We work with you in a compassionate, and shame-free manner
Weight Loss at Upper Echelon
At our weight loss clinic, our philosophy is grounded in comprehensive patient education and routine check-ups, ensuring each individual is well-informed and supported throughout their journey. We emphasize the importance of understanding nutrition, lifestyle impacts, and the science behind weight loss, providing a robust foundation for making sustainable health decisions. Regular check-ups reinforce this educational approach, allowing our physicians to monitor progress, celebrate milestones, and adjust strategies to meet ongoing needs.
At our weight loss clinic, patients can explore weight loss in a warm, encouraging, and non-judgmental environment. We prioritize a shame-free and blame-free atmosphere where setbacks are met with compassion and understanding. Our physicians and staff are committed to offering open, welcoming, and empathetic coaching, creating a supportive space where patients feel comfortable expressing concerns and asking questions. This blend of encouragement, routine medical oversight, and an empathetic approach ensures that our patients not only achieve their weight loss goals but also feel valued and understood every step of the way.
Our approach to Weight Loss
1.
Health Evaluation
First, we check your health for underlying problems that could affect your ability to lose weight. Hormonal problems like hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) can make you gain weight and prevent you from losing it despite diet and exercise efforts. Ruling these conditions out is vital to ensuring there are no covert issues hindering your success.
For patients who are interested, we also offer an iDXA body scan that details your body’s fat and muscle composition to serve as a helpful starting point in your weight loss journey.
1.
Education
We provide you with all the information and support you need to lose weight steadily and keep it off. As part of our educational approach, we provide dietary advice, help you understand the science behind weight loss and metabolism, recommend exercise routines you can stick to, and encourage you to stick with regular checkups on your progress and to celebrate milestones.
1.
Medication
In certain cases, we also provide prescriptions to help with our patients’ weight loss. This could include medication such as semaglutide or Ozempic to help control appetite and facilitate weight loss.
