Non-Surgical Weight Loss

A healthier path. Personalized for you.

Losing weight can be difficult, especially when diet and exercise alone have not worked. You do not have to manage it by yourself.

CHI Health Medical Weight Management offers a personalized, non-surgical approach supported by experienced health care professionals. We look beyond the number on the scale to understand your health, lifestyle, challenges and goals.

Together, we will create a realistic plan designed to improve your health and help you build habits that can last.

Our Provider

Is medical weight management right for you?

Our program may be a good fit if you:

  • Have struggled to lose weight or keep it off
  • Want a non-surgical weight-management option
  • Have weight-related health concerns
  • Are living with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, or osteoarthritis.
  • Want medical guidance before considering weight-loss medication
  • Need additional support with nutrition and healthy habits
  • Want a plan based on your overall health, not only your BMI

You do not need to wait until your health gets worse. An evaluation can help you understand your options.

Your personalized care may include:

Medical evaluation - Your provider will review your health history, current medications, past weight-loss efforts and any health conditions that may affect your weight.

Laboratory testing - Testing may be recommended to evaluate blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid health, liver function, vitamin levels or other health concerns.

Nutrition guidance - Your provider can help you create an eating plan that fits your health needs, schedule, culture, food preferences and budget.

Prescription weight-management medications - Medication may be considered when appropriate. Your provider will explain the possible benefits, risks, side effects and monitoring requirements.

Activity and lifestyle planning - We will help you find realistic ways to increase movement, improve sleep, manage stress and develop healthier daily routines.

Continued medical monitoring - Regular follow-up visits allow your care team to review your progress, adjust your plan and help you work through challenges.

What to Expect 

  1. Schedule your first visit - Contact our team to request an appointment. We will explain what information you may need before your visit.
  2. Complete your health evaluation - Your provider will discuss your medical history, weight history, medications, lifestyle, goals and concerns. Testing may be ordered when needed.
  3. Receive your personalized plan - Your care plan will be based on your health needs and may include nutrition counseling, lifestyle changes, medication or referrals to other specialists.
  4. Stay connected with your care team - Your progress will be reviewed during follow-up visits. Your plan can be adjusted as your needs and goals change.

More than a diet plan

Weight management is not one-size-fits-all. Your weight may be affected by nutrition, medications, medical conditions, hormones, sleep, stress, activity level and other factors.

Our team takes time to understand the full picture. Your plan may include medical visits, nutrition support, health screenings, lifestyle coaching and prescription weight-management medication when medically appropriate.

The goal is not only weight loss. It is better health, more energy, improved mobility and a plan you can maintain.

Progress is more than a number

Success does not look the same for everyone.

We may track changes in:

  • Weight and body composition
  • Blood sugar and A1C
  • Blood pressure
  • Cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Energy and sleep
  • Strength and mobility
  • Medication needs
  • Confidence and quality of life

Even modest changes can be meaningful when they improve your health and help you feel better.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Medication is only one possible part of medical weight management. Your provider will discuss the choices that are appropriate for your health, needs and preferences.

Prescription medications may be considered when medically appropriate. The medication selected will depend on your health history, current medications, possible risks, insurance coverage and availability.

 

Coverage varies by insurance plan and service. Contact your insurance company before your visit to ask about laboratory testing and prescription medication coverage.

Results are different for every person. Your care team will help you set safe and realistic goals. The focus is steady progress and long-term health rather than rapid weight loss.

Referral requirements may depend on the service and your insurance plan. Contact our office for help understanding the next step.

Your provider can discuss other treatment options. Nutrition services may also have self-pay or discounted options when insurance does not cover.

You do not have to wait for the perfect time or try another plan alone.

Let our team help you understand your health, explore your options and create a plan that works for your life.
