Lifestyle Changes
Making healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a balanced diet and getting regular physical activity, is the most effective way to lose weight and maintain weight loss over the long term. Your healthcare provider at Digestive & Liver Health Specialists can help you develop a personalized plan that takes into account your needs and goals.
Over-The-Counter Weight Loss Supplements
There are many over-the-counter weight loss supplements available, but their effectiveness and safety are often unclear. These supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the same way that prescription medications are, which means that they may contain unproven ingredients or unsafe levels of certain nutrients. In some cases, these supplements have been found to contain hidden ingredients that are not listed on the label, including prescription medications or controlled substances. It is generally best to avoid over-the-counter weight loss supplements and to talk to your healthcare provider at Digestive & Liver Health Specialists before taking any supplements.
Prescription Weight Loss Medications
Our practice offers patients both Wegovy and Ozempic for weight loss. These medications can help you lose weight by decreasing your appetite, increasing your metabolism, or inhibiting the absorption of fat. These medications can be effective, but they are not suitable for everyone and may have potential side effects. It is important to work with your healthcare provider at Digestive & Liver Health Specialists to determine which prescription weight loss medications are appropriate for you and to monitor your progress and any potential side effects.
