What is weight management?
Weight management is a medically supervised program that helps you lose weight and keep it off. Panacea Behavioral Health & Wellness Center offers a holistic weight management program that supports weight loss while caring for your overall health.
Why should I consider weight management?
You should consider weight management if you’ve never dieted before or if you’ve tried but didn’t reach your goal or regained the pounds. Why? Because you’re more likely to achieve long-lasting success when you work with a program and a team.
Weight management also protects your health. Excessive weight raises your risk for chronic health conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Fatty liver disease
- Kidney disease
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Carrying extra weight also increases the chances of developing 13 types of cancer.
How does weight management support my success?
Losing weight follows a seemingly simple formula: limit your calories and increase your activity level. But that’s not always enough. Many other issues can sabotage your hard work, and weight management helps you overcome those challenges with:
Whole-person care
Having a physical exam before starting a weight loss program is important. In addition to identifying existing conditions needing attention, your exam reveals problems affecting your ability to lose weight, like hormone imbalances and nutrient deficiencies.
Emotional and behavioral support
The Panacea Behavioral Health & Wellness Center team specializes in providing emotional and behavioral support for issues hindering weight loss.
For example, many people turn to food when stressed or default to fast food after working overtime.
It’s hard to recognize and change these behaviors without help from the team because sabotaging behaviors are often ingrained habits you’re not aware of.
Encouraging team
The team holds you accountable for reaching your goals and, most importantly, offers encouragement and motivation. A caring weight loss team is the key to weight loss success.
