One of the primary benefits of medical weight loss is the customized nature of the treatment plans. At Gard Wellness Solutions, our team of highly qualified physician assistants and medical assistants work closely with each patient to develop a plan that suits their specific needs and lifestyle.
Medical weight loss programs are conducted under the supervision of healthcare professionals, ensuring that all aspects of the patientâs health are considered. This includes regular monitoring of vital signs, lab tests, and adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.
Unlike quick-fix diets, medical weight loss focuses on long-term success. The goal is not just to lose weight but to maintain a healthy weight over time. This is achieved through a combination of nutritional guidance, physical activity, and behavioral changes.
Patients receive ongoing support from a team of experts, including nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, and psychological support. This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of the patientâs well-being are addressed.

Before seeking professional help, there are several steps you can take at home to kickstart your weight loss journey:
Keep a food diary to track what you eat and identify areas for improvement. Focus on consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Incorporate regular exercise into your routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days a week.
Drinking plenty of water can help control hunger and support overall health. Aim for at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day.
Lack of sleep can interfere with weight loss efforts by affecting hormones that regulate hunger and appetite. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Stress can lead to emotional eating and weight gain. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
