When Should You Consider Medical Weight Loss?

At Absolute Healthcare, we know how hard it is to lose weight on your own. Many of our patients come to us tired, frustrated, and defeated after trying countless diets and fitness routines that didn’t deliver the results they wanted. 

The truth is, sometimes the traditional “diet and exercise” advice isn’t enough. That’s where medical weight loss comes in.

Our medical weight loss program is customized and supervised, so it addresses your specific health needs. But how do you know if it’s time to consider this option? 

In this month’s blog, we’ve outlined several key signs that might indicate you’re ready to explore medical weight loss with our expert team.

Signs it’s time to consider medical weight loss

Everyone who participates in our medical weight loss program has a unique story. Yours might include any of these common experiences:

1. You have underlying health conditions linked to weight

If you’re at risk for or currently dealing with health problems related to your weight, you’re a great candidate for medical weight loss. 

Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obstructive sleep apnea often go hand in hand with weight problems. Beyond these issues, fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, or cardiovascular disease also require weight loss for improvement.

The beauty of a medically supervised program like ours at Absolute Healthcare is that it doesn’t just focus on weight loss but prioritizes improving your overall health. We provide resources and a plan that can reduce your risk of serious complications while helping you achieve a healthier lifestyle.

2. Diets and exercise programs haven’t worked

You’ve tried everything, including keto, juice cleanses, daily jogs, and HIIT workouts. Unfortunately, the scale won’t budge, or the weight returns as quickly as you lose it. 

Sound familiar? This cyclical frustration can leave you feeling stuck.

At Absolute Healthcare, we provide evidence-based solutions tailored to your unique needs, creating a plan that goes far beyond trend diets.

3. You’re experiencing emotional effects from your weight

Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are common struggles for many of our patients. At Absolute Healthcare, we walk alongside you during your weight-loss journey, celebrate every milestone with you, and offer encouragement when the going gets tough. You’re never in it alone.

4. Your weight makes daily tasks more difficult

If simple daily activities like walking up stairs, bending over, or running errands leave you feeling exhausted, it’s time to consider a new approach to weight management. 

Medical weight loss not only improves your physical capabilities but often rekindles a sense of vitality and energy you may not have felt in years.

5. You need accountability to reach your goals

For many folks, weight loss isn’t just a physical battle but also a mental one. Consistent support and accountability make all the difference. A medical weight loss program provides continuous monitoring to help you stick to your goals. 

At Absolute Healthcare, our providers work with you by offering customized plans and regular check-ins.
