Medical Weight Loss in Iowa

At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we offer a safe and effective medical weight loss program designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight without weight loss surgery. Our evidence-based, non-surgical weight loss approach is led by a comprehensive team of nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and mental health therapists who provide compassionate, one-on-one support every step of the way.

We want to help you make lifelong changes by teaching you to make healthy food choices for a lifetime, not just for a few weeks or months. While fad diets may lead to weight loss, it is often very difficult to maintain. Changing your lifestyle is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, and we believe that long-lasting results are achieved by making small changes over time.

This program is ideal for individuals looking for a structured, sustainable path to weight loss under medical supervision.

We focus on:

  • A real-food approach to nutrition
  • Sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes
  • Monitoring of weight-related medical conditions
  • Coordination with your primary care physician
  • Use of FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate

Who Can Benefit?

Medical weight loss treatment is especially helpful for individuals with:

  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher
  • Obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
  • Difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone

Our patients typically lose between 5–15% of their total body weight, and many experience improved energy, confidence, and overall wellness.
