What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss programs offer a highly personalized and scientifically supported structure for weight loss that takes into account your goals, health concerns, and lifestyle. At Midwest Integrated Medical Center, your doctor takes a multi-step approach to understand your eating habits, why you gain weight, and why it’s difficult for you to lose weight. They then develop a personalized strategy for you to reach your weight-loss goals and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
*Individual results may vary.
How is medical weight loss different from dieting and exercising?
Most popular weight-loss advice includes dieting and exercising, but the medical team at Midwest Integrated Medical Center understands that weight loss is unique to every individual. When you begin a medical weight-loss program, our expert team first completes your medical history, discussing your goals, concerns, and experiences with losing weight in the past.
Next, they perform a series of tests — including blood tests — to determine your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Additional testing may be included if you have hypo- or hyperthyroidism, diabetes, an autoimmune condition, or hormonal imbalance. With this information, your doctor is able to understand what is happening inside your body in regards to hunger, satiety, and fat burning.
What is included in a medical weight loss program?
Based on your initial exam, the team develops a strategy to help you lose weight, including a realistic approach to calorie restriction, lifestyle coaching, exercise and rehabilitation, and additional support — as needed. Your Integrated Team also provides:
- Easy and enjoyable detoxification.
- Food sensitivity identification.
- Individualized coaching to break through difficult weight loss plateaus.
- Techniques to make your ideal nutrition varied and enjoyable.
- Body contouring and laser therapy:
- Non-invasive and pain-free body contouring light laser therapy. Midwest Integrated Medical Center's team uses the Invisa-RED™ laser system to reduce body fat, reduce cellulite, fade stretch marks and tonify tissue. The laser gently heats fat cells underneath your skin until they mely and are removed from the body as waste products.
- Lymphatic stimulation to assist in fat and waste removal.
- Individualized exercise program that is pain-free and enjoyable.
(Testimonial)
The team at Midwest Integrated Medical Center gave me my life back! I saw them for autoimmune thyroid-related problems. In five months, I put my condition in remission and lost 78 lbs. After seven months, I lost a total 100 lbs. and have the energy I did 20 years ago. Midwest Integrated Medical Center is a great team and their support and encouragement is much appreciated. The team has become more than health providers—I consider them friends after this journey. It’s comforting to know that advice or just a friendly face is always there when I need it. They taught me a new lifestyle and I look forward to years of great health because of it!
