Obesity is a chronic medical condition, not a lack of willpower. For many people, nutrition and exercise alone are not enough because biology, hormones, and genetics also play a role. Just like we use medications to treat blood pressure or diabetes, weight loss medications can be a safe and effective tool to support long-term health.
Medications
How Weight Loss Medications Work?
FDA-approved obesity medications can help by:
Reducing appetite and cravings
Helping you feel full sooner and longer
Supporting healthier eating habits
Counteracting the body’s natural drive to regain lost weight.
When combined with lifestyle and behavioral support, these medications can lead to safe, sustainale results.
Who May Benefit from Obesity Medications?
Who may be a candidate if:
Your BMI is 30 or higher, or
Your BMI is 27 or higher with a weight related condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or other medical conditions.
Lifestyle changes alone have not led to desired results.
Types of Weight Loss Medications
There are several categories of medications that support weight management.
GLP-1 medications (help regulate appetite, fullness, and blood sugar)
Combination medications (target hunger and cravings from multiple angles)
Other FDA-approved options (considered based on your health profile)
