Medical Weight Management

Medical Weight Management Built Around the Patient

​Weight is influenced by physiology, medical conditions, medications, sleep, nutrition, activity, stress and the surrounding environment. Andelanda MD provides physician-guided weight-management care designed to identify relevant contributors and create a realistic long-term plan.

Your Initial Assessment May Include

  • Weight and health history

  • Previous weight-management attempts

  • Current nutrition and physical activity

  • Sleep and stress

  • Medication review

  • Medical and family history

  • Blood-pressure and metabolic-risk assessment

  • Laboratory testing when indicated

  • Review of potential treatment options

Treatment May Include

  • Nutrition and behavioral recommendations

  • Activity and resistance-training guidance

  • Sleep and recovery strategies

  • Management of contributing medical conditions

  • Medication options may include FDA-approved GLP-1 or other anti-obesity medications when medically appropriate

  • Monitoring of treatment response and side effects 

  • Referral may be recommended when concern falls outside the practice's scope

Prescription Medication

Prescription weight-management medication is considered only after medical evaluation. Selection depends on the patient’s indication, health history, contraindications, product availability, cost, preferences and clinical judgment.

What We Do Not Promise

Andelana MD does not promise a specific number of pounds lost, permanent results, access to a particular medication or eligibility for medication treatment.
