A Helping Hand
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a personalized approach to weight management that combines nutritional counseling, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, medication.
Dr. Alexander GolBerg works with you to develop a plan that addresses your individual needs and goals. This approach goes beyond simply restricting calories or following a fad diet. It focuses on understanding the underlying factors contributing to excess weight and creating a sustainable plan that addresses those factors.

Beyond Diet and Exercise
What is the medical weight loss process like?
During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your health history, weight loss goals, and any concerns you may have. We'll also conduct a physical examination and may order blood work to assess your overall health. Based on this information, we'll develop a personalized plan that might include:
Nutritional Counseling
We'll work with you to create a healthy eating plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you reach your goals. This might involve identifying and addressing any food sensitivities or intolerances and helping you make healthier food choices.
Lifestyle Modifications
We'll help you identify and address any behavioral or environmental factors that contribute to weight gain. This might involve exploring stress management techniques, identifying triggers for unhealthy eating habits, and creating a more supportive environment for weight loss.
Medication
In some cases, we may prescribe medication to help suppress appetite or increase metabolism. We'll discuss the potential benefits and risks of medication with you and ensure it's the right choice for your individual needs.
For a Better Life
What conditions does medical weight loss address?
Medical weight loss addresses various conditions associated with excess weight, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint pain. Excess weight can put a strain on your heart, increase your risk of developing chronic diseases, and negatively impact your quality of life. Our program aims to help you manage these conditions and improve your overall health.

Taking The First Step
Am I a candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
If you are overweight or obese and are motivated to make lifestyle changes, you may be a good candidate for medical weight loss. However, if you have certain medical conditions, such as an eating disorder, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, you may not be a candidate.
It's important to discuss your individual situation with Dr. GolBerg to determine if medical weight loss is right for you.
A More Natural Solution
Medical Weight Loss Recovery
Medical weight loss involves no surgery. After each appointment, you may experience mild side effects from any medication, but these are usually manageable. It's important to follow Dr. GolBerg's instructions carefully and contact him if you have any concerns.
