Why is weight loss important?
Your weight contributes to your overall wellness and longevity. Carrying around too much weight for too long can increase your risk for several chronic illnesses, including:
- Stroke (Cerebral Vascualr Accidents)
- Type 2 diabetes
- Osteoarthritis (Joint Pain)
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- Certain types of cancer due to inflammatory conditions.
Losing even a small amount of excessive weight can significantly reduce your risk for obesity-related conditions. Maintaining a healthy body weight also supports optimal physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
HOOT HRT provides medically supervised weight loss services to help adults achieve an ideal body mass index (BMI). The medical team takes into account all factors that influence your body mass and ability to lose weight, so you can reach your goals successfully.
When should I consider medical weight loss?
Weight loss can be difficult, especially as you get older and your body changes how it distributes and stores fat. Even with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, you may struggle to lose excess weight and keep it off in the long term.
Schedule a weight loss consultation at HOOT HRT if you haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise or if you have underlying health issues like thyroid dysfunction or metabolic disease that make weight loss difficult.
The medical team can also offer the resources you need when aiming to lose a large volume of weight to manage or prevent obesity-related diseases.
How can I benefit from medically supervised weight loss?
HOOT HRT offers evidence-based weight loss strategies that help you make long-term changes to your lifestyle to make long-term weight management possible.
Weight loss specialists first identify and treat underlying health issues that interfere with metabolism. They also consider your age, personal preferences, overall health, and other factors that influence your ability to lose weight when creating your treatment plan.
In addition to lifestyle changes, your weight loss plan may include nutrition counseling and daily exercise.
The team may also prescribe weight loss medications like semaglutide or tirazeptide to jumpstart your metabolism, so you can shed excess weight more efficiently.
