What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a comprehensive, physician-supervised program designed to help you lose weight safely and effectively.


Unlike generic diets, medical weight loss focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of weight gain. Your program is tailored specifically to your body, metabolism, medical history, and lifestyle. At Nova Physician Wellness Center, your plan may include a combination of:



The goal is not just weight loss—but long-term health improvement and disease prevention.

Health Risks Associated with Excess Weight

Obesity and excess weight can significantly increase your risk of serious health conditions.


These may include:


  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Fatty liver disease
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Certain cancers


Excess weight places added strain on your body, impacting your organs, metabolism, and overall quality of life. A medically supervised program can help reduce these risks while improving your overall well-being.

What’s Included in a Medical Weight Loss Program?

Your program is designed specifically for you, but typically includes:


Nutrition Guidance

You’ll receive a personalized meal plan focused on whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and support weight loss.


Exercise Planning

Your provider will recommend an exercise program based on your fitness level and goals to support fat loss and overall health.

Addressing emotional and behavioral patterns is essential for long-term success. You’ll learn strategies to manage cravings, stress, habits, triggers, and emotional eating behaviors. Nova Physician Wellness Center also offers regular visits with behavioral health providers, many of which are covered by insurance, to help support long-term weight maintenance and sustainable lifestyle change.


Medical Therapies

When appropriate, your provider may recommend medications, including GLP-1 therapies, to help regulate appetite, improve metabolism, and support weight loss.


Ongoing Support & Monitoring

Regular follow-ups ensure your progress is tracked and your plan is adjusted as needed.
