America in an Obesity Crisis/Wegovy

Maryland Primary Care and Wellness in Marlboro, MD, has a successful weight loss program to share. There may be over 200 fad diets today, and few are healthy—for example, the Baby Food Diet. 

While baby food is formulated for babies to provide balanced nutrition, it does not provide the daily nutrients that adults need. Most fad diets are unhealthy. Besides, you cannot stay on a fad diet forever.

*Medically prescribed diets do not count.

Our doctor is passionate about a healthier society through introducing a successful weight loss program that keeps the weight off for life.

Our doctor does an initial physical exam and medication assessment. Initial lab testing will tell him if you have any underlying condition causing you to gain weight, such as but not limited to a thyroid condition.

Our program for weight loss is individualized, sensible, and one that you can consider a lifestyle change. As your weight comes off, you may be able to stop some of your medications.

Approaches we use are,

  • One-on-one support
  • Possible Wegovy Injections
  • Nutritional support
  • Individualized exercise plans
  • Access to certified dietitians and medical assistants
  • Individualized metabolic and exercise 
  • Monthly consultations, check-ins, and group support
  • Continuing education

Once you start losing weight, you feel better and start looking better. Weight loss eases aging and increases self-esteem. You find you have more energy to get through the day. You may add years to your life by eliminating disease risks like diabetes and heart conditions.
