• Stimulating insulin release to regulate blood sugar.
• Reducing appetite and food cravings by acting on the brain's appetite centers. 

Medical Weight Loss is a professionally supervised fitness and nutrition program designed to help you shed pounds once and for all. If you’ve tried various diets and exercise trends, but still struggle to achieve (or maintain) your ideal weight, a Medically Supervised Program can help.

Being overweight increases your risk of more serious health conditions, including:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Stroke
• Certain types of cancer
• Arthritis

Being overweight can also affect your mental health. One systematic review even found a correlation between depression and obesity. 

At Coastal Primary Care, medical weight loss involves three things:

Your diet directly affects your energy levels and metabolism. Eating a healthy, balanced diet that consists primarily of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins can help you stay on track. Dr. Rezai can even make meal and snack recommendations that align with your age, health, and fitness level.

To lose weight and keep it off, you need to exercise. Even if you aren’t a fan of the gym, Dr. Rezai can help you find activities that keep you moving. That might mean biking, swimming, hiking, or playing organized sports with friends.

If diet and exercise aren’t enough to help you reach your weight loss goals, Dr. Rezai might recommend medications or weight loss injections. Certain medications can reduce your appetite and increase your Basal Metabolic Rate (so you burn more calories even while just sitting).

Anyone who wants to achieve a healthier weight can benefit from the Medical Weight Loss Program at Coastal Primary Care. This is especially true if you’re living with any underlying health conditions which are exacerbated by weight issues, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease or pain in weight bearing joints (i.e., back pain, knee pain). 

Working with an experienced physician like Dr. Rezai can help you live a healthier life. It can also provide the education you need to achieve difficult goals and long-term well-being.
