Weight Loss
What are the benefits of weight loss?
The team at Optimal Performance Medicine gets excited when patients come to the office motivated to make the changes necessary to create better health. If you’re overweight or obese, you’re at greater risk of developing chronic health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Losing weight reduces your risk and helps you get off the medication you take to control these health conditions.
Other benefits of weight loss include:
- Less joint pain
- Better sleep
- Boost in self-confidence
- More energy
- Lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure numbers
Not to mention, you may fit into your favorite pair of jeans again.
What type of diet do I need to follow to lose weight?
The team at Optimal Performance Medicine sees the role good nutrition plays in health and wellness. While you may think of a restrictive diet that cuts out all your favorite foods, the team is more focused on helping you understand how much you benefit by including more nutrient-rich foods in your diet.
Your weight-loss diet includes a variety of foods from all the food groups so that your body gets the nutrients it needs to function at its best and improve overall health. Additionally, many of these healthy foods contain nutrients, such as protein and fiber, that help you feel full so you don’t ever feel deprived.
Do I need to exercise for weight loss?
Exercise is an important component of any good weight-loss plan. Your specialist at Optimal Performance Medicine creates an exercise program that suits your fitness level and lifestyle. Exercise is especially important for long-term weight control.
What can I expect from a health coach?

He is currently developing a program to help you get the support and guidance you need to create that healthy life you crave.
