What is Weight Loss?

Weight loss means reducing how much your body weighs by eating differently, moving more, and changing how you live. Carrying too much weight or being obese can raise the chance of getting different health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. When you take charge of your weight, you make your body and mind healthier, and your life better. But losing weight and keeping it off for a long time can be hard for many people because of things like genes, how they live, and other health issues they might have.

Our Approach to Weight Loss

At Volusia Medical Center, we have a full approach to losing weight that looks at how your body feels, how you feel inside, and the things you do. Our team of weight loss experts includes doctors, food experts, exercise specialists, and therapists who all work together to make a plan just for you, based on what you need and what you want to do.

 

We know that everyone is different, so there's no one way to lose weight that works for everyone. That's why we spend time looking at your medical history, checking how you're doing physically, and talking about your lifestyle and what you want to happen with your weight. After we've looked at all that, we make a plan that's just for you. It might include changes to what you eat, suggestions for how to move more, ways to change what you do, and maybe even medicine if that's what you need.

Services We Offer for Weight Loss

1. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

To start our plan to help you lose weight, our experienced medical team will check you out thoroughly. They'll look at your medical history, check how you're doing physically, and see if there are any health problems that might affect your weight loss journey.

2. Personalized Nutritional Counseling

Our registered dietitians will work with you to make a special eating plan that fits what you need and what you want. They'll talk to you one-on-one to help you learn about eating healthy, controlling how much you eat, and picking foods that help you lose weight.

3. Customized Exercise Prescription

Exercise is important for losing weight. Our exercise experts will make a special plan just for you based on how fit you are, what you like, and what you want to do. Whether you prefer cardio, strength training, or flexibility exercises, we'll help you find activities that you enjoy and can incorporate into your daily routine.

4. Behavioral Therapy and Support

Changing habits and behaviors is key to long-term weight loss success. Our therapists will talk to you one-on-one and help you figure out how to change things that might stop you from losing weight. They'll also help you come up with ways to deal with tough situations and make changes that last. We also have groups where you can talk to other people who are trying to lose weight, share stories, and get cheered on.

5. Medical Interventions

Sometimes, you might need some extra help from medicine to lose weight. Our doctors will look at what you need and might suggest some special pills or even surgery to help you lose weight. We'll talk to you about these options and help you decide what's best for you.

Achieving your weight loss goals is just the beginning. We're committed to supporting you on your journey to long-term weight maintenance and overall wellness.
