patients Medical’s Weight Loss Program
A. Our Extensive Staff of Medical Professionals
Since there is no magic pill for health and well-being, the road to total wellness requires a diverse, collaborative team of integrative health care professionals with a full spectrum of skills who are dedicated to addressing the needs of your whole being- mind, body, and spirit. From physicians and medical staff trained at the country’s most prestigious medical centers and institutions, to our full spectrum of licensed and certified health care practitioners, our multidisciplinary team of specialists is at the forefront of integrative medicine and holistic health care. Our nutritionist will collaborate closely with our physicians to ensure any medical obstacles to your weight loss success are addressed in developing your program.
B. Our State-of-the-Art Testing
What makes our program unique is that our facility is equipped to provide detailed blood and urine testing. Testing can include a complete hormonal panel, metabolic profile, and glucose tolerance to identify root causes and help focus the plan of action to get you results that have been so difficult in the past.
Most weight loss programs do not offer such testing as they are not administered by a medical practice or managed by nutrition professional. As a result participants are unsuccessful in achieving their goals because of underlying health issues. If you have been on diets, Weight Watchers and other programs but they have not worked for you, please do not give up hope.
The good news is that once the testing is done and our physicians have addressed the underlying health issues, our nutritionist will work with you to develop your customized weight loss program which will encompass not only what food to eat to achieve a healthy weight, but what behaviors and thought processes will make your results lifelong. You owe yourself the gift of health and vitality!
C. Our Program Addresses Lifestyle Changes
In accordance with our philosophy of treating your total body and mind, we view weight loss as a key tool is ensuring that you live a vibrant, active life sustained by good health, high energy, mental clarity, full function, and absence of disease well into old age. If that is what you want, our Health care team can help you.

Wegovy or the diet-based program
The effectiveness of weight loss programs depends on several factors, including your starting weight, diet, physical activity, and metabolism. While Wegovy (a prescription weight-loss medication) may lead to rapid weight loss in the short term, it is typically recommended as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program that includes a healthy diet and exercise. A diet-based program that emphasizes healthy eating habits, portion control, and physical activity can also lead to sustainable weight loss over the long term.
It is important to consult a doctor or a registered dietitian to determine the best weight-loss program for you based on your individual needs and health status. They may also be able to advise you on the safety and effectiveness of using weight-loss medications like Wegovy.
For many patients, we offer a combination of both programs. Start with the injectables for Rapid Weight Loss. Then in parallel, a nutritional support program to help keep the weight off when you stop the medication.
