What Can I Expect with a Holistic Approach to Weight Loss?
Do popular diets that work for everyone else not work for you? You’re not alone. In fact, most fad diets don’t help many people. Even if they do help at first, the results don’t last long.
At MyFitMed, our health and wellness specialists take a holistic approach to weight loss, focusing more on you than your weight. We don’t want you to lose weight fast, only to gain it back within months. We want you to learn how to take care of you, so the weight stays off for good.
Take a moment to learn more about our holistic approach to weight loss and what you can expect.
Why fad diets fail
We understand the allure of fad diets. They promise to help you lose weight fast with little to no effort.
While you may lose weight on these popular plans, keeping it off can prove to be a challenge. Fad diets often require a drastic change in usual eating habits and omit major food groups, require adherence to specific meal plans, or limit eating to set times.
These diets are restrictive, complicated, and nutritionally inadequate, making them hard to follow over the long term. The weight you lose following a fad diet is more water and muscle than fat. That’s why you regain any lost weight quickly when you fall back into your usual diet.
Fad diets also fail because they don’t address any other factor that affects weight, like age, health, and the underlying reasons that trigger food cravings and overeating.
Holistic approach to weight loss
In medicine, holistic means treating the whole person. A holistic approach to weight loss means the focus is on your whole health, not your weight.
Before making any weight loss plans, our health specialists complete a thorough assessment. We want to understand your weight struggles, goals, overall health, and the obstacles that seem to stand in your way.
We use this information to create a comprehensive plan that benefits your whole health, while supporting your weight goals. We help you improve your nutrition, find ways to be more active, and manage stress.
We also encourage healthy sleep habits. Not getting enough sleep may affect hunger hormones, increasing appetite and food cravings. Improving the quality and quantity of your sleep can help you better manage your weight.
We adjust plans to match lifestyle and health, so they fit your life and needs. Additionally, we keep close tabs on your progress, help you overcome weight loss obstacles, and adjust your plan to improve results.
Tools to support goals
Diet and exercise are vital for weight loss, but not always enough. Our holistic weight loss plan offers additional tools that can help you along your weight loss journey, including:
Hormone replacement therapy
Age-related hormone changes can make weight loss harder, affecting sleep metabolism and body composition. We provide hormone replacement therapy to improve hormone balance and support your weight loss efforts.
Peptides
Peptides are strings of amino acids that support various body functions like hormone production and metabolism. We use human growth hormone (HGH) peptides for weight loss to boost metabolism, maintain muscle mass, and increase energy levels.
Intravenous nutrition therapy
Intravenous (IV) nutrition therapy provides essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. We offer many vitamin therapy treatments, including one for weight loss that contains nutrients needed for metabolism and energy.
EmSculpt NEO®
We also offer aesthetic treatments that help weight management like EmSculpt NEO, a noninvasive body contouring tool that uses radiofrequency energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to reduce fat and build muscle.
Our body contouring tool works out your muscles to improve physique and eliminates unwanted pockets of fat.
