What do you expect from our TelePlus Care weight loss program?
Our weight loss program that incorporates medications typically involves a comprehensive approach to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight. These programs often combine medication with dietary changes, exercise regimens, and behavioral therapy to maximize effectiveness. Here’s a brief overview of such a program:
The program begins with a thorough medical evaluation by our TelePlus Care Obesity Medicine Board Certified healthcare provider. This evaluation assesses the individual’s overall health, medical history, current medications, and any underlying conditions that may affect weight loss efforts.
Based on the evaluation, our healthcare provider may prescribe medications approved by regulatory authorities for weight loss. These medications work in various ways, such as suppressing appetite, reducing fat absorption, or increasing metabolism. Common medications used in weight loss programs include Phentermine, Liraglutide, Semaglutide, Orlistat, and Naltrexone/Bupropion.
The healthcare provider collaborates with the individual to develop a personalized treatment plan that includes the appropriate medication, dosage, and duration of treatment.
A registered dietitian or nutritionist provides guidance on adopting a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences. This may involve calorie restriction, portion control, meal planning, and education about healthy eating habits.
A certified fitness trainer or exercise physiologist designs an exercise program suited to the individual’s fitness level, goals, and any physical limitations. Regular physical activity is essential for burning calories, improving metabolism, and enhancing overall health.
Behavioral therapy techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, may be incorporated into the program to address psychological factors influencing eating behaviors and lifestyle choices. This helps individuals develop sustainable habits and coping strategies to overcome challenges and maintain long-term weight loss success.
The individual’s progress is closely monitored throughout the program, with regular follow-up appointments scheduled to assess weight loss, adjust medications if necessary, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.
Who is qualified to receive a prescription for weight loss:
Weight loss medications are typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obese) or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with obesity-related health conditions. These medications are meant to be used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise should be maintained for long-term success even after discontinuing medication.
