What are the benefits of weight loss?

Your weight plays a vital role in your overall health. If you’re overweight or obese, you may develop mobility issues, chronic pain, and self-confidence problems. You may also be at increased risk for chronic health issues like:

• Stroke
• Cancer
• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart diseases
• High cholesterol
• Osteoarthritis
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Montclair Concierge Medicine provides medically supervised weight loss plans for adolescents and adults. Dr. DiStefano customizes weight loss strategies you can use to achieve a healthy body weight and reduce your risk factors for chronic disease and pain.

Available weight loss solutions are part of the concierge medicine services. For a flat-rate membership fee, you can access a range of tools and resources that help you keep the weight off for good.

When should I schedule a weight loss consultation?

You should schedule a weight loss consultation at Montclair Concierge Medicine if you can’t lose weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Weight loss can become more difficult as you age because of how your body stores fat. Women and men with hormone imbalances may struggle to shed excess pounds, even with a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. DiStefano can provide the supportive resources you need to achieve your weight loss goals. She can also help you find the weight loss solutions that work best for you based on your age, medical history, and existing health.

What can I expect during a weight loss program?

During your initial consultation at Montclair Concierge Medicine, Dr. DiStefano evaluates your overall health during a physical exam. She may also order blood work to identify underlying health issues interfering with weight loss success.

Your weight loss plan may include strategies like:

• Daily exercise
• Meal plans
• Nutritional counseling
• Medications

Dr. DiStefano can also address existing health issues that make weight loss more difficult. For instance, she can recommend hormone replacement therapy to boost your metabolism if you have a hormone imbalance.

Dr. DiStefano schedules routine weigh-ins at the office to keep you accountable for achieving your weight loss milestones. She tracks your progress and helps you set new goals on your weight loss journey.

You can also access resources that support your long-term weight loss success and maintain your results for a lifetime.
