Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Obesity

Effective obesity treatment takes a toolbox approach, offering a combination of education, medical treatment, referrals, and support tailored to each individual's needs. Phoenix Metabolic Health focuses on long-term, science-backed solutions—not quick fixes.

Education: Understanding Your Health and Options

📚 Learn about obesity as a chronic disease and what it means for your health.

🎯 Set realistic goals, celebrate progress, and explore treatment options that fit your lifestyle.

🔄 Understand that setbacks are normal and part of the process—progress isn’t always linear.

🥗 Receive ongoing nutritional education to help you make informed choices, including reading food labels, portion control, and effective physical activity strategies.

Diagnosis and Treatment: A Personalized Approach

✔️ Official diagnosis of obesity, considering medical history, lifestyle, and contributing factors.

✔️ Recognition and treatment of modifiable and nonmodifiable causes, such as metabolism, hormones, and co-occurring conditions.

✔️ Comprehensive weight history analysis—acknowledging both successes and challenges.

✔️ Treatment options tailored to you, including lifestyle modifications, behavioral therapy, anti-obesity medications, and bariatric surgery when necessary.

✔️ Post-surgical support, including medication therapy for weight maintenance.

✔️ Addressing co-occurring conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, or metabolic disorders to improve quality of life.

✔️ Regular follow-ups—frequent visits in the first year and ongoing check-ins 2-4 times per year to ensure continued success.

Referrals and Support: A Whole-Person Approach

🔹 Access to specialized care, including mental health, physical therapy, and exercise physiology.

🔹 Social and financial assistance—help with Medicaid/Medicare applications, nutrition assistance, and housing support.

🔹 Community resources and support groups to build a network of encouragement and accountability.

🔹 Customized physical activity and dietary recommendations based on your abilities, preferences, and cultural background.

Setting Realistic Weight Loss Goals

Achieving 7-10% weight loss over six months can significantly improve overall health and reduce the risk of chronic conditions.

🏆 Sustainable weight loss is key—slow and steady progress is the most effective way to reach and maintain your goal.

⚖️ Weight fluctuates naturally (by about 5 lbs at any time), so waist circumference or clothing size may be a more accurate measure of success than just the scale.
