Physician-Supervised and Evidence Based: The Science behind the Medi-Weightloss® Program
The American Medical Association (2013) recognizes obesity as a disease that requires a range of medical interventions. Health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, require the specialized, often individualized, care of a healthcare professional. This is why one- size-fits-all approaches to weight loss and weight maintenance often don’t result in long-term success. Research has shown that physician-supervised weight loss programs are an effective way to lose weight and maintain that weight loss over time (Jensen et al., 2013). Developed and administered by healthcare experts, the physician-supervised Medi-Weightloss® Program is evidence-based to result in a successful lifestyle change. When administering the treatment, Medi-Weightloss® healthcare providers take each patient’s unique health profile into account, which is what makes us The One that Works!® In fact, our patients have lost nearly 4 million pounds nationwide since 2006. Our program includes screening for and management of obesity tand metabolic syndrome (adults & adolescents age 12-18), medical nutrition therapy/behavioral counseling, fitness recommendations, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes screenings. Our Signature Supplements & Products are designed to enhance the weight loss treatment, assisting patients in reaching and maintaining their weight loss goals. Formulated to result in greater satiety, the low-calorie, high-protein products provide patients with quick, nutritious options that make weight loss simpler. The Medi-Weightloss® treatment guidelines are supported by industry sponsored research and are clinically demonstrated to be nutritious and beneficial for weight loss.
