What health risks do medical weight loss help with?

Carrying excess weight can lead to serious health risks like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Those who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of developing:

• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Sleep apnea
• Kidney and liver diseases
• Osteoarthritis

When you’re significantly overweight, the excess pressure on your knee and hip joints can also cause problems with your lower back and feet. Obesity can lead to depression and affect your overall quality of life, both physically and emotionally.

What happens during weight loss consultation?

Weight loss consultations often begin with lab testing to determine any underlying causes of your weight gain and to ensure your overall health as you embark on your medical weight loss journey. 

Depending on your blood tests and lab results, your physician might prescribe medications to correct any underlying health conditions, such as thyroid issues or problems with your hormone or insulin levels.

If you’ve had trouble losing weight and keeping it off, a medical weight-loss program may be the solution for a healthier diet and lifestyle.

What are the benefits of a medical weight loss program?

With regular weigh-ins and consultations at The Honeycomb Clinic, you ensure that your safety and health are a top priority. When you need help with weight loss, the knowledgeable and friendly staff customize programs to your specific health needs, weight loss goals, and lifestyle.

The practice is minority-owned and women-owned and welcomes diversity and people of all shades and sizes. Fitness and nutritional classes are available.

Is weight loss harder with age?

It may be more challenging to lose weight as you get older, but it’s possible to return to a healthy weight at any age. As you get older, you naturally lose muscle mass, your hormones change, and your body may change how it stores fat.

Additionally, you may lead a less active lifestyle than you did when you were younger. Or a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits may make it harder to adjust to better nutrition. Whatever the case, The Honeycomb Clinic can help you lose weight and keep it off at every stage of your life.
