Weight-Loss Medicine
Whatever your goals, we’re here to help!
Packed on a few pounds during the holiday season that you want to shed?
Or maybe you’ve had on and off issues with weight loss and gain that you would like some assistance in dealing with.
Obesity and Weight Loss Medicine is a growing field with a diversifying number of treatment options.
I’ve tried diets, exercising, and so many other supplements without success. How is this going to be any different?
Weight loss and obesity are complicated topics. Reducing things to “caloric deficit” and treating these as issues of self-control and morality is extremely dismissive, completely ignoring the very real physiological reasons behind why your body just can’t seem to shed weight.
As the field has advanced, we’ve gained a better understanding of the different sources from which difficulties from weight loss stem, ranging from neurologic/psychiatric reasons to endocrinological reasons.
One-size-fits-all (no pun intended) regimens fall short because they do not take into account your particular physiology, and therefore do not first seek to address the primary source of the problem. A holistic approach that takes into account your goals, your particular health issues, and your lifestyle, is the best way to achieve noticeable and sustained weight loss goals.
Okay, let’s say I want to give this a try. Where do we start?
Because we view obesity and weight loss as just one aspect to the totality of your health, it is HIGHLY recommended (though not required) that you be a primary care patient with Spectra before initiating weight loss treatment with us. This allows us to understand where this fits in the greater picture of your care, and helps us better tailor treatment for you. Regardless, we would begin with an initial appointment to get a greater understanding of your past and current medical history. From there, we would work with you to develop a FEASIBLE plan that would help you achieve the goals you have set out for yourself.
Do you offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections?
We do!
But as with all treatment, we must first assess whether this would be the appropriate regimen for you.
We would be more than happy to discuss this with you at your initial consultation!
