Medical Weight Loss: What It Is and What’s Involved

Medical weight loss is a supervised program designed to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss programs are personalized to meet the unique needs of each patient, focusing on sustainable, long-term results.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss involves a comprehensive approach to weight management that is supervised by a team of medical professionals, including doctors, dietitians, and fitness experts. The goal is to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight through a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, behavior modification, and, when necessary, medication or other treatments.

Conclusion

Medical weight loss offers a safe, effective, and personalized approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. With the support of a professional healthcare team, patients can overcome the challenges of weight loss and enjoy the benefits of improved health and well-being.

What’s Involved in Medical Weight Loss?

1. Personalized Weight Loss Plan: The process begins with a thorough assessment of your current health status, weight loss goals, and lifestyle. Based on this evaluation, a customized plan is developed, which may include a specific diet, exercise regimen, and other strategies tailored to your needs.

2. Nutritional Counseling: One of the key components of medical weight loss is proper nutrition. Patients receive ongoing nutritional counseling to learn how to make healthier food choices, control portion sizes, and develop eating habits that support weight loss and overall wellness.

3. Exercise Guidance: Physical activity is essential for successful weight loss. Medical weight loss programs provide personalized exercise plans that consider your fitness level, preferences, and any physical limitations. Regular exercise not only helps burn calories but also improves overall health and well-being.

4. Behavioral Support: Changing habits is crucial for long-term weight loss success. Medical weight loss programs often include behavioral counseling to help patients identify and overcome obstacles to weight loss, such as emotional eating, stress, and lack of motivation.

5. Medical Supervision and Monitoring: Throughout the program, patients are closely monitored by healthcare professionals. This supervision ensures that the weight loss is safe and that any medical conditions are properly managed. It also allows for adjustments to the plan as needed.

6. Medications and Treatments: In some cases, prescription medications or other medical treatments may be recommended to support weight loss efforts. These are carefully prescribed and monitored by the healthcare team to ensure they are safe and effective.

7. Ongoing Support and Maintenance: Once the initial weight loss goals are achieved, the focus shifts to maintaining the results. This includes continued support, regular check-ins, and adjustments to the plan to help patients maintain their new, healthier weight long-term.

What to Expect

Consultation

Your journey at our weight loss clinic in Evans starts with a FREE consultation. A consultation allows us to review your medical history, talk about your health concerns, and make a plan to reach your health goals. We ask that you have all the necessary paperwork and forms filled out before your consultation so we can focus solely on your health during your appointment. Once we’ve finished establishing a base of knowledge, you and Dr. Brooke will discuss whether medical weight loss is right for you.
What to Expect

Body Composition Analysis

Body composition is used evaluate a person’s weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. It describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health over traditional methods like BMI & weight. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

Most diet and fitness goals focus on the number on the scale, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have different body compositions. Measuring your body composition will tell you your own body’s unique makeup and help you identify areas to work on to improve your overall health and wellness.

Getting a better insight into your overall wellness starts with measuring your body composition and going beyond the number on the scale. You will know whether you need to gain more lean mass or lower body fat percentage to achieve a healthy body composition and a better level of health.
What to Expect

Treatment

When we’ve determined that medical weight loss is right for you, we’ll go over your personalized weight loss plan in detail to include diet, exercise, mental work, and any prescription medications/injections. Since every person’s weight loss journey is different, you’ll work closely with Dr. Brooke and have regular checkups to see how much you have lost, how your measurements have changed, how your body composition has changed, and how that fits with your goals.
What to Expect

Next Steps

Once you and Dr. Brooke have reached your weight loss and health goals, we’ll create a sustainable healthy weight loss plan. This plan will help you reduce the number of medications and start implementing different lifestyle choices that will help you keep the weight off.

Direct Specialty Care

After seeing how the healthcare system regularly fails to provide patients with the care they need, Drs. Beau and Brooke Gedrick searched for a different healthcare model that could actually provide patients with high-quality treatment without financially burdening them.

They discovered that membership-based healthcare actually offers patients more time with their doctors, which in turn delivers the best results when it comes to their health. Flex Health is based on that healthcare model and maintains the same goal of providing the best possible care for patients.

Our Patients Say It All

Flex Health has changed healthcare for us. We don’t visit a doctor’s office much unless it’s absolutely necessary. Dr. Gedrick has made it the easiest transition. It’s quick and easy to make an appointment to get my son’s physical. And it’s just as simple to get my daughter seen for an urgent care visit.

Flex Health has changed healthcare for us. We don’t visit a doctor’s office much unless it’s absolutely necessary. Dr. Gedrick has made it the easiest transition. It’s quick and easy to make an appointment to get my son’s physical. And it’s just as simple to get my daughter seen for an urgent care visit. I personally love the women’s wellness side of the clinic. I suffered for years with a weak bladder from having children. A quick, painless treatment plan was setup for me and I’m back to jumping on trampolines again and not having to cross my legs to sneeze! I recently started my weight loss plan, and I’ve lost 20 pounds since January. When I think of a healthcare provider, I want somewhere I can feel comfortable and where I know we will be seen, heard, and cared for without being rushed in and out. Flex Health is the missing link in medical care.

We needed a last minute sports physical and Dr. Gedrick with Flex Health was able to get us in quickly. He was very thorough and made my son feel very comfortable.

I have been on this program for 21 weeks and have lost 36.5 pounds and have lost 10 inches around my stomach. I highly encourage anyone that needs to lose weight and feel better to go see Dr. Gedrick. I am over 50 and have a hard time working out, so this has been amazing in dropping some weight that I have gained over the past 5-10 years.

Go see Dr. Gedrick!!!!

Todd B.

I have been on Dr. Gedrick’s weight loss plan for 21 weeks and have had amazing results. She thoughtfully guides me through the program with reminders of what I should, and should not, be doing regarding what and how much I am eating. She stresses the importance of consuming protein to help prevent muscle loss. She also stresses patience, because this treatment is not a race, and some weeks results may be better than others (I weigh myself daily as an accountability check). I have replaced my breakfast and lunch with protein shakes and I have snacks like almonds, pistachios, and beef jerky throughout the day. I try to avoid eating a late dinner, but with kids’ extracurricular activities it is sometimes hard.

As I stated previously, I have been on this program for 21 weeks and have lost 36.5 pounds and have lost 10 inches around my stomach. I recently had my annual physical with my primary care physician, and he is considering decreasing my blood pressure and cholesterol medication dosages. Even on medication my LDL levels (bad cholesterol) have been high, and my HDL levels (good cholesterol) have been low, but both are now in the normal range. My glucose levels dropped from high to normal as well.

There are eight dosage levels of the Semaglutide and I just recently went to the second level, so I am having excellent results by listening to her recommendations. I highly encourage anyone that needs to lose weight and feel better to go see Dr. Gedrick. I am over 50 and have a hard time working out, so this has been amazing in dropping some weight that I have gained over the past 5-10 years.

Go see Dr. Gedrick!!!!
