With medical weight loss, medical professionals supervise your diet to help you reach a healthy weight.

New Wave Physicians Group is a primary care practice that offers comprehensive health care, so the providers can easily integrate a medical weight loss program into your overall wellness goals and health needs.

If you can't lose weight, if you're struggling to maintain a healthy weight, or if you lose weight only to gain it back within a year or two, medical weight loss at New Wave Physicians Group can help.

You may also need medical weight loss if your annual wellness exam screening reveals problems or potential issues. For example, extra weight is one of the biggest risk factors for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and high cholesterol.

By losing 5-10% of your extra weight, you can improve your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. After losing weight, you may even be able to reduce or discontinue blood pressure medication, under medical guidance.

By starting a medical weight loss program, you can prevent chronic disease now and in the future.

Medical weight loss at New Wave Physicians Group emphasizes success through lifestyle changes. That generally involves:

• Nutrition planning
• Weight loss goal-setting
• Regular exercise
• Supplements to support nutrition and weight loss
• Tracking food intake
• Regular progress check-ins at the office
• EScreening tests to check cholesterol and other important metrics

Some people also qualify for weight loss medication. It can suppress your appetite or work in other ways to help you lose extra weight. If you take weight loss medication, New Wave Physicians Group monitors you closely to make sure it's safe and effective for you.

One of the major benefits of medical weight loss through your primary care practice is that you receive continued long-term support at New Wave Physicians Group.

If you need some additional help to maintain your weight or get back on track, you can get that support from the same providers that already know your needs and health situation.
