Weight Management Q&A

Weight management focuses on helping you lose excess weight, so you can improve your overall health and lower your risk for weight-related disease.

Sanford Internal Medicine offers medically supervised weight management services to make your weight loss journey more successful. The physicians recommend steps to manage your weight and hold you accountable for your results during routine follow-up appointments.

With the support of the medical staff, you can lose weight safely and learn how to make lifelong changes that make weight maintenance easier.

Carrying excess weight puts pressure on your joints and increases your risk for developing arthritis and chronic joint pain. Your weight also plays a role in your long-term health and puts you at risk for chronic conditions like:

Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Unmanaged weight issues can contribute to a lower quality of life. Some people may be prone to mental health issues, like anxiety and depression, because of excess weight.

You should schedule a weight management consultation at Sanford Internal Medicine if you’re unable to lose weight on your own or if you’re unsure which diet and exercise plan is right for you
