What is Medical weight loss?

While body fat has benefits like protecting your organs and storing nutrients for energy, having too much of it can be detrimental to your health and wellness.

If you’re overweight or obese, healthy weight loss via long-term dieting and habit changes can reduce your risk for multiple medical conditions, including:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Heart attack
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• High cholesterol
• Arthritis and joint pain
• Erectile dysfunction
• Several types of cancer

Many people first attempt weight loss by reducing their eating, trying various diet pills or programs, or going to the gym. A personalized medical weight loss program at Isom MD significantly increases your chances of reaching and maintaining your goal weight. 

Why is it hard to lose weight on my own?
