Weight Loss Q&A

How does medical weight loss work?

Medical weight loss is a scientifically based method for losing weight. You work with medical professionals to establish a plan that accounts for your health, needs, and goals. 

After evaluating your health, the team at Enlift Health Medical Clinic creates comprehensive guidelines to help you lose weight. This involves lifestyle changes you should adopt permanently for lifelong wellness. Your program includes:

  • Nutrition counseling
  • Exercise recommendations
  • Treatment for weight-related medical conditions
  • Access to medical knowledge
  • Accountability
  • Medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
  • Regular visits and follow-up care

The team explains the importance of every aspect of your medical weight loss program to help motivate you to follow the guidelines closely. 

How might medical weight loss improve my health and wellness?

Medical weight loss can reduce your overall health risks and may also improve conditions you already have related to your weight challenges. Specific conditions that might improve or be prevented through medical weight loss include:

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol 
  • Prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Osteoarthritis and joint pain
  • Particular cancers

You might notice some other, more subjective wellness benefits from weight loss. Some people report experiencing more energy or improvements in their self-esteem, and sexual health. You might also experience better sleep because losing weight can help alleviate symptoms like joint pain and nighttime breathing problems. 

The team at Enlift Health Medical Clinic starts your medical weight loss program with a detailed evaluation. During this initial visit, they evaluate your body composition and ask about your specific weight loss goals. They also consider your medical history and any weight-related medical conditions.  

The team will be able to provide a general idea of how long your weight loss will take based on your overall health, your goals, and your adherence to your program.
