Metabolic Weight Loss

Baptist Metabolic Weight Loss provides medical weight management therapies for patients seeking to achieve weight loss goals and optimize overall health. Our non-surgical weight management techniques offer patients a comprehensive, individualized care plan in a comfortable and welcoming setting. We use evidence-based, FDA-approved weight loss solutions to get you on the road to better health.

Weight loss looks different for everyone, but your care plan may include:

• Evaluation of underlying conditions - There are a range of conditions that can contribute to weight gain. We can evaluate these conditions and work with your existing health care providers to help manage them.
• Weight loss medications - We provide access to FDA-approved medications like GLP-1s and can help you decide which medication is right to help manage obesity-related conditions.
• Medication optimization - Some medications can contribute to weight gain or make losing weight difficult. We review medication lists for potential adjustments that may help you achieve and sustain your weight loss goals.
• Behavioral therapy - Licensed clinical psychologists with Baptist Behavioral Health can help you develop healthy coping strategies for mindful eating, provide behavior modification and goal-setting support as you develop nutritional and exercise goals. They can address common challenges to weight loss success, like disorganized or disordered eating habits, emotional eating, negative self-talk, body image issues, anxiety and depression.
• Nutritional counseling - Baptist Health’s registered dietitians help you develop personalized eating plans based on your goals and preferences, setting you up for long-term success.
• Health coaching - Baptist Health wellness coaches provide ongoing support to ensure you stick to your weight management plan between visits.
• Body composition scans - Advanced body composition analysis provides valuable data beyond just weight, like muscle mass and body fat percentage, to monitor changes for optimal health and wellness.
• Connection to bariatric surgery - For some patients, weight loss surgery is the best option for long-term success. We can discuss medical and surgical weight loss options with patients and mutually decide the best approach. Patients who are interested and eligible for bariatric surgery will experience a smooth transition to our surgical program and continue to work with the same team of experts throughout the weight loss journey.
• Support for bariatric surgery patients - Our clinic works closely with Baptist Health’s bariatric surgery program, providing long-term follow-up care for vitamin deficiencies, inadequate weight loss and other support after weight loss surgery.
