Medicinal Treatment
Support weight loss efforts when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient, manage obesity-related health conditions, and provide structured medical guidance.
- Prescription weight loss medications to aid appetite control, reduce cravings, and improve metabolism, always under strict medical supervision.
- Very low calorie diets (VLCDs) or meal replacement programs, carefully supervised by a dietitian and medical team for rapid weight loss in specific cases.
- Management of co-existing health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea, which are often exacerbated by obesity.
- Referral to specialist weight management services for comprehensive support, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address eating behaviors.
