Medical weight loss programs are customized to meet your specific needs. This personalized approach ensures that the strategies employed are effective and sustainable for you.
Being under the care of healthcare professionals ensures that your weight loss journey is safe and effective. Regular monitoring helps in making necessary adjustments to your plan as you progress.
Beyond weight loss, these programs often result in overall improved health, including better management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
Medical weight loss programs focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. This focus increases the likelihood of maintaining weight loss over the long term.
At Gaya Wellness, we understand that weight loss is as much about mental health as it is about physical health. Our programs include emotional and psychological support to help you navigate the challenges of weight loss.
Medical weight loss is suitable for anyone who is struggling to lose weight through conventional methods and is looking for a structured, medically supervised program. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
Medical weight loss is most commonly used to treat obesity, helping individuals reach a healthier weight and reduce the risk of associated health conditions.
Weight loss can significantly improve blood sugar levels, making it easier to manage or even reverse Type 2 diabetes.
Reducing weight can lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and decrease the risk of heart disease.
Losing weight can alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea, improving sleep quality and overall health.
Excess weight puts additional stress on joints, leading to pain and discomfort. Weight loss can reduce this strain and improve mobility.
Start by incorporating more whole foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Reducing your intake of processed foods and sugary drinks can also make a significant difference.
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. This can include activities like walking, swimming, or cycling.
Practice mindful eating by paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. Avoid distractions like TV or smartphones while eating.
Ensure you are drinking enough water throughout the day. Sometimes, thirst is mistaken for hunger, leading to unnecessary calorie intake.
Prioritize getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Poor sleep can affect hunger hormones and lead to weight gain.
During the initial consultation at Gaya Wellness, we will conduct a comprehensive health assessment. This includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle habits.
We may recommend diagnostic tests such as blood work, metabolic rate testing, and body composition analysis to gather more information about your health status.
Based on the assessment and test results, we will create a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include dietary changes, exercise recommendations, behavioral therapy, and possibly medication.
We will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, make necessary adjustments to your plan, and provide ongoing support.
Our approach at Gaya Wellness includes emotional and psychological support to help you overcome any mental barriers to weight loss. We also incorporate mindfulness practices and stress management techniques to ensure a well-rounded approach to health.
