Weight
Management Program
Our
weight management program is an integration of body, mind and spirit
that promotes change to achieve a healthy lifestyle. We are helping
our patients develop new habits by emphasizing gradual permanent
changes in exercising, thinking, eating and feeling.
Obesity
is a chronic disease and can seldom, if ever, be cured. The causes
of obesity are complex and not fully understood. They involve genetics,
physiology, metabolism and appetite regulation as well as environmental
psychological and cultural factors.
The
seriousness of obesity and the need for treatment cannot be overstated.
The link to coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis,
sleep apnea, gastrointestinal disorders, depression and cancer is
well known.
Obesity
can be managed in the same manner as other chronic diseases, through
multidisciplinary treatment that provides long term support, education,
monitoring and reinforcement.
As
physicians, we will medically supervise you to safely and effectively
lose weight as you progress through this program. Your plan will
be designed specificly for you with reasonable weight loss goals
based on your degree of obesity and health risks. We are dedicated
to help you achieve optimum health.
Join
us in developing strategies to reshape your eating habits and
control
your disease. Please call us for an appointment.
