported weight loss plans help you overcome some controllable and seemingly uncontrollable obstacles that often sabotage weight loss efforts.

Your program begins with a physical exam, a review of your weight-loss history, and an evaluation of your lifestyle and eating habits.

What is involved in medical weight loss?

Your provider personalizes your weight-loss program according to your goals and health needs. She strives to promote safe and sustainable weight reduction while addressing underlying health problems that could be contributing to weight gain.

If you have nutritional deficiencies or hormone imbalances that stand in the way of successfully losing weight, your provider can identify them and provide medical and lifestyle treatments to help you overcome them.

Other parts of your weight loss plan can include:

Dietary counseling
Exercise recommendations
Behavioral changes
Prescription medication

Your provider doesn’t rely on the controversial diabetes drug Ozempic® to help you lose weight.

Regular monitoring and follow-ups are typical components of her medical weight loss programs. With careful oversight, she tracks your progress and makes necessary adjustments for the best outcome.
