How can professional weight management improve my health and wellness?

While researchers are still exploring the causes and biochemical underpinnings of weight gain, the science is clear on the detrimental health effects that come with being overweight or obese. 

Carrying substantial extra weight can negatively affect virtually every organ and system within your body. Some of the health issues with a direct link to being overweight or obese include:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Gallbladder disease
• Depression
• Dementia
• Osteoarthritis
• Fertility and pregnancy complications
• Arthritis
• Sexual dysfunction

Losing even a moderate amount of weight can dramatically reduce your risk of these serious health issues, or help you manage any chronic health conditions already present. 

How does professional weight management work?

Weight management is highly personalized, and Julissa works closely with you to find the best possible approach. For some people, medication is a key component of weight loss treatment. This can be especially true for those who have a lot of weight to lose, or who have struggled with weight loss in the past. However, medication is never a stand-alone treatment option. 

Julissa works with you to find ways to incorporate more healthy habits into your lifestyle. This includes avoiding highly processed foods and adding more fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your diet. 

Getting enough exercise is also essential. You don’t have to join a gym or jump into an extreme exercise program to see results. Even something as simple as a daily walk can make a big difference. 

How long will I need weight management services?

Everyone’s weight loss journey is unique. Some people only need a few months of professional weight loss support to get back on track. Others work with Julissa for a year or longer to ensure their new habits take hold. 

You can also meet with Julissa more frequently during the early stages of your weight loss program, eventually tapering off to periodic check-ins to help you stay on track. When you’re ready to get started, booking a visit is as easy as making a phone call or spending a few moments on the online scheduling page.
