Do You Need Medical Weight Loss?

Do you know what weight is healthy for your body? A healthy body doesn’t always equate to a small body or a small circumference.  Maybe you know you need to lose some weight, but how much is healthy to lose for your body’s optimum health?  Understanding what your Body Mass Index (BMI), and how it can help determine a healthy weight range for you can make all the difference.  At Texas Spine and Sports Therapy Center we help you determine healthy weight goals and then help you obtain those weight goals at a pace that is not only safe for your body, but simple and sustainable.

Start with a Weight Loss Screening

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.  The obesity epidemic in America has prompted the United State Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)  to recommend weight loss screenings for all adults for obesity–especially patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher.  Annual screenings are used to compare your current health relative to your weight, and evaluate factors that may be contributing to your inability to lose (or gain) weight.  Weight loss screenings, done by a skilled medical professional, work to help you lose weight and avoid weight-related diseases or conditions.  Some overweight and obesity related medical conditions/diseases include:

• Type 2 Diabetes
• Hypertension
• High Cholesterol
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Sleep Apnea
• Heart Disease
• Cancer

Options for Medical Weight Loss

If you are struggling with eliminating stubborn fat stores that rob you of energy, vitality and put your health at serious risk, you are not alone. Millions struggle with these same issues.   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. Teaming up with our facility in Austin, Texas, offers you an opportunity to discuss your lifestyle and health with a medical doctor. We provide testing for food allergies and nutrient deficiencies that could be sabotaging your weight loss efforts. If you have pre-existing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or chronic pain and fatigue, your plan will be adjusted to work around these issues. Losing the weight safely could even help you get your diabetes or high blood pressure under control with less medication.
