Obesity Management

What is obesity management?

Obesity management is a comprehensive weight loss approach specifically designed to help individuals with obesity, a medical condition in which excessive body fat can lead to serious health complications. 

Obesity is more than being overweight or trying to lose a few pounds. It’s typically the result of complex factors such as genetics, metabolism, and hormonal imbalances that make losing weight and keeping it off extra challenging. 

By addressing these underlying factors, Austin at Balance Boost Wellness Clinic can create a personalized, medically supervised plan that promotes sustainable weight loss and reduces your risk of obesity-related health issues.

How do I know if I need obesity management?

You may benefit from obesity management if you’ve been struggling to lose weight despite efforts to follow traditional diet and exercise plans or if you are experiencing health issues related to excess weight. 

Some signs that obesity management could be right for you include:

• A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
• Difficulty losing weight and keeping it off
• Experiencing obesity-related health conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or joint pain
• A history of weight-related health problems or chronic conditions that are harder to manage due to excess weight
• Feeling limited in your ability to engage in physical activity or maintain an active lifestyle
• A family history of obesity or metabolic conditions

If any of these apply to you, working with a healthcare provider like Austin at Balance Boost Wellness Clinic can help identify the right steps to manage your weight and improve your health.

What does obesity management involve?

Austin adjusts your obesity management plan to meet your needs. Depending on your weight, risk factors, lifestyle, and medical history, your personalized plan may include:

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications

These medications control appetite and regulate blood sugar, making managing cravings easier and supporting sustainable weight loss.

Continuous glucose monitoring

With real-time blood sugar monitoring, you can better understand how your body responds to different foods and refine your weight loss strategy.

Nutritional supplementation

Specific supplements can help fill nutrient gaps, supporting your metabolism and overall health as you lose weight.
