At The WellSpa, medical weight loss is more than just another diet—it’s a comprehensive, personalized journey to better health. Unlike traditional weight loss programs that simply focus on calorie restriction or trend-based eating plans, our medical weight loss approach is fully supervised by our team of experienced healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dietitians.
When you choose The WellSpa, you benefit from a customized plan that’s tailored to your unique medical history, current health status, metabolism, and lifestyle. Our expert team conducts thorough assessments and ongoing monitoring—often including lab work and physical exams—to ensure your weight loss program is safe, effective, and responsive to your individual needs. This allows us to identify and address any underlying issues, such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic concerns, that may be affecting your ability to lose weight.
Our medical weight loss programs may also include prescription medications, advanced nutritional counseling, and, when appropriate, medically approved meal replacements or supplements—tools that are not typically found in standard diet programs. Our commitment to your health means we provide continuous support and education, helping you build healthy habits and sustainable lifestyle changes.
At The WellSpa, our medical weight loss program is designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight, guided by our team of experienced healthcare professionals. We recognize that every individual’s journey is unique, and our evidence-based approach ensures your care is tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
• Personalized Nutrition Plans: At The WellSpa, your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment by our physicians and registered dietitians. We create personalized nutrition plans that focus on reducing caloric intake while ensuring you receive optimal nutrition. Whether it’s a balanced low-calorie diet or a more intensive very-low-calorie regimen, our recommendations are customized to your health status and lifestyle.
• Supportive Physical Activity Guidance: Physical activity is a cornerstone of our program. We help you incorporate exercise routines that fit your current fitness level and medical considerations. From gentle aerobic activity to strength training and flexibility exercises, our team supports you every step of the way, adjusting your plan as you progress.
• Behavioral Coaching and Support: We understand the importance of mindset in weight management. Our behavioral therapy options include one-on-one counseling and group sessions, using cognitive-behavioral strategies to help you build healthier habits, overcome obstacles, and set achievable goals. We’re here to provide the motivation and accountability you need.
• Advanced Medical Options: If lifestyle changes alone are not enough, our medical team can discuss prescription weight loss medications that are safe and effective for qualifying individuals. We closely monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan to maximize results while minimizing risks.
• Surgical Consultation and Support: For those with severe obesity or related health concerns, we offer thorough evaluations and, when appropriate, referrals for bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. We provide pre- and post-surgical support to ensure your success and well-being throughout the process.
• Continuous Medical Monitoring: Your safety and long-term success are our priorities. We emphasize regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and celebrate your achievements. Our team is dedicated to providing ongoing support and motivation, ensuring your weight loss journey is both safe and sustainable.
At The WellSpa, our medical weight loss program is designed to support your journey toward better health with a personalized, comprehensive approach. For some patients, this may include the use of FDA-approved weight loss medications, which are prescribed by our experienced healthcare professionals when lifestyle changes like diet and exercise alone have not achieved the desired results. This is especially important for individuals dealing with obesity or weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
The medications we prescribe work in a variety of ways—some help reduce appetite, others increase feelings of fullness, and some decrease the absorption of fat. However, medication is always used as part of a broader, ongoing plan that includes healthy eating, physical activity, and behavioral support. Our team works closely with you to determine if medication is right for your unique needs, taking into account your overall health, medical history, and personal weight loss goals. Throughout your journey, you’ll receive regular monitoring and support from The WellSpa’s medical team to track your progress, ensure your safety, and manage any potential side effects.
At The WellSpa, our medical weight loss programs are thoughtfully designed to provide you with the personalized tools, expert guidance, and ongoing support you need to lose weight effectively—and maintain your results for the long term. Unlike quick fixes or fad diets, our approach focuses on lasting lifestyle changes that fit your unique needs and goals.
When you join a medical weight loss program, you’ll work closely with our dedicated healthcare professionals.
