Another possible treatment
Medication used in conjunction with lifestyle changes may help create meaningful weight loss to improve your chronic condition. As a society, we would never raise our eyebrow when a physician recommends blood pressure medication for hypertension; however, for some reason we don't see FDA-approved medications that treat obesity in the same vein, even though obesity is defined as chronic disease by the American Medical Association. There are several FDA approved medications that vary in how they work, as well as their efficacy and safety. While medication can help with meaningful weight loss, weight regain may occur with discontinuation of drug therapy. I am happy to introduce you to the drugs available and my client's experiences with them for you to consider and discuss with your physician.
