Our sustained weight control practice treats the two parts of a successful medical weight control: the initial weight loss and maintenance.  Unhealthy weight is a chronic disease requiring long-term treatment. 

​

Our team practices the principles of obesity medicine.  Based on these principles, we prescribe personalized medical goals and plans.  These principles are:

​

• Nutrition

• Exercise

• Self-monitoring

• Long-term appetite suppression

​

There are FDA approved medications used for long-term weight control.

1. Qsymia (phentermine & topiramate combination)

2. Contrave (naltrexone & buproprion combination)

The goal of medical treatment for unhealthy weight is to live longer, healthier lives.

​

Consult with us.  Remember, it's never just about the medications, just about nutrition, just about monitoring yourself, nor just about exercise.  All four principles of obesity medicine must be followed resulting in significant life-style changes and sustained weight loss.  If you're ready, bring the motivation; we bring the knowledge and training.
