Doing “all the right things” for weight loss can feel pretty discouraging when your progress doesn’t match the effort you’re putting in. A medical weight loss program can help you move beyond another round of dieting and find out which medically guided options may work for your needs.
At Dr. Sharon Aesthetics Wellness & IV Drip Bar in Houston, TX, board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Sharon Smith brings over 15 years of experience in women’s health and specialized training in obesity medicine. She works with you to determine which weight loss options fit your health history and goals.
What Are the Signs You May Benefit From Medical Weight Loss?
Everyone hits the occasional plateau, but certain patterns can signal that it’s worth discussing your weight with a medical professional. You may want to consider medically supervised weight loss when:
- Your progress has stalled: You’ve made consistent changes to your eating and activity habits, but your weight isn’t changing as expected.
- Hunger makes your plan hard to maintain: Frequent hunger or cravings can make sticking with dietary changes difficult.
- You keep losing and regaining weight: Repeated cycles of weight loss and regain can leave you frustrated and unsure what to try next.
- You want medical guidance: Instead of sorting through diets, supplements, and conflicting advice yourself, you’d prefer guidance based on your health history.
- You’re interested in weight loss medication: You want to find out if prescription options such as GLP-1 medications are medically appropriate for you.
- You need accountability: Regular medical visits provide a structured setting to discuss your progress, challenges, and treatment plan.
How Can a Medical Weight Loss Program Help?
Medical weight loss starts with evaluating your individual situation rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all diet plan. At Dr. Sharon Aesthetics, available options include GLP-1 injections and Skinny Shots. GLP-1 medications can help regulate appetite and increase feelings of fullness, which may make it easier for eligible individuals to reduce food intake.
Find Out if Medical Weight Loss Is Right for You
Not everyone needs medication, and not everyone is a candidate for the same treatment. Meeting with Dr. Smith gives you an opportunity to discuss your medical history, previous weight loss efforts, lifestyle, and goals before deciding what makes sense for you.
