Managing chronic obesity requires a toolbox approach, combining education, medical treatment, personalized referrals, and ongoing support. At Phoenix Metabolic Health, our focus is on sustainable, science-backed obesity treatment strategies designed for long-term success rather than temporary fixes.
Education: Understanding Your Health and Options

Learn about obesity as a chronic disease and understand its impact on your health and daily life.
Set realistic weight loss goals, celebrate progress, and explore treatment options that align with your lifestyle.
Recognize that setbacks are normal; progress may fluctuate but is always possible with consistent effort.
Receive nutritional education on reading food labels, mastering portion control, and developing healthy eating habits.
Access physical activity strategies tailored for effective weight management.
Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Receive an official diagnosis of obesity, taking into account medical history, lifestyle, metabolism, hormones, and any co-occurring conditions.
Identify and address both modifiable and non-modifiable causes of chronic obesity for a comprehensive approach.
Analyze your weight history, acknowledging both past successes and challenges.
Access a range of obesity treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, behavioral therapy, anti-obesity medications, and bariatric surgery when appropriate.
Benefit from post-surgical support and medication therapy to help maintain weight loss.
Address related conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, or metabolic disorders to enhance your overall quality of life.
Attend regular follow-ups, with frequent visits during the first year and ongoing check-ins to support continued success.
Referrals and Support: A Whole-Person Approach
Connect with specialized care, including mental health support, physical therapy, and exercise physiology.
Receive assistance with social and financial needs, such as Medicaid and Medicare applications, nutrition assistance, and housing resources.
Join community support groups for accountability, encouragement, and shared experiences.
Obtain personalized physical activity and nutrition recommendations, respecting your abilities, preferences, and cultural background.
Setting Realistic Weight Loss Goals
Aim for a 7-10% reduction in body weight over six months to significantly improve your overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Focus on sustainable weight loss, as gradual progress is more effective for long-term weight management.
Understand that weight naturally fluctuates; consider waist circumference or clothing size as alternative measures of success.
