Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss Solutions for Every Stage

The medical weight management team at Iowa Weight Loss Specialists understands the challenges that come from trying to lose weight. Everywhere you turn there is conflicting or misleading information. Every person is unique in their health journey and the changes they need to make to have successful weight loss. We know it is more complex than eating less and exercising more. We want to make this process easier for you. We also know that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can significantly improve your overall well-being. That's why we offer a medical weight loss program designed to help you reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.

Beyond the Scale: A Personalized Approach

Our medical weight loss program goes beyond simply counting calories. We take a holistic approach, addressing the underlying factors contributing to weight gain. This may include hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, or emotional eating. Through a personalized consultation, our healthcare professionals will develop a weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs and medical history.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solutions for Lasting Change

Our medical weight loss regimen is a non-surgical option for individuals who want an effective and safe way to lose weight. This program is ideal for those who may not qualify for, or prefer to avoid, bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery).

Here are some key features of our medical weight loss program:

Individualized Weight Loss Plan: Our program is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We create a personalized plan based on your weight loss goals, medical history, and lifestyle.
Weight Loss Medications: We may incorporate prescription weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to help you manage your weight. These medications suppress appetite, increase metabolism, or block fat absorption.
Nutritional Guidance: Our Iowa weight loss team includes a registered dietitian who will provide personalized nutrition counseling to help you develop healthy eating habits that you can maintain for life.
Behavioral Support: We understand that losing weight requires physical and psychological changes. Our program offers ongoing support and guidance to help you overcome emotional barriers to weight loss and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Weight Loss Tracking and Monitoring: We will track your progress throughout your weight loss journey and adjust your plan to ensure you stay on track and achieve your goals.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight loss program offers a variety of benefits, including:

Safe and Effective Weight Loss: Our program is designed to help you lose weight safely and effectively, under the supervision of medical professionals.
Improved Overall Health: Losing weight can lead to several health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced risk of heart disease, and better sleep.
Increased Energy Levels: As you lose weight, you may experience increased energy levels and improved stamina.
Enhanced Confidence: Reaching your weight loss goals can boost your self-esteem and confidence.
Long-Term Weight Management: Our program focuses on developing healthy lifestyle habits that can help you maintain a healthy weight for the long term.

Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?

If you're struggling to lose weight on your own or have weight-related health concerns, medical weight loss is a good option. Here are some signs that medical weight loss might be right for you:

You have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, which is considered obese (Try our BMI Calculator).
You have a BMI of 27 or higher (considered overweight) and have a weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or high blood pressure.
You have tried other weight loss methods without success.
