Medical Weight Loss: ZenLife MD

Healthy and Attainable Weight Loss Programs Customized to Your Needs

The best way to lose weight is through a healthy weight loss program designed for your own body’s needs and conditions. At ZenLife MD, we’re here to help patients dealing with obesity to take the first step towards a healthier version of themselves through our medical weight loss program and obesity medicine.

There are plenty of weight loss programs available online. However, there are several reasons why they’re not the best solution for your weight loss goals. Some of them aren’t made by medical professionals or science-based. Following them can have adverse results on your body. In some cases, fad diets, diet supplements, and “weight loss hacks” can have little to no results and can leave you demotivated to reach your goal weight.

Our ZenLife MD doctors will help you sift through the information and work with you to meet your weight loss goals and enhance your treatment plan as your body improves.

Understanding Obesity Medicine

Obesity medicine uses science-based medicine and integrated solutions to provide comprehensive care and treatment for patients with obesity. When a person is obese, it means that their body has too much body fat relative to their height that it has become unhealthy and increases the risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

At ZenLife MD, we can help you get rid of your excess fat through a combination of obesity medicine’s four pillars: nutrition, physical activity, behavior, and medication. Through evidence-based treatment, we can improve your health outcomes, help you reach a healthier weight range, and reduce the fat in your body.

Custom Weight Loss Programs

Everyone’s bodies are different, so distributing the same cookie-cutter weight loss program won’t work for everyone. At ZenLife MD, we take steps to design a weight loss program that’s scientifically based on your body’s needs and pre-existing conditions.

Your weight loss program is integrated with medical and science-based practices that have helped patients with similar conditions as yours. We also consider factors such as results and observations from your health assessment, personal goals, and known obstacles that have hindered your weight loss journey in the past.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

Below are some of the benefits of our medical weight loss program:

• Personalized Plans: Tailored diet and exercise strategies that consider personal health conditions and goals
• Medical Supervision: Continuous monitoring by our team to safely adjust plans as needed
• Behavioral Support: Counseling and support groups to help modify eating behaviors and lifestyle choices
• Comprehensive Health Improvement: Focus on overall well-being, not just weight loss
• Accountability and Motivation: Regular check-ins to keep you on track and motivated

Our Medical Weight Loss Process

The first step of our weight loss program is scheduling a medical consultation with Dr. Kareem. She can help you identify your goals and then interview you regarding your medical history, daily habits and practices, and other areas for opportunities to create a healthier lifestyle.

From there, our health and wellness center can create a weight loss program designed for your needs and your estimated weight loss. Since every body is different, it may take several weeks to months before you notice a difference or improvement. Our team can assist you throughout every step of your weight loss journey until you see your desired results.

Nutritional Consultations

Part of a well-rounded weight loss program is healthy nutrition. For some patients, it can mean changing their diet to more nutritious alternatives, while others may focus on meal composition and portion sizes. Our in-house team can offer meal plans and other recommendations during your nutritional consultations to get a healthy but effective calorie deficit to help with your weight loss.

Fitness Consultations

A good weight loss plan has to combine both nutrition and exercise. We understand that not everyone is physically capable of performing high-intensity exercises from the get-go, and we can customize your workout routine to fit your capabilities and progression. Your fitness routine can start with low-impact routines that can be a jumping point for a more active lifestyle. 

Once you’ve strengthened and toned your muscles, we can modify your routine for higher-impact exercises.

Candidacy for Medical Weight Loss

Patients should be struggling with weight loss through traditional means, have a significant amount of weight to lose, or suffer from obesity-related health conditions. These programs are particularly beneficial for those seeking a structured and medically supervised approach to weight loss, emphasizing not just the diet and exercise aspects but also the behavioral changes necessary for long-term success.
