The Benefits of Partnering with a Professional for Weight Loss

With so many methods of weight loss being discussed in the media, it can feel impossible to know which one is appropriate for you. If you’re feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by countless weight loss programs or tips, it’s time to consider working with a medical professional.

RegenMed Health Centers offers personalized medical weight loss support to help you achieve a healthy body weight.

Ellen Lin, MD, and our skilled medical team take weight loss a step further by teaching you how to make sustainable, lifelong changes that support a healthy weight and optimal wellness.

Why a healthy body weight is important

Your weight contributes to many aspects of your current and future wellness. When you carry excess body fat, your risk for chronic illness significantly increases. Being overweight or obese can increase the likelihood of developing conditions like:

• Arthritis
• Dementia
• Type 2 diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Metabolic disorders
• Cardiovascular disease

An unhealthy body weight might also make you more susceptible to mental health issues like depression or emotional challenges like low self-esteem.

Losing even a small percentage of excess fat can restore your energy levels, stabilize your mood, and minimize your risk of chronic disease.  Successful weight loss can also give you a renewed sense of self-confidence and the desire to live a healthier, more active life.

How medical weight loss helps you reach your wellness goals

No two people are built the same, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss. Working with a medical weight loss professional can make a big difference in your weight loss journey and help you achieve your desired weight safely.

RegenMed Centers' weight loss programs focus on your unique health needs and challenges. We consider all of the factors that affect your weight, including your genetics, lifestyle, personal preferences, and medical history.

Dr. Lin also uses advanced biometric Seca® scales to evaluate the percentages of fat, water, muscle, and bone in your body. This helps her understand your health needs from a biological perspective so she can recommend the appropriate weight loss strategies.

In some cases, Dr. Lin might prescribe medications to support fat loss. She can also recommend other medical treatments to address metabolic disease, thyroid disorder, or other medical conditions that can make losing weight difficult.

The path to better health

Once you get started on your weight loss journey, we provide ongoing coaching services and nutritional counseling to support your efforts.

Our team teaches you how to make healthier food choices based on your body type and personal preferences. We also offer insight into the exercises you can do to target fat loss in specific parts of the body.

Recommendations for nutritional supplements are available to optimize your health, boost your immunity, and correct vitamin deficiencies. You can also access personalized women’s and men’s health services to ensure you have what you need to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.
