What is weight management?

Weight management at Elite Premier Medical Care Plus involves customized weight loss plans tailored to your lifestyle, medical history, and weight loss goals. Dr. Revoredo is with you every step of the way throughout your weight loss journey to ensure long-lasting success. He personalizes a plan based on your unique needs.

Why is nutrition important?

Getting the essential nutrients you require daily is essential for proper body function. While it’s best to get the majority of these nutrients from foods, many Americans consume prepackaged, processed foods that are nutritionally deficient. They eat excess amounts of refined grains, processed meats, or added sugars but lack enough fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods. 

Unhealthy eating habits can lead to nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, obesity, and obesity-related chronic diseases. Dr. Revoredo can help you alter your diet to include more nutrient-dense foods and fewer empty calories. 

Why is healthy weight management important?

Achieving an ideal body weight reduces your risk of common health concerns, including:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Heart disease
• Gallstones
• Arthritis 
• Sleep apnea
• Asthma
• Infertility
• Certain cancers
• Depression

Fewer chronic conditions means lower medical costs, less time spent seeing doctors, and a longer life expectancy.

What are the benefits of weight management?

Achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight provides the following health benefits and more:

• Reduced chronic disease risks 
• Improved disease management
• Lower need to take medications
• Mood improvements
• More energy
• Better hormone balance
• Improved sleep
• Enhanced quality of life

A healthy body weight maximizes your physical and mental well-being, allowing you to look your best, feel better, and gain self-confidence.

What does medical weight management include?

Medical weight management with Dr. Revoredo begins with an initial evaluation of your body weight, body mass index (BMI), vital signs, medical history, medications, and lifestyle habits.
