Why should I consider weight loss?

Your weight plays a critical role in your overall health. When you’re overweight or obese, the additional pressure on your joints, heart, and other organs can increase your risk for chronic illness and persistent pain.

By losing even a small amount of weight, you can significantly improve your health. The medically managed weight-loss services available at Prestige Primary Care, P.A. help you achieve your weight-loss goals safely.

Dr. Aziz uses a range of strategies so you can shed excess weight and learn how to make lasting changes that support a healthy body weight long term.

What is involved in weight loss?

Instead, Dr. Aziz uses principles of medical science to target the root cause of weight gain. He also assists you in overcoming the obstacles and challenges you face when losing weight.

Dr. Aziz identifies existing health factors that affect your ability to lose weight efficiently. He also creates an individualized weight-loss plan based on your body type, health, and weight-loss goals.

You have access to tools that support weight loss, including:

• Diet modifications
• Nutrition counseling
• Daily exercise plans
• Appetite suppressants

Under the guidance of Dr. Aziz, you can start losing weight and learn strategies to keep it off for good.

What can I expect during my first weight-loss consultation?

During your initial weight-loss consultation at Prestige Primary Care, P.A., Dr. Aziz notes your current weight and completes a physical exam. He may order blood work or other diagnostic tests to learn more about your overall health, metabolism, and body composition.

Based on your test results, Dr. Aziz creates a weight-loss program for you to follow. He also helps you set reasonable wellness goals and provides strategies you can use to achieve them.

If you have underlying health issues like diabetes that make weight loss difficult or physical issues that prevent strenuous exercise, Dr. Aziz can recommend strategies you can use to safely burn excess calories and build muscle.

You can expect to schedule routine weight checks and health evaluations while you’re on your weight-loss program. Dr. Aziz also provides ongoing resources that keep you on track with your program in the long term.
