Weight Loss Q &A

How does weight loss improve my health?

Carrying extra weight drains your energy and prevents you from staying active. But being overweight takes a bigger toll on your health than you may realize.

Being overweight or obese significantly increases your risk of developing health conditions, such as:

Osteoarthritis
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
Liver disease
Kidney disease

Losing weight dramatically improves your health by preventing, reversing, or slowing the progression of these conditions.

How does physician-supervised weight loss improve my success?

Losing weight isn’t easy. And it’s not as simple as limiting your diet. While watching calories and getting exercise builds the foundation for losing weight and keeping it off, you won’t find success if other health issues work against your efforts.

Dr. Hundert helps you achieve your weight loss goals by:

Diagnosing and treating physical roadblocks

Many people have hormone imbalances that prevent them from losing weight. Additionally, after you lose weight, some hormone imbalances push your body to regain the weight, creating a need to eat that’s hard to resist.

It’s also common to have nutritional deficiencies that slow down your metabolism. You could have a chronic health condition that should be considered when creating your weight loss plan.

Dr. Hundert begins with a thorough evaluation, identifying and treating any issues that may sabotage your weight loss.

Offering motivation, support, and expert information

Nothing promotes successful weight loss better than having someone like Dr. Hundert to hold you accountable, offer motivation when you hit a plateau, and give you the expert information needed to make decisions supporting your success.

What weight loss services might I receive?

Though certain essential weight loss services exist, Dr. Hundert individualizes your plan to fit your lifestyle and health needs. You may receive services such as:

Nutrition counseling
Meal planning
Exercise recommendations
Dietary supplements
Stress management
Behavioral modification
Prescription weight-loss medications

Behavioral modification focuses on identifying the ingrained habits that cause overeating and recommending ways to break them.

Dr. Hundert chooses from several prescription medications. Some control cravings or reduce your appetite, while others restrict fat absorption or make you feel full after eating a small amount.
