Why Our Weight Loss Program Works
Dr. Richardson and his staff’s approach is not a quick fix approach like most fad diets or weight loss pills. Our physician-supervised nonsurgical methods of weight loss and weight control are healthy and effective, while producing sustainable results. Most importantly, you will learn how to permanently keep your weight off.
We take time to find out your specific needs and concerns as it relates to managing your weight, which will be addressed at your initial visit, along with a physical exam and testing. These tests are necessary to identify and address all factors that may be contributing to your excess weight.
You will learn how to implement new healthy behaviors including dietary modifications, exercise, and stress management, so you can understand and learn how you can make healthier choices.
How to Successfully Lose Weight
Your personalized weight loss program will address your specific medical issues, such as diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or low thyroid, and how these conditions may be affecting your goals. We believe healthy weight management is achievable through long-term lifestyle changes in your diet and exercise.
In addition to lifestyle choices, weight gain can often be attributed to hormonal factors. If that’s the case with your situation, you’ll be glad to know that Family Weight & Wellness Clinic and Medi-Spa in Woodlands-Spring, Texas offers effective hormone therapy to help manage your weight.
A dietary plan and meal planning are a big part of achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals. We will advise you about vitamins and supplements, as well as the nutritional value of a healthy diet, helping you better understand how food affects your body.
Developing an exercise routine that you can live with and actively engage in is another important piece of the plan to achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. You will also visit with our weight loss experts on a monthly basis. They will support you and guide you along your journey, as well as provide you with weight management resources so you continue learning.
What to Expect with our Weight Loss Program
One of the most common responses we hear from patients after their initial visit is, “I wish I had started this program sooner!” No matter where you are in your weight loss journey, there is no time like the present to begin. Don't let fear of the unknown keep you from beginning.
At your first visit, you will have a private consultation with a medical professional, along with a screening physical exam. You will undergo important data collection and evaluation such as vital signs, height and weight measurements, a body composition analysis, and an EKG to check your heart for some basic information. Blood work such as a complete blood count (CBC), platelets, chemistry, lipid panel, and thyroid panel will also be performed during this appointment.
The exam and tests are important to determine if there are any underlying medical conditions that could be causing or associated with your weight issue, which we find is most often the case. We will review your medical history and use your testing as a baseline in evaluating you for preexisting conditions and formulating your individualized treatment plan.
