Weight Management Program
Lifestyle & Weight Management Program
Weight loss is a goal that many people share, though the means of achieving this goal is different among individuals. The science of weight management is complex and continues to expand. Today we know that there are many medical conditions, food intolerances, hormone imbalances, life situations, and medications that can lead to weight gain. Whether it is 10 pounds or more, achieving a healthier weight can help prevent or treat many of the most common chronic diseases as well as improve one’s quality of life.
At Elevation Health, PC, many facets of a successful weight loss program are accessible under one roof in a relaxed and comfortable setting. The process starts with a complete and detailed history and exam with Heather Peters, our Family Nurse Practitioner and Maggi Birdsell, our Registered Dietitian; after which a program is formulated specifically to one’s medical issues and personal preferences. Among the benefits of choosing Elevation Health is that we offer access to a team of specialists including a nutritionist, health coach, personal trainer for fitness assessment, and exercise classes amenable to a range of physical ability.
Studies show that regular contact with a provider is an integral part of most successful weight loss programs, and being part of a group, whether it is a fitness, nutrition or wellness class, can bring positive energy and provide support.
