Weight Management
Safe, effective weight loss
Weight management is an individualized, medically supervised program for anyone interested in safe, effective weight loss. Led by specialized, experienced providers, our team is here to help you achieve lasting success.
You’ll receive a care plan tailored to your medical needs and personal goals. We base every treatment on the latest scientific evidence, so you’ll benefit from proven strategies.
Conditions we treat
People who are overweight or have obesity may qualify for our weight management services. We recognize that obesity is not the result of poor food choices or lack of exercise alone. It’s a complex disease resulting from an interaction among genetic, biological, behavioral, social, economic and cultural factors.
Obesity can increase your risk of multiple chronic health conditions, including:
- Asthma
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Liver disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
Weight loss treatments
Research shows that losing even 5-10% of your body weight can improve your overall health and lower your risk factors for chronic disease. We’re here with a range of interventions to help you maintain a healthy weight for the long term. Your care may include diet and exercise recommendations, counseling to implement lifestyle changes, medications or bariatric surgery, when appropriate.
What you’ll find at Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic
You have access to a comprehensive range of weight loss treatments delivered by a compassionate, caring team. Highlights of our program include:
Personalized approach
People gain weight for many different reasons, and a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t effective. Instead, we use evidence-based treatments to personalize your care.
Specialized providers
Our board-certified physicians have special training in weight loss treatment. Our team also includes dietitians who provide nutrition counseling and motivational support to help you implement lifestyle changes.
Covered services
Most major insurance carriers cover our weight management services so you can get affordable care.
Focus on lasting change
We aim to help you achieve slow, progressive weight loss over several months. Research shows that this type of weight loss carries fewer health risks and is easier to maintain than rapid changes.
