Adult Weight Loss

Our adult weight loss program is designed for people who have had a hard time reducing their weight. We focus on long-term success, which requires dietary and lifestyle changes for weight loss, with potential medical intervention. Based on a detailed assessment, including medical tests, we come up with a holistic plan in consultation with the patient.

Nearly 40% of the American adult population is overweight. Obesity has been associated with several health risks including diabetes and heart disease. Some disorders increase the difficulty in losing weight and might require medical remedies in addition to diet and exercise.

Unintentional Weight Gain

Unintentional weight gain happens when a person's weight increases without any increase in their food or liquid intake, or any decrease in activities. This syndrome often occurs for various reasons, such as fluid retention, constipation, abnormal growth, or pregnancy. Women often go through unintentional weight gain during their menstrual cycle. In some cases, side effects of specific medications can also lead to a rapid forced increase in weight. Mostly, unintentional weight gain is harmless. However, extreme symptoms during accidental weight gain, like high levels of pain, discomfort, or bloating of body parts, may call for a medical emergency.
