Our adult weight loss program involves a combination of FDA approved prescription medications and natural supplements combined with diet and exercise. The main effects of the medications are to decrease overall appetite and cravings while increasing an individual’s metabolism and energy level. Individuals will not only feel less hungry, but will also feel full quicker from their meals and hence eat smaller portions. There are no frozen or boxed foods, we believe our patients should be eating real food, just making smarter choices and eating smaller portions. Consumption of regular food makes the transition from weight loss to maintenance much easier, as individuals will be eating the same types of food during the program. You will see the doctor on the first office visit as part of your initial evaluation, as well as, throughout your weight loss journey. This is an important element of losing weight because each person's program is designed specifically for their individual needs. We do not use a generic formula, sometimes the medications, diet or exercise program must be changed in order to keep achieving optimum results. There is no “one size fits all” model that works for everyone and this makes the continual doctor evaluation so  important to help people reach their goal weight no matter what obstacle presents itself.
