Your body weight may increase your risk of developing chronic diseases.
Being overweight can lead to issues such as:
Diabetes
Certain types of cancer
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Heart disease
Osteoarthritis
Kidney disease
Fatty liver disease
Losing weight, even as little as 5-10% of your current weight, may significantly reduce your risk of developing a chronic health issue.
Dedicated to helping people reach their health and wellness goals, Apex Wellness offers a comprehensive weight management program, which is conducted through telehealth visits rather than in-office clinic visits.
Anyone is a good candidate for the weight management program at Apex Wellness. Whether you’re struggling to lose 10 pounds or 50 pounds, the practice offers a realistic weight management program that focuses on helping you make lifestyle changes to improve food choices and habits.
The weight management program also benefits those who simply want to learn how to maintain a healthy weight to optimize wellness and well-being.
Dr. Patel and Dr. Jones take a whole-body approach to care, and you can expect a comprehensive evaluation during your weight management consultation. Through their telehealth technology, they ask detailed questions about your:
Usual diet
Current weight
Weight struggles
Food struggles
Exercise habits
Daily stresses
Occupation
Personal medical history
Family history
Medication and supplement use
To estimate your BMI, they also request you provide your current weight and height.
Dr. Jones and Dr. Patel create a personalized weight management program that takes into consideration your eating style, medical and family histories, health risks, and weight goals.
They develop an eating plan that’s realistic, not restrictive. The goal of the plan is to put you in control of your eating habits and your weight. Dr. Jones and Dr. Patel provide the ongoing support you need, but they don’t call every day.
In addition to diet, your weight management program may also include:
Exercise guidance
Strength training program
Stress management
Lifestyle modification
Ongoing support
Through their telehealth service, Dr. Jones and Dr. Patel schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, answer questions, provide guidance, and cheer you on.
