What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical Weight Loss is a physician-supervised program that uses scientific, individualized methods to help you lose weight and improve your overall health. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, medical weight loss focuses on identifying the root causes of weight gain—such as hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, stress, and lifestyle factors—and treating them through a tailored plan.
At Biosymmetry Wilmington, we use evidence-based strategies, nutritional counseling, prescription medications (when appropriate), and lifestyle guidance to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss. Our holistic approach ensures you not only lose weight but also improve your energy, mood, and metabolic health.
How Medical Weight Loss Works
Your Medical Weight Loss journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and diagnostic evaluation. We assess your body composition, hormone levels, metabolic rate, and lifestyle habits to identify the underlying factors contributing to weight gain. Based on these findings, we design a personalized plan that may include:
- Customized Nutrition Plans – Balanced, nutrient-rich meal plans tailored to your body’s needs.
- Medications or Peptide Therapies – When appropriate, FDA-approved medications or peptides to support metabolism, appetite control, and fat loss.
- Hormone Optimization – Restoring hormonal balance to improve energy, reduce cravings, and enhance fat metabolism.
- Lifestyle Coaching – Guidance on exercise, stress management, and sleep to support long-term success.
Our team monitors your progress closely, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure safe, steady, and lasting results.
