Medical Weight Loss

How does losing weight improve your health?

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is about more than just looking good. Losing weight can improve your overall health in several ways. It can help by:

• Increasing your energy 
• Improving your mood
• Lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure
• Decreasing your risk of heart disease
• Decreasing back and joint pain
• Improving sleep quality
• Easing or ending breathing difficulties, such as asthma

While medical weight loss can help you feel more healthy and confident, it can also reduce your risk of developing certain serious diseases in the future.

How do you determine if you’re overweight or obese?

A common way to determine whether you’re overweight is through evaluating your body mass index (BMI). Your BMI uses your height and weight to estimate the amount of fat in your body. To assess your BMI, divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. 

Once you find your BMI, you can see where it falls on this scale:

• 18.5-24.9: Normal weight
• 25-29.9: Overweight
• Over 30: Obese
• Over 40: Extremely obese

The WithCare Clinic team can help you lose weight and lower your BMI if needed.

What is medical weight loss?

Many people attempt to lose weight on their own only to be frustrated by the lack of results. A medical weight loss program can help you overcome the challenges of losing weight by bringing in a team of trained medical professionals to create a plan and guide you along your weight loss journey. 

To begin, the team at WithCare Clinic evaluates your health and asks you about your specific goals. Afterward, you work with the team to help create an individualized dietary plan based on your unique needs and circumstances. They also work with you to create an individualized exercise plan that helps you along the way.

Consistency is the key to success in any health plan, which is why the WithCare Clinic team monitors your progress every step of the way, helping you stay focused so you can achieve your goals. 

Why use a medical weight loss program?

More than 1 in 3 adults are overweight or obese, and many struggle to lose weight independently. If you’ve ever started a diet or weight loss program but have been frustrated at the lack of progress, you’re not alone. 

The WithCare Clinic team gives you an advantage by providing expert dietary and exercise guidance to help you succeed while delivering compassionate and encouraging support and feedback throughout your journey. 

Medical Weight Loss treatment options including Semaglutide are available at WithCare Clinic

Semaglutide: What you need to know

How it works:
Semaglutide mimics a blood sugar-regulating hormone, stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, and curbing appetite by slowing gastric emptying. Our unique formulation contains vitamin B6 which helps to relieve common GI side effects.

Administration:
Semaglutide is administered once a week as a shot under the skin of your stomach, thighs or upper arm.

Side effects:
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These side effects are usually short-lived and tend to improve over time.

Dosing:
The dosing and administration for weight management vary depending on individual patient factors. It is essential to follow your medical provider's instructions and attend weekly check-ups while on this medication.

Cost:

$349/per 4-week set/monthly or $129 if week by week
Following your initial consultation, you can anticipate a weekly injection. This fee covers a brief follow-up appointment to thoroughly track your progress and monitor for any potential side effects. Blood work is required periodically.
