At a medical weight loss clinic, a medical professional will take the time to review your medical history, discuss previous weight loss and weight management attempts and programs and craft a new approach with you. This will allow you to understand much more about your body and expectations. You will be able to learn about things about your body chemistry, setting realistic weight loss goals, sustainable diet/nutrition and exercise routines that work for you.

The time spent discussing these things will help you to feel supported and empowered in your journey to take control of your body. This involves understanding blood work, cardiac and stroke risks of obesity and high cholesterol, what constitutes good nutrition, choosing diet and exercise regimens that are sustainable for you, losing fat, keeping fat and preserving lean muscle.
