What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a personalized, care team-led approach to managing weight with your health and long-term success in mind. It is a program built around your personal health history, lifestyle, and goals. It starts with a full medical evaluation to understand what may be contributing to weight gain, from underlying conditions to everyday habits. From there, it combines expert support—like nutrition coaching, behavior strategies, lifestyle adjustments, and when needed, prescription medications. Together, we get you beyond the goal of weight loss. We guide you to better health, more energy, and long-lasting changes. The goal, essentially –  a better you.

Who Can Benefit from a Medical Weight Loss Program?

A medical weight loss program is designed for individuals who have struggled to achieve significant, lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone, or who have weight-related health conditions that could benefit from professional medical intervention. Eligibility for such programs, including the consideration for prescription medications, is typically determined through a comprehensive initial consultation with a board-certified healthcare provider. Generally, candidates include adults with:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (classified as obesity).
• A BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol.
• Individuals seeking a safe, effective, and sustainable approach to manage their body weight under expert medical supervision.

During your initial consultation, your medical history, current medications, existing health conditions, and specific weight loss goals will be thoroughly reviewed. This comprehensive assessment ensures that the recommended medical weight loss plan is appropriate and safe for your individual health needs.

What Should You Know About Weight Loss Medications?

For many people, prescription weight loss medications can be an added tool within a larger, personalized plan for better health. These medications aren’t a quick fix or magic answer, but when combined with real lifestyle changes like healthier eating and more movement, they can make a meaningful difference.

What works best really depends on the individual. That’s why these medications are always prescribed and monitored by a medical professional who takes the time to understand each patient’s unique health needs, how their body responds, and how they’re feeling along the way. Your medical weight loss plan is as individualized as you are. With professional and trusted guidance, the right medication can be a powerful part of long-term success.

Will Insurance Cover My Medical Weight Loss Program?

Insurance coverage will vary by policy and requirements. Check with your insurance company before starting a medical weight loss program for your coverage details.
