Weight Loss

At Red River, we believe that it’s not just about the weight you lose but who you become losing that weight.  It takes something to make different choices and assume an active lifestyle which is a key to a successful and fuller life. Since obesity is associated with many life-threatening diseases, we were determined to develop a weight-loss program that was clinically sound, science based, personalized and attainable. The wellness industry can be confusing with many fads that claim to deliver weight-loss results but at what cost?  We are committed to providing a weight management program that was both achievable and fun, combining clinically effective components with personalized plans that deliver results.

If you struggle with fatigue, high blood pressure, or other disease risk factors because of your weight, see the experts at Red River Family Clinic. Our skilled team offer medically supervised weight loss solutions that help you obtain a healthy weight, feel better, and minimize your risk of chronic diseases.

What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss consists of medical supervision and a safe, effective weight loss program. The program includes customized meal and exercise plans, weight loss medications if necessary, and other methods that help you move toward a target body weight without feeling hungry. 

The Red River Family Clinic team is highly trained in weight loss. They personalize a plan based on your lifestyle, food preferences, medical history, and goals.

Who benefits from medical weight loss?

Anyone with a body mass index (BMI) in the overweight or obese category is a candidate for medically supervised weight loss at Red River Family Clinic. 

If you can’t lose weight on your own and struggle with hormone imbalance, hunger, or a chronic disease, the specialists offer solutions that boost your chance of long-term success.

The advantages of medical weight loss include a lower risk of chronic diseases, better disease management, more energy, friendly care, self-confidence, and exceptional outcomes. 

Which medical weight loss program is best for me?

Before customizing a medical weight loss plan, the Red River Family Clinic team weighs you, evaluates your BMI, and checks your blood pressure and other vital signs.

They discuss your medical history, medications, typical diet and exercise patterns, and more. You might need blood testing to screen for nutrient deficiencies, chronic disease risk factors, or hormone irregularities.

Your provider tailors a program based on your health, initial body weight, and goals.

What happens during medical weight loss?

Your medical weight loss program may consist of:

• Custom meal plans
• Exercise prescriptions
• Dietary supplements
• Lifestyle coaching
• Weight loss medications
• Chronic disease management 

Your provider teaches you ways to make behavior changes that help reduce food intake, burn more calories, and boost your metabolism without feeling deprived.

They follow up in person or virtually from the comfort of your home to ensure the weight loss plan is effective. Your provider alters it as needed to ensure long-lasting success.

Follow your weight loss plan as directed and call the office at any time with questions throughout your journey.
