At LVHN, we use a whole-person approach to weight loss, considering your goals, overall health and preferences. Our team of physicians, nurse practitioners, behavioral health specialists, registered dietitians and exercise physiologists develops a customized plan that fits your lifestyle.
Obesity is a disease associated with many health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Losing excess weight not only helps you feel better but also lowers the risks associated with these conditions.
Comprehensive treatment led by a multidisciplinary team of experts
Our team has extensive experience helping people lose weight and keep it off. Our team includes:
- Physicians and nurse practitioners with a specific focus in obesity medicine and weight management.
- Behavioral health specialists to help you change your approach to eating and address the underlying emotional triggers that could be contributing to your relationship with food.
- Registered dietitians who work with you to implement an eating plan that considers your medical history, lifestyle and food preferences.
- Exercise physiologists who create an activity plan to meet your health goals.
Your plan may include a wide range of treatments, including behavior modification, dietary changes and weight-loss medications. Weight loss is not a one-time fix. Our team will be with you for the long term, helping you achieve your ideal health and well-being.
