Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Brooklyn, NY

Medical weight loss is a way to lose weight safely under the supervision of a medical doctor or practitioner. Weight loss programs have a wide range of professionals to support patients on their journey and keep them on track to meet their goals.
 
Since every medical weight loss program is personalized to the patient’s needs, an initial consultation is the first thing that happens with such programs. With this consultation, the medical professional supervising your weight loss program reviews your medical history, assesses your current weight, body mass index (BMI), and other weight measurements, and learns your goals and reasons for seeking medical weight loss.
 
Given this information, your medical weight loss provider may recommend further testing to evaluate or identify any underlying medical conditions contributing to weight gain or difficulty losing weight and also to identify any nutritional deficiencies that will inform the meal plan involved with the program. From there, they will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to help you meet your goals safely and effectively.

A medical weight loss program can benefit individuals looking for a safe and effective way to lose weight. One of the chief benefits of a medical weight loss program for such individuals is the program’s inherent flexibility to be personalized to each patient’s needs. In this way, medical weight loss programs differ from commercial weight loss options that offer “one-size-fits-all” solutions that cater to the general public but cannot be easily customized depending on the individual’s needs.
 
Additionally, some other benefits of medical weight loss programs include:
 
• Access to prescription medications for weight management
• Consistent encouragement and motivational support from a team of medical weight loss professionals
• Help, recommendations, and support when you reach a plateau
• Reduced cravings and hunger

A medical weight loss program will typically include the following options:
 
• Guidance and advice on lifestyle changes and habits
• Prescription medications, including appetite suppressants and medications that stimulate metabolic function
• At Big Apple, we offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss.
