Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss?

At Set Point Medical Weight Loss Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals who have struggled to achieve or maintain a healthy weight through traditional approaches like diet and exercise alone. A candidate for medical weight loss typically includes individuals who are:

• Overweight or Obese: Those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 and related health issues like hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease.

• Struggling with Traditional Weight Loss Methods: Individuals who have had difficulty losing weight through conventional dieting and exercise alone.

• Health Conditions Affected by Weight: Those with medical conditions that are impacted by obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, or joint pain.

• Seeking Supervised Weight Loss: Individuals who desire professional guidance and support through a medically supervised program that may include dietary plans, behavioral therapy, exercise recommendations, and FDA-approved weight loss medications.

• Ready for Lifestyle Changes: Those who are committed to making long-term changes to their eating habits, physical activity, and overall lifestyle.

A healthcare provider evaluates each individual’s unique situation before recommending a personalized medical weight loss plan. At Set Point Medical Weight Loss Clinic, our experienced medical team will review your health history, current medications, and overall wellness to determine if our program is right for you. Every plan is tailored to your unique needs and health goals. We’re here to help you find your healthiest set point and support you every step of the way.

Losing weight is a complex process that involves much more than simply eating less and exercising more. At Set Point Medical Weight Loss Clinic, we understand that every individual’s weight journey is unique, and that lasting success requires a comprehensive, medically supervised approach. Our services are designed to provide personalized support, from customized nutrition plans to professional guidance and advanced treatment options, ensuring that each patient receives the care and attention they need to achieve their weight loss goals.

A specialist can play a vital role in your weight loss journey by offering a personalized and medically supervised approach. They evaluate your unique health conditions, goals, and lifestyle to develop a plan tailored to your needs. This ensures that the strategies you follow are not only effective but also safe, particularly if you have underlying health issues like diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal imbalances. They can also recommend specialized treatments such as FDA-approved weight loss medications, appetite suppressants, or even surgical options when necessary.

Moreover, specialists provide crucial support in addressing the emotional and behavioral factors that impact weight loss. Many people struggle with emotional eating, cravings, and a lack of motivation, which can hinder progress. A weight loss specialist can offer guidance, therapy, and continuous monitoring to help you stay on track, make lasting lifestyle changes, and achieve long-term success. Their expertise increases your chances of overcoming obstacles and achieving sustainable weight loss results.

By working with the specialists at Set Point Medical Weight Loss Clinic, you gain a caring partner dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight—so you can enjoy lasting improvements in your health and quality of life, all in a safe, supportive environment.

We recognize that not everyone will meet the specific eligibility criteria for our medical weight loss programs. If you don’t qualify for medical weight loss, there are still many other effective weight loss options available. It’s important to focus on sustainable, long-term strategies that promote healthy habits. First, a balanced diet and regular physical activity are essential for weight management. A professional can help you create a personalized eating plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. Additionally, joining support groups or working with a fitness coach can provide the accountability and motivation needed to stay on track.

Many individuals also benefit from non-medical weight loss programs that offer structured support and expert advice. Ultimately, it’s about finding the right approach for you, focusing on gradual, sustainable changes, and achieving a healthier lifestyle at your own pace.

We believe that gradual, realistic changes are the foundation of long-term success. Remember, weight management is a journey, and you don’t have to go it alone. Whether you’re working directly with our medical team or utilizing community resources and support groups, we’re committed to helping you find the right pathway to a healthier you.

Maintaining weight loss can be just as challenging as losing weight in the first place, but building lasting habits is key to long-term success. Once you’ve achieved your weight loss goal, it’s important to focus on habits that support your new, healthier weight. Regular physical activity is essential, so aim to incorporate both aerobic and strength-training exercises into your routine that fit your lifestyle and preferences.

Monitoring your food intake is crucial as well. Focus on balanced meals with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while managing portion sizes and limiting processed foods and sugary drinks. Staying mindful of your weight by checking in regularly, such as once a week, can help catch small gains before they become larger. Managing stress through healthy outlets and improving sleep habits to support hormone balance and metabolism are also important factors. Building a support system can provide the accountability and encouragement needed to stay on track with your weight maintenance goals.
