What is medically supervised weight loss?

Medically supervised weight loss is a personalized approach to shedding excess pounds with the guidance of healthcare professionals. Unlike fad diets or one-size-fits-all programs, this method combines medical expertise with tailored plans to meet your unique needs and health goals. Our team of weight loss experts considers your lifestyle and monitors your progress while catering your program to help give you the best results.

Your custom plan may incorporate:

Personalized nutrition plans

Our nutritionist creates a day-to-day diet while considering your unique health concerns and preferences. We lay out suggestions for healthy meals and snacks, including lean proteins and plenty of nutrient-packed veggies and fruits, so you can feel satisfied while slimming down.

Medical monitoring

We schedule weekly weigh-ins and talk with you about how your plan is working to make sure you are feeling your best. We measure your vital signs and address any health concerns to put your well-being first and foremost.

Behavior Counseling

We understand change can be hard to endure. That’s why behavioral counseling is an integral part of the process to help identify emotional triggers and alleviate obstacles that may lead to poor eating habits and inactivity.

Medication or supplements

Shahinaz Soliman, MD may suggest medications or supplements to help curb hunger and control cravings. These may include FDA-approved medications like Contrave®, Belviq®, or phentermine.

Exercise guidance

No matter your age or fitness abilities, we have exercise suggestions that help you burn fat and improve mobility. Our fitness plans are designed to be incorporated into your schedule while improving your strength and stamina. 

It’s never too late to start

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably struggled with weight loss and want to find a method that works for you. Although this can be frustrating, it’s never too late to begin the journey to a healthier version of yourself.

Most of our weight loss patients lose one to three pounds per week, and their only regret is wishing they had started sooner. Our programs are designed to be long-term health commitments, so you keep the weight off once and for all. 

Let this January be the start of the most healthy version of yourself. Call 310-530-7244 to for your weight loss consultation or book online.
