Why should I seek medical weight loss? 

When you’re overweight or obese, you’re at a greater risk of certain health problems. These include:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Arthritis
  • Depression
  • High cholesterol

Losing even a small amount of weight can improve health markers. 

 What medical weight loss services do you offer? 

The weight loss and management support offered by Dr. Hu helps people who struggle with losing and keeping weight off on their own. As many as 90% of people regain weight after “dieting” to lose weight.  Dr. Hu offers the following tools to help you lose weight:

  • FDA approved weight loss medication based on candidacy 
  • Nutrition guidance
  • Exercise recommendations
  • Lifestyle counseling
  • Accountability and psychological support

You also receive medical supervision during the weight loss process. This is especially important if you have chronic conditions, like diabetes, that have treatment plans. Dr. Hu can adjust your medication dosages and other therapies as you lose weight.

Why should I seek medical weight loss? 

If you have body weight and body composition goals, you can benefit from the medical weight loss services offered by Dr. Hu. Losing weight and improving your nutrition can also lead to the following:

  • Less chronic pain
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved sleep
  • Better mood

Medical weight loss can also help you avoid developing a chronic condition or, if you already suffer one, reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Weight loss reduces your reliance on medication to manage your disease.  Call the office at Regenics Prime to receive customized, attentive weight-loss services.
