There are several reasons why medical weight loss programs are a highly effective and safe way to lose weight! Unlike generic weight loss programs, medical weight loss programs are closely directed by a physician who can tailor the weight loss program to address your specific needs. As such, the success of medical weight loss programs stems from the singular focus they place on the individual and the medical expertise brought to bear on the program.

When you choose to lose weight through a medical weight loss program, your plan will be personalized to help you reach your particular goals, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Moreover, when a doctor supervises that weight loss program, they can take into account the key contributing factors to your specific weight gain and what treatments and medications your body will respond to best, given your metabolism and overall health.

In addition to medical expertise, medical weight loss programs also provide you with incredible support and encouragement throughout the journey with wellness coaches and support staff.

At InShape Medical, our physicians, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and wellness coaches would be happy to meet you and develop a medical weight loss program tailored to your specific needs.

If you seek medical help for weight loss, there are several different doctors and medical professionals who can provide excellent treatment. Some of these include bariatric physicians or surgeons, endocrinologists, nutritionists, dieticians, or general practitioners.

Weight loss plans and programs vary according to the precise expertise of the weight loss clinic staff and the resources and equipment available to the clinic. At InShape Medical, we offer the following weight loss programs:

• The Countdown – Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) medical weight loss plan
• The Slim-Down – Quick Weight Loss

While there are numerous commercial weight loss programs that you may or may not have heard of, including Weight Watchers® (now known as WW®), Jenny Craig®, and others, the main difference between these and medical weight loss programs is that the latter are closely guided by a medical doctor and are focused on the individual, while the former are generalized programs aimed at helping broad swaths of people. In this way, medical weight loss programs are a more flexible, personalized, and supportive way to lose weight.

While there are numerous ways to lose weight safely, effectively, and quickly through medical treatment, it is best to consult with a medical doctor first about which treatments or programs will be safest and most effective for you. At InShape Medical, we happily offer free initial wellness consultations to new patients, and we would be happy to schedule one with you to help you decide which medical weight loss program will help you lose weight safely, effectively, and quickly!
