Weight Management Q & A
How does excess weight affect my health?
When you gain weight, the stress on your bones, muscles, and joints significantly increases. The cells that store fat actively release hormones and other substances that affect your metabolism, cause body-wide inflammation, and influence the health of systems throughout your body.
As a result, you have a higher risk of developing:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Cardiovascular disease
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Being overweight may also raise your risk of developing breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and colon cancer.
How does physician-supervised weight management help me lose weight?
With physician-supervised weight management, your journey begins with a physical checkup to be sure you don’t have problems that affect your weight loss efforts.
With ongoing support and encouragement from the team at Signature Health and Wellness, you also have a better chance of achieving and maintaining your healthy weight.
What weight loss services will I receive?
The services you receive are customized to meet your needs. Signature Health and Wellness offers:
Lifestyle support
Limiting your daily calories and getting regular exercise are the keys to losing weight. The Signature Health and Wellness team can help you develop an exercise plan or find an exercise program in the community. They can also work with you to create an eating plan that provides the nutrients you need while limiting calories.
Stress management
Many patients find that when they’re under stress, they eat more or it’s harder to stick with their diet and exercise plan. The Signature Health and Wellness team can help with stress management techniques and relaxation tips.
Meal replacements
The team at Signature Health and Wellness can provide or recommend an effective and affordable meal replacement program to support your weight loss.
Lipo-B weight loss injections
A lipo-B injection contains vitamin B12 and other lipotropic components such as choline, methionine, and inositol. Vitamin B12 boosts your energy and helps your body build healthy cells, while lipotropic substances enhance liver function, increase fat elimination, and speed up your metabolism.
Medical management
Prescription medications that can boost your weight loss may also be an option. These medications increase fat metabolism, suppress your appetite, make you feel full, or block fat absorption.
