Obesity and Weight ​

Obesity, a clinical condition of being overweight, refers to an abnormal accumulation of fat (adipose) tissue in the body, leading to impaired health and other medical problems such as diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure and more. Technically, obesity is defined using a calculation known as the body mass index (BMI) which is calculated using your height and weight. A BMI of 30 or greater is considered obesity while a BMI of 25-29.9 is considered overweight.

Lifestyle Changes

While weight loss medications can help accelerate weight loss, they are meant to be taken in conjunction with other lifestyle modifications. Lifestyle changes that can help with weight loss include dietary changes, exercise and behavioral changes

Diet

Diets that are more conducive to losing weight include low glycemic foods that incorporate vegetables, nuts and healthy fats with the general goal of producing a negative energy balance.

Exercise

Physical activity helps catalyze efforts to lose weight through energy expenditure

Behavioral Changes

Psychological coping strategies may also be helpful in creating a healthy environment conducive to losing weight.

Weight Loss Medications

Weight loss medications are found in various forms, including as weight loss injections and weight loss pills. Some weight loss medications are approved by the FDA for weight loss while others are prescribed off-label. More recently, a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promise in helping people lose weight. Weight loss medications work in a variety of ways and may help by reducing appetite, decreasing food absorption, increasing metabolism, regulating insulin release, and changing gastric motility.

​Examples of non-controlled medications that are sometimes prescribed by our medical practitioners include the following:
​Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy)
​Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)
