Weight Loss Consultation Q&A

When should I consider a weight loss consultation?

You should consider scheduling a weight loss consultation at The Women's Clinic if you’re struggling to reach your weight goals on your own after making changes to your diet and exercise routine. 

The team also suggests coming in for help with weight management if you have a weight-related health problem, such as:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic pain
  • Difficulty walking
  • Low self-esteem

The Women's Clinic provides female-focused holistic care, taking care of your whole health. The team understands the connection between weight and your physical and emotional well-being. They also know how frustrating it is to continuously lose and regain the same weight over and over again.

Lack of willpower isn’t the reason you struggle with your weight. Weight management is complex, and eating less and moving more isn’t always enough. 

The team at The Women's Clinic uses extensive testing to uncover the root cause of your weight struggles so they can create a plan that works.

 

Can a weight loss consult address PCOS or menopause weight gain?

A weight loss consultation at The Women's Clinic can address weight gain related to health issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and menopause. The team has extensive training and experience in these health concerns. 

The Women's Clinic may provide disease-specific interventions to assist in weight management, like anti-androgen drugs for PCOS and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause. 

 

What can I expect during a weight loss consultation?

You can expect an attentive and comprehensive weight loss consultation at The Women's Clinic. Your provider asks detailed questions about your weight and the methods you’ve tried in the past to lose weight. They ask about your eating and exercise habits, sleep schedule, and daily routine.

Your provider reviews your medical history, does a physical exam, and orders tests to screen for health issues that influence weight management. 

 

What happens after my weight loss consultation?

Your provider at The Women's Clinic talks with you about your health, the results of any testing, and how they affect your weight. They talk to you about the tools they offer that can help you reach your weight goals in detail and work with you to create a plan.

Your weight loss plan may include:

  • Nutrition education 
  • Exercise and activity recommendations
  • Sleep hygiene
  • Stress management

The team may also talk to you about weight loss medications that help with appetite control to support your efforts.

When diet and exercise aren’t working, it’s time to schedule a weight loss consultation at The Women's Clinic. Call today or use the online booking button to schedule your consultation.
