We offer a wide range of weight loss options
Obesity is tied to many health issues like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart issues and joint problems. In most instances losing weight can alleviate or at least reduce the severity of these issues. Optimizing one’s weight prolongs life and improves its quality.
Each patient's weight loss journey is a personal one, and our providers help customize a plan that makes sense. Any method a patient chooses is more beneficial than living with obesity.
The following types of weight loss treatments are available at Life Medical:
Drs. Nina Bacaner prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 injectable drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro when appropriate.
Dr. Jacob Mirman uses a supplement system called Neuro Research Protocol, that causes appetite suppression and allows patients to stick to a calorie-restricted diet leading to weight loss.
He has had many patients (including himself) have weight loss success using this product.
Dr. B.J. Goldman is a registered dietician. She works with patients and counsels them on how to eat better and healthier in order to lose weight without the help of pharmaceuticals.
Drugs are not usually a permanent solution
Both the drugs and the supplements assist in weight management by causing appetite suppression and making it easier to stick to an appropriate diet. Neither is a permanent cure of obesity.
Stopping the medications and supplements leads to return of pre-existing levels of hunger and may cause weight to come back.
And even on the drugs or supplements, most patients need to make an effort to significantly alter their diet to achieve the desired effect. Our doctors can provide guidance as appropriate.
