What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss involves receiving supervision and following a safe and effective weight loss program. This program includes personalized meal and exercise plans, weight loss medications if needed, and other methods to help you achieve your target body weight without feeling hungry.

The team at Red River Family Clinic is highly trained in weight loss and will personalize a plan based on your lifestyle, food preferences, medical history, and goals.

Who Benefits from Medical Weight Loss?

Anyone with a body mass index (BMI) in the overweight or obese category is a candidate for medically supervised weight loss at Red River Family Clinic.

If you have struggled to lose weight on your own and are dealing with issues such as hormone imbalance, hunger, or a chronic disease, the specialists can offer solutions to increase your chances of long-term success. The benefits of medical weight loss include a lower risk of chronic diseases, better disease management, increased energy, supportive care, improved self-confidence, and outstanding outcomes.

Which medical weight loss program is best for me?

Before customizing a medical weight loss plan, the Red River Family Clinic team will weigh you, evaluate your BMI, and check your blood pressure and other vital signs.

They will also discuss your medical history, medications, typical diet and exercise patterns, and may conduct blood testing to screen for nutrient deficiencies, chronic disease risk factors, or hormone irregularities. Your provider will then tailor a program based on your health, initial body weight, and goals.  

What happens during medical weight loss?

Your medical weight loss program may consist of

• Custom meal plans
• Exercise prescriptions
• Dietary supplements
• Lifestyle coaching
• Weight loss medications
• Chronic disease management. Your provider will teach you how to make behavioral changes to reduce food intake, burn more calories, and boost your metabolism without feeling deprived.

It's important to follow your weight loss plan as directed and to reach out to the office at any time with questions throughout your journey.
