Weight Loss Q & A
Why should I worry about my weight?
Being overweight or obese can have a significant impact on your health. It’s not just about looking better in clothing or following the latest trends. Losing excess pounds helps you:
- Reduce inflammation
- Decrease blood sugar and triglyceride levels
- Reduce bad cholesterol
- Increase good cholesterol
- Lower blood pressure
- Improve the quality of sleep
- Decrease joint pain
Losing weight can also give you a boost in confidence, self-esteem, and energy. When you achieve a healthier size, you’re at a decreased risk of certain chronic conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
For people with autoimmune disease or chronic pain, losing excess weight can mean fewer flare-ups and a reduction in bothersome symptoms.
What is the best weight-loss plan for me?
Everyone is unique. That’s what makes medical weight loss so valuable. The team at Southern Secrets Med Spa and Clinic can put together a plan that considers your wellness and weight goals and any underlying conditions you may have. Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan like those found at gyms or online, you get a customized weight-loss strategy that takes your preferences and limitations into account.
You may undergo specific testing and interviews to determine the best weight-loss plan for you. These may include:
- Food sensitivity and intolerance testing
- Hormone testing
- Neurotransmitter testing
- Blood tests
Your provider then uses this information to develop your step-by-step nutrition program and exercise plan. If relevant, they’ll also offer complementary therapies, like bioidentical hormone therapy.
What are the benefits of a medically supervised weight-loss program?
In addition to getting a customized plan that’s unique to you, a medically supervised plan offers numerous other benefits to your weight-loss journey.
The providers at Southern Secrets Med Spa and Clinic can monitor any underlying conditions and how they change as your weight reduces. For example, you may require alterations in medication dosage for conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, as a lower weight can help you better manage health markers like glucose levels and blood pressure.
The team also offers accountability. You regularly check-in at the clinic and can discuss any pitfalls or plateaus. You’ll get a strategy to overcome these obstacles so you feel successful and empowered during your weight-loss journey.
You get customized recommendations for supplements that support your weight-loss goals. Instead of just reading labels or promotional materials and guessing which types are suitable for you, you’re given a customized regimen appropriate for your health and weight-loss needs.
Call Southern Secrets Med Spa and Clinic or reach out online if you’re ready to get started with weight loss.
