Our experienced medical weight loss team can show you that losing weight doesn’t have to feel like an unobtainable goal. When you partner with a member of our team you gain access to the support you need to achieve your weight loss goals.

What Options Are There for Medical Weight Loss

According to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese.  Millions struggle with ridding their body of stubborn fat stores that limit their energy, vitality and seriously endanger their health.  Stress, inherited traits, or metabolic disorders can make losing weight one of the toughest physical and emotional challenges of individuals’ lives.  Texas Spine & Sports Therapy Center doesn’t want you to feel powerless to create change in yourself and in your health.  By incorporating medically supervised weight loss strategies we can help you lose those unwanted pounds–for good.

Advantages of Medical Weight Loss

The obesity epidemic in America has spurred the creation of hundreds of different diet plans all claiming that they are THE diet for you.  The truth of the matter is, diet success relies on many factors that are determined by your body type, health history, habits, lifestyle and particular needs. Some diet programs out there are pure gimmicks with the sole purpose of making money off your condition.  These programs are not medically supervised or tested.  Some can even put your health at serious risk. Choosing a medically tested and supervised plan provides you with the peace of mind that you are receiving dietary instructions that won’t put your current (or future health) at risk.  A medical doctor on our Texas Spine & Sports Therapy Center  staff will be monitoring your weight loss progress regularly to make sure you aren’t developing nutritional deficiencies or other conditions as you lose weight.  With medical weight loss, there are no starvation diets or exaggerated exercise plans that could delay your goals and harm your body.

Customized Treatment for Losing Weight

The problem with trying to diet on your own is most diet plans and programs don’t take into consideration your specific needs and current conditions. Your genetic make-up, your current health challenges, food allergies, lifestyle, nutrient deficiencies all impact your ability to lose weight.  At our office in the Austin, TX, you discuss all of this with a medical doctor who conducts tests (food intolerance testing ALCAT, nutritional assessment) to obtain real data that can establish an accurate blueprint of your current health.  Pre-existing conditions such as chronic pain and fatigue, heart disease, and diabetes will be taken into consideration when creating a diet plan customized for you.  Safely losing weight will help you get your diabetes or high blood pressure under control without having to rely so heavily on medication.

Skip Surgical Alternatives and Opt for Medical Weight Loss

Surgical weight loss methods can produce successful results for some, but they come with so many risks and side effects that we try everything in our power to keep our patients from going this route. Weeks of bed rest and liquid diets that are associated with lap band and gastric bypass surgery don’t have to be your only options for escaping obesity. Supervised medical weight loss gives you more autonomy with the weight loss process and with your post-weight loss life than surgical methods.

What to Expect with Medical Weight Loss
