- Enhances Metabolic Function: Weight loss can improve insulin sensitivity, aiding in better blood sugar control and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.

- Boosts Energy Levels: Weight loss can enhance cardiovascular health and reduce fatigue, leading to increased energy and motivation throughout the day.
- Improves Sleep Quality: Achieving a healthy weight can alleviate conditions like sleep apnea, leading to better sleep quality and overall well-being.
Who is eligible for medical weight loss programs?
Candidates typically include individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher accompanied by obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for weight loss medications?
Eligibility for weight loss medications is determined based on your BMI, medical history, and current health conditions. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to assess potential benefits and risks.
