The process starts with an understanding of what dietary changes are necessary, implementing those changes, coupled with simultaneous changes in medications. Close monitoring of weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar are necessary through this process. After your initial weight loss, we’ll help you transition to an active lifestyle and work with you to develop a new diet that you can maintain and enjoy.
