A medical approach to weight

Obesity is influenced by biology, hormones, medications, sleep, activity, genetics, environment, and metabolic health. Care starts with understanding the medical context rather than blaming willpower.

Evaluation and testing

  • Weight history, BMI, waist-related risk, medications, sleep, and family history
  • Laboratory testing for glucose, A1C, cholesterol, thyroid, liver, kidney, and other factors when appropriate
  • Screening for insulin resistance, prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver risk

Treatment options

  • Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and behavioral strategies
  • Prescription weight-management medications when clinical criteria are met
  • GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 medication classes when appropriate and safe
  • Monitoring for medication safety, side effects, and weight regain
  • Bariatric surgery referral when appropriate for risk level and patient goals

When to see an obesity medicine specialist

Specialty care may help when weight is affecting blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, liver health, PCOS, sleep apnea risk, mobility, or when prior weight-loss attempts have led to regain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is obesity medicine?
Obesity medicine is physician-directed care for obesity as a chronic medical condition, including evaluation of metabolic risk, lifestyle factors, medications, and long-term monitoring.
When should I see an obesity medicine specialist?
Consider specialty care if weight is affecting diabetes risk, blood pressure, cholesterol, fatty liver risk, PCOS, sleep apnea risk, mobility, or quality of life.
Do I qualify for prescription weight-management medication?
Eligibility depends on BMI, weight-related medical conditions, medication history, contraindications, and insurance rules.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications are prescription medicines that affect appetite, fullness, and glucose regulation. They are used only when clinically appropriate and require monitoring.
How is medical weight management different from a diet program?
Medical weight management evaluates the health conditions, hormones, medications, and risks connected to weight rather than offering a one-size-fits-all diet.
What happens after weight-loss medication is stopped?
Some patients regain weight after stopping medication. Long-term follow-up, nutrition, activity, and risk monitoring remain important.
Does insurance cover obesity treatment?
Coverage varies by plan, medication, diagnosis, and documentation. The office can help patients understand benefit requirements.
