One of the most significant benefits of medical weight loss is the personalized approach. Our team at Marin Regenerative Health, led by Dr. Sarah Scharf, DC, and Dr. Roger Shortz, MD, tailors each program to meet the unique needs and health conditions of our patients. This ensures that the weight loss plan is not only effective but also sustainable.
Our medical weight loss program begins with a thorough health assessment. This includes evaluating your medical history, current health status, and lifestyle factors. This comprehensive assessment helps in identifying any underlying conditions that might be contributing to weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders.
We utilize evidence-based treatments and therapies to aid in weight loss. These may include nutritional counseling, exercise plans, and advanced regenerative treatments like PRP injections and growth factors. These treatments not only aid in weight loss but also enhance your overall health and well-being.
Ongoing support and monitoring are crucial for the success of any weight loss program. Our team provides continuous support, regular check-ins, and adjustments to your plan as needed. This ensures that you stay on track and make steady progress towards your weight loss goals.
Achieving a healthy weight can lead to numerous health benefits, including reduced risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. It can also improve mobility, joint health, and overall quality of life.
Medical weight loss is suitable for anyone who is struggling to lose weight through conventional methods and is looking for a safe, effective, and sustainable solution. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with the following characteristics:
Medical weight loss can address a variety of conditions that are often linked to or exacerbated by excess weight. These include:
Conditions such as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes can be managed more effectively through a medically supervised weight loss program.
Weight loss can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and hypertension.
Excess weight puts additional strain on joints, leading to conditions like osteoarthritis. Weight loss can alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders can be better managed with weight loss, which helps in balancing hormone levels.
Excess weight is a common cause of obstructive sleep apnea. Weight loss can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea, leading to better sleep quality.
Before seeking professional help, there are several steps you can take at home to kickstart your weight loss journey:
Adopt a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary beverages, and excessive salt intake.
Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help control hunger and support metabolic processes.
Ensure you get adequate sleep each night. Poor sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and appetite, leading to weight gain.
Practice stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises. Stress can lead to emotional eating and weight gain.
