Weight Management

What is included in Weight Management?

Weight loss management is a complex process that often requires a multi-faceted approach, involving lifestyle modifications, behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, and sometimes surgical interventions. Healthcare providers play a crucial role in guiding patients through these options, tailoring plans to individual needs and health conditions.

Setting Realistic Goals: Collaborating with patients to establish achievable weight loss goals and sustainable lifestyle changes.

Monitoring Progress and Adjusting Plans: Regularly assessing weight, health markers, and adherence to the plan, making necessary adjustments.

Addressing Comorbidities: Managing weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Providing Ongoing Support and Motivation: Encouraging patients, addressing challenges, and celebrating successes to foster long-term adherence.

Referring to Specialists: Knowing when to refer patients to dietitians, exercise physiologists, behavioral therapists, or endocrinologists.
