Weight Loss

What is weight loss?

Weight loss refers to the process of reducing the amount of fat in your body. Everyone has some fat, which works as insulation, as well as energy storage. However, too much body fat can present health issues and various challenges in your life. 

If you have concerns about your weight or have attempted weight loss without experiencing results, the team at The Fountain of You, Mind & Body welcomes you to the office for a medical weight loss consultation. They develop a personalized weight loss plan that aligns with your goals and abilities while still meeting your body’s nutritional needs. 

The team supports you as you take part in weight loss and can help you set realistic goals to drive your progress. 

What should I expect from medical weight loss?

Losing weight with help from the team of medical professionals at The Fountain of You, Mind & Body can give you long-lasting results due to their evidence-based approach. They make personalized recommendations for your weight loss program, including:

Diet changes

Reducing the calories in your diet or adding and removing certain foods helps produce weight loss results. The team gives you informed dietary guidance and can help you develop a healthy eating plan. 

Nutritional supplements 

Nutritional supplements ensure you get the nutrients your body needs to function. 

Exercise recommendations

Getting a set amount of exercise each week is crucial for weight loss progress and better overall health and wellness. Exercise burns calories and causes the release of endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals that help relieve stress.
