What is Medical Weight Loss?
Unlike standard diets, medical weight loss puts doctors and healthcare specialists at the center of your weight management journey. When patients walk through our doors at Global Clinic, we look beyond calories and exercise. A blood test might reveal thyroid issues slowing your metabolism. Body composition scanning could show you’re gaining muscle while losing fat, explaining why the scale hasn’t budged.
The medical weight management difference lies in precision. We catch the underlying factors – prescription side effects, stress hormones, or insulin resistance – that sabotage results. For some patients, we prescribe FDA-approved medications unavailable in regular programs. For others, we adjust meal timing based on metabolic testing.
Medical weight loss solutions shine when addressing health complications like high blood pressure or sleep problems alongside weight concerns. By treating these connected issues simultaneously, patients often break through plateaus that stumped them for years. This targeted approach transforms both lab results and daily habits.
What advantages does medical weight loss offer?
Personalized Approach
Medical weight loss programs are tailored to each individual's unique needs, considering factors such as metabolism, medical history, and lifestyle habits. This personalized approach increases the likelihood of success by addressing the specific challenges and preferences of each patient.
Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment
Before recommending any program, we conduct extensive testing to identify potential metabolic obstacles. This includes hormone evaluation, thyroid function testing, body composition analysis, and metabolic rate measurement. These insights form the foundation of your personalized plan, ensuring treatments target your specific physiological patterns.
Effective Results
Medical weight loss programs typically yield more sustainable and long-lasting results compared to quick-fix solutions. By focusing on gradual, sustainable changes to diet, exercise, and behavior, patients can achieve significant weight loss while improving overall health and wellness.
Behavioural Modification Support
Sustainable weight control requires addressing psychological patterns around eating. Our behavioral specialists help identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build new habits that support your goals. Regular accountability sessions keep you motivated and provide opportunities to adjust your approach when challenges arise.
Nutrition and Meal Planning
Our registered dietitians create food plans based on your metabolic testing results, food preferences, and lifestyle requirements. Rather than generic calorie counting, we focus on macronutrient balance, meal timing, and food combinations that work with your body chemistry. This scientific approach leads to better compliance and lasting results.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
Weight loss journeys rarely follow a straight path. Our team provides regular assessments, tracking changes in body composition rather than just weight. This detailed monitoring allows us to quickly identify plateaus and make data-driven adjustments to your medical weight loss program before frustration sets in.
Weight loss treatments
Semaglutide, (wegovy, ozempic)
Wegovy is an injectable weight loss medication that makes you feel fuller from eating less food, leading to safe and sustainable weight loss. On average people lose up to 15% of their starting weight (when taking the maintenance dose of 2.4mg for 68 weeks).
Tirzepatide (mounjaro)
Mounjaro is a weekly self–injectable pen used for weight loss. It contains tirzepatide which works by regulating blood sugar and energy balance levels, helping to reduce appetite and prevent cravings.
Phentermine
Phentermine is a medication used for short-term weight loss. It works by suppressing appetite through stimulating the central nervous system. However, it can have side effects and potential for habit-forming, so it should be used cautiously under medical supervision.
