==Medical weight loss== | |||
Medical weight loss refers to a weight loss program that is overseen and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. These programs typically involve a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's medical history, lifestyle habits, and current health status to develop a customized weight loss plan. This plan may include lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and physical activity, as well as medical interventions, such as prescription medications or bariatric surgery, if appropriate. The goal of medical weight loss programs is to promote safe and effective weight loss, improve overall health, and reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. | |||
