Struggling with weight issues is a common challenge that affects individuals across all age groups. Effective weight management is much more than just dieting; it involves embracing a holistic approach that integrates healthy lifestyle habits, balanced nutrition, and physical activity. At Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, we believe that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is key to overall well-being and a positive self-image.

The Importance of a Holistic Approach

Your weight is influenced by various factors, including your eating habits, stress levels, sleep quality, and exercise routines. Stress, in particular, can have a significant impact on weight gain, as it triggers hormonal changes that can lead to overeating and fat storage, particularly in the abdominal area. Additionally, lack of sleep and sedentary lifestyles can further complicate weight management efforts.

That’s why our weight loss programs focus on a holistic approach, addressing not just your diet but also your mental and emotional health. By taking a comprehensive view of your lifestyle, we create a personalized plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals.

Customized Weight Management Programs

Our tailored weight loss programs are designed to suit your specific body type, lifestyle, and weight loss objectives. We combine pharmaceutical agents, natural supplements, and evidence-based dietary and lifestyle strategies to help you achieve sustainable results.

Pharmaceutical Support for Optimal Results

For some patients, medications can play a crucial role in supporting weight loss efforts. At Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, we carefully select medications that complement your weight loss plan, ensuring they align with your overall health goals. Commonly prescribed medications may include:-

• Ozempic: A GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness.
• Mounjaro: A powerful medication that helps control blood sugar levels, making it particularly effective for patients with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. Its role in weight loss is an added benefit for those struggling with metabolic challenges.
• Adipex (Phentermine): A well-known appetite suppressant that helps reduce hunger and caloric intake, making it easier for patients to adhere to their dietary plans.
• Metformin: Often prescribed for its role in managing insulin resistance, Metformin can also aid in weight loss, especially in patients with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
• Topamax (Topiramate): Originally used to prevent migraines and seizures, Topamax has shown effectiveness in promoting weight loss by altering the brain's response to hunger and cravings.

Natural Supplements and Lifestyle Strategies

In addition to medications, we offer a range of natural supplements that support weight loss and overall health. These may include:-

• Green Tea Extract: Known for its antioxidant properties and ability to boost metabolism, green tea extract can help burn fat more efficiently.
• Garcinia Cambogia: A natural supplement that contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is believed to help curb appetite and inhibit fat production.
• Glucomannan: A dietary fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant, glucomannan helps promote feelings of fullness and supports healthy digestion.
• Cayenne Pepper: Rich in capsaicin, cayenne pepper has been shown to increase metabolism and reduce appetite, making it a popular supplement for weight loss.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Often used as a natural appetite suppressant, apple cider vinegar may help regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss.

These supplements, combined with personalized dietary advice, stress management techniques, and a tailored exercise plan, ensure a comprehensive approach to weight loss.
