About This Service

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most impactful steps you can take to reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, joint disease, and many cancers. At RASMED Clinic, our physician-supervised weight loss programs are grounded in medical science — not fad diets or one-size-fits-all plans. We take a comprehensive approach that addresses the biological, behavioral, and lifestyle factors that contribute to weight gain. Your weight loss journey begins with a thorough medical evaluation including labs, body composition assessment, and a review of medications that may be contributing to weight gain. We then develop a personalized plan that combines evidence-based dietary guidance, physical activity recommendations, behavioral counseling, and — where clinically appropriate — FDA-approved prescription medications for weight management. We monitor your progress at regular intervals, adjust your plan as needed, and address medical complications as they arise. For patients with obesity-related conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or joint disease, our treatment approach is designed to improve your overall metabolic health — not just the number on the scale.
