Medical Weight loss
It's not a fair fight. Medication can level the playing field.
Obesity is the #1 health problem in the US
Obesity is a metabolic disease that creates more problems that just excess weight. Heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and arthritis are all linked directly to the same metabolic condition that leads to obesity.
Everyone says to "diet and exercise," but for millions, diet and exercise have never solved the problem. Obesity is not just a "will power" problem. Obesity is metabolic disease. When your body starts to lose weight, hormones are released that increase hunger. It's not a fair fight.
Fortunately, there are now several medications that can help. Older medications like phentermine and the newer GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) have helped millions lose weight and regain their health.
At Big Tree, we consider obesity just another chronic disease to be managed as a part of the relationship you have with your primary care provider. Unlike Telehealth weight loss clinics, you will have a video or in person visit with a primary care provider who will get to know your individual health needs and preferences. We prescribe custom weight loss solutions that considers all aspects of your health, including your goals, your tolerance of side effects and the other medication conditions you are dealing with.
Medication for weight loss is generally indicated for patients with a Body Mass Index over 30mg/kg2 or above 27mg/kg2 with certain risk factors.
