Medical Weight Loss
At CH Medical the process of managing patients with increased body weight begins with a complete evaluation of the general health and metabolic function of the individual patient in order to find out why exactly their body weight is higher than ideal. In many cases we find medical conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, thyroid abnormalities etc. which we must treat first in order to achieve and then maintain desired body weight. Sometimes we recommend medications (only FDA approved), especially in the initial stage of weight reduction. We consider using medications at this initial stage in order to normalize severe metabolic disturbances related to the increased body weight such as elevated insulin level, inflammation, elevated stress hormones, fluctuating glucose levels causing cravings etc. Some medications that we would prescribe include the following : Wegovy® (Semaglutide), Saxenda® (Liraglutide), Contrave (Naltrexone/Bupropion), others.
We also use dieticians, health coaches and athletic trainers for day to day support and health advise.
Remember, millions of people have achieved and maintained lifelong ideal body weight thus proving that weight reduction is attainable with proper help and perseverance.
