Why should I be interested?
Weight management isn’t only about appearance — it’s about supporting your overall health. Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems, while enhancing energy, mental clarity, and overall wellness. At our Beverly Hills office, our weight loss experts help patients adopt practical, sustainable lifestyle changes that naturally integrate into daily life.
Does Medical Weight Loss Really Work?
Yes absolutely! A scientific study published in Journal of Medical Internet Research conducted a randomized trial of 340 obese adults (with or without type 2 diabetes) in Denmark, those receiving lifestyle‑coaching intervention, lost significantly more weight after 12 months compared to usual care (–4.5 kg vs –1.5 kg) and had a greater BMI reduction.

Understanding Medical Weight Loss
What is Medically Supervised Weight Loss?
Medically supervised weight loss involves ongoing monitoring by licensed professionals who evaluate your health, create a personalized plan, and track your progress. It may include nutritional counseling, metabolic testing, and safe use of prescription weight loss medication when appropriate.
This approach ensures your results are both effective and sustainable — with every step tailored to your individual health goals.
Benefits of Seeking Professional Guidance
Working with medical experts helps you:
-
Identify underlying causes of weight gain (such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic issues).
-
Receive clinical supervision to ensure your plan is safe.
-
Access tools like body composition analysis for accurate tracking of fat and muscle changes.
-
Build habits that promote lifelong wellness.
Prescription Weight Loss Medication
How Prescription Weight Loss Medications Work
In certain situations, your provider may prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications to support your goals. These treatments can help reduce appetite, boost metabolism, and enhance insulin sensitivity. Before recommending any medication, your clinician will carefully assess your overall health and individual needs.
Benefits and Considerations
When monitored by a medical professional, prescription medications can promote faster initial weight loss and make healthy habits easier to maintain. To achieve long-term success, they should always be combined with a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and consistent follow-up visits to minimize side effects and track progress.
Body Fat Percentage? Bone Density?
When discussing body weight and BMI, it's important to note that even if you are "obese" according to BMI, this does not necessarily mean you are unhealthy.
​
How does this affect you?
With accurate measurements, we can more accurately determine the actual amount of weight you should lose based on your preference and medical history.
