Medical Weight Loss vs. Regular Weight Loss | NAWI Naples Wellness Center

March 16, 2023

You have likely tried a range of traditional weight loss programs, only to feel like you have wasted your time. Typical weight loss methods are not designed for a specific user and do not take into account your body type, metabolism, or appetite. If you have tried numerous weight loss treatments and still feel unhappy with the results, we have the perfect solution for you! At NAWI Wellness Center in Naples, FL, we offer a range of medical weight loss services. Medical weight loss is growing in popularity due to the nature of the process and the highly effective results it produces. If you want to know more about the weight loss management programs we offer, call us to schedule a consultation.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

If you are not familiar with the term ‘medical weight loss’ you may feel intimidated by the idea. Understanding what it is and how it works can help you to benefit from it. Medical weight loss is the process of losing body mass with the guidance of a healthcare professional. We create a realistic and customized treatment plan for you to lose weight under your unique circumstances. We don’t stop there. After you have achieved your desired weight, we help you to stay in shape.

Unlike traditional weight loss programs that depend on your ability to commit and follow through, medical weight management offers support throughout the whole process. Your first step towards your goals is an initial consultation.

During this consultation, we will learn more about your areas of concern and discuss your desired goals. This will help us design a treatment plan that suits your lifestyle and unique needs.

The second phase of the process is behavior modification. Changing your behavior is one of the most effective methods to lose weight. You will gain weight when you take in more energy than your body needs. Weight loss occurs when you use more energy than you consume. The goal of this phase is to adjust your key behaviors that influence eating habits and activity levels.

The third step towards achieving your goals is through weight loss medication. Weight loss medication helps your body to burn extra energy quicker. Weight loss medication will complement your weight loss diet and exercise plan rather than replace it. We will monitor the use of medication throughout your weight loss journey and ensure that you benefit from it.

How Does It Differ From Regular Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a highly effective way to lose weight. It has a higher success rate than regular weight loss methods. Here are a few reasons to consider medical weight loss:

Professional Planning

A trained physician will create a weight loss plan unique to your needs.

Patient-Focused

Your personalized plan will fit your particular goals, preferences, and lifestyle to help you be more successful.

Easy to Follow

Because the treatment plan is unique, it will be easier to commit to and follow through with, resulting in your goals being achieved.

Support

The NAWI team will support you through the whole process, from creating a treatment plan to monitoring your progress and results. This means that you have professional medical advice at your fingertips.

Medical Weight Loss Solutions

Semaglutide

We offer injections for weight loss, including Semaglutide. This is effective when combined with a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet. This injectable provides results within the first two weeks after the initial injection.

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved hormone that alters your appetite and digestion. It is naturally released by your body after you have eaten. Additional injections of this hormone slows the rate of digestion and tells your body that you are full, reducing your appetite and calorie intake, which results in weight loss.

UltraSlim

UltraSlim offers rapid fat loss after just one treatment session. It is FDA-approved for body contouring. The results you can achieve with UltraSlim are more dramatic than alternative treatments. A great advantage is that there is no downtime or invasive incisions.

UltraSlim utilizes red light to tell your body to release stored fat cells. This treatment is highly effective and very quick. Within a few days of using UltraSlim, your lymphatic system will start to flush out the fat cells, resulting in weight loss.

Medical Weight Loss for Effective and Healthy Weight Control at NAWi Wellness in Naples

This is a post to help answer the question, “what is medical weight loss?” We hope that you find it interesting and informative.

Many people come to NAWI feeling like they have already tried everything to lose their stubborn weight. For these patients, diet, exercise, pills, and fads have done nothing to shed the weight. At NAWI Wellness Center, our medical weight loss program helps patients finally be able to control their weight. With our gentle treatments, we can help to get you back on the path of weight loss without the frustration of tedious and difficult programs that don’t yield results.

Why is Weight Loss So Difficult?

Many people think of weight loss as simply a matter of exercising more and eating less. However, the topic is much more complex. Many different issues can lead to weight gain. Medical problems, imbalances of the hormones that regulate appetite, genetic predisposition, and more can all contribute to a person’s weight gain. Because of this, weight loss can be frustrating. Even on the weeks when a patient has the ability to perfectly follow a strict diet and exercise plan, the results can be incredibly disappointing.

In situations where an individual is experiencing health problems as a result of weight and they are struggling to lose weight, it can be helpful to seek the advice and assistance of a medical professional who specializes in weight loss. At NAWI Wellness, we feel that the best way to get the results you are looking for is to ask us for help and allow us to find the right solution for you.

NAWI Offers Several Treatment Options

The NAWI team doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss. Because there are so many different reasons why weight gain may have occurred, there needs to be just as many ways of approaching the situation. That is why we offer customized weight loss management programs for each individual. In many cases, we can combine our treatments with non-invasive body sculpting and skin tightening treatments to help give you a more youthful appearance.

Semaglutide Weight Loss Treatments

Semaglutide is a type of weight loss injection that can help bring you down to your target weight and jumpstart a healthier lifestyle. The main ingredient in these injections is semaglutide, which is a hormone that is similar to one naturally found in the body. This hormone helps to increase insulin production which, in turn, leads to a decreased appetite. When using this medication, you will feel full after a small meal. As you lose weight, you will feel more energetic.

With semaglutide treatments, you can lose an average of 15% of your body weight and results can begin appearing after two weeks of treatment. At our office, we will help you combine these treatments with a healthy lifestyle to help you maintain weight loss.

UltraSlim Red Light Treatment

UltraSlim is a pain-free and non-invasive weight loss treatment that can help you quickly lose inches off of your waistline in just one session. The UltraSlim device uses red light therapy to help your body shed fat. During treatment, you will relax under the device while it penetrates into the fat layer of the skin. This light penetration is extremely superficial, making it a safer option than many other body contouring devices.

Once in your skin, the red light causes fat cells to empty out their contents. Your body then excretes it through bowel movements or urination during the next few days. In just one session, clients can lose 1 liter or more of fat which can amount to 3.5” from their waistline. You can see results right away and these results can continue as your body continues to eliminate the fatty tissues that have been released from your cells.

HCG Diet Weight Loss

HCG Diet Weight Loss Treatment is a very effective weight loss program with an average loss of ½ lb to 1 lb per day. You’ll have decreased hunger and an increased metabolism with no loss of muscle. The HCG diet protocol works by telling the hypothalamus to release your stored body fat. A daily small amount of HCG hormone can cause your stored body fat to be released. This diet is effective for everyone!

The Importance of Qualified Medical Personnel

When you are considering weight loss injections, diet plans, or any other type of weight loss program, it is essential to consult your doctor, develop a healthy and effective plan, and then make sure that any medications are prescribed to you and administered by a licensed medical professional.
