Improve Your Weight Loss Journey
At Best Life Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss Center, we recognize the specific obstacles associated with weight management. Utilizing our extensive medical knowledge and industry expertise, we're here to help you overcome these barriers. To empower successful weight loss results and confidence that radiates from the inside out, we provide customized medical weight loss programs.
Understanding Medical Weight Loss
Our bodies are very efficient at holding onto every calorie, and every pound. They are extremely resistant to weight loss. Therefore, diet and exercise don’t always provide results for individuals navigating obesity and/or weight-related conditions. We will perform a thorough evaluation and may recommend incorporating a prescription weight loss medication into your weight management plan. Combined with a balanced lifestyle, these medications target and improve the body's inner workings, helping you lose weight and keep it off.
The Role of Weight Loss Medication
Weight loss medications should not be confused with store-bought or online diet pills. Prescription weight loss medications are provided by a qualified provider to ensure patient safety and mitigate the risk of side effects caused by misuse. Moreover, these medications should be used with a structured nutrition and exercise regimen.
The Medical Weight Loss Process
At Best Life Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss Center, we know that medical weight loss is more than just shedding pounds. It's about committing to a complete lifestyle transformation. To foster successful results, we employ a multidisciplinary approach designed to help you prioritize your mental and physical well-being.
Personalized Evaluation & Medical History Assessment
Our programs begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Pristas. This assessment includes a full medical history review, a discussion about what has and has not worked for you in the past, and a comprehensive lab work evaluation. This enables us to assess potential weight-retention factors, such as age, genetics, and medical history.
Weight Loss Medication & Treatment Plan
Once we understand your health and weight loss challenges, we begin treatment planning. As this journey is incredibly personal, developing your medical weight loss plans involves defining your goals. We will then explain the various prescription weight loss options and determine the best choice for your needs.
Lifestyle Modifications
Contrary to popular belief, prescription weight loss solutions are not a quick fix. These medications require committing to a lifestyle overhaul. Our medical weight loss programs replace the discouragement of finding what works with education, resources, and support. All of our programs include individualized lifestyle counseling, nutritional guidance, and physical activity recommendations to help you reach your weight loss goals.
Medications Used to Treat Weight Loss
Weight loss medications have been a revelation for many of our patients. Based on a review of your medical history and a conversation about your preferences, Dr. Pristas and the team may recommend one of the following
Wegovy®
(semaglutide)Mounjaro®
(tirzepatide)Ozempic®
