In general, a Medical Weight Loss doctor can help you lose weight in a safe, medically supervised setting. There are so many weight loss products out there today, or plans advertised by people who are not healthcare practitioners, that it has become normalized for people to try and undergo weight loss plans on their own. The fact is, this usually results in short-term results that are not sustainable, if they work at all, and in the worst case, they can actually be harmful and damaging to your health. With medical weight loss, you are working with a practitioner that knows you and your health history, can tailor a plan that works best for you, and supervise it to ensure you are doing it safely, at the right pace, and in a way that is most beneficial for you. At Optimal Balance Center, we have health professionals on our team that can design and oversee a medical weight loss program for you.
