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.

Medical weight-management program options

The first step in your journey will be to meet with a lifestyle coordinator who will review your medical history and weight-loss goals and discuss our program options.

We offer the following medical weight-management programs, all designed to help you lose weight – and keep it off.

This is a dietitian-led program that focuses on nutrition and behavioral changes along with increased activity to promote weight loss. This program includes:

  • Regular meetings with your dietitian
  • No weight-loss medication
  • Referral to a behavioral health specialist or clinician as appropriate

In this program, you will meet with one of our clinicians (physician or nurse practitioner) to follow a prescribed weight-loss plan that focuses on nutrition and behavioral changes along with increased physical activity. This program includes:

  • Initial history and physical with your clinician
  • Medical follow-up visits
  • Weight-loss medications may be offered

This program is a holistic approach to weight loss where you replace your meals with Bariatric Advantage meal-replacement products while working with weight-loss experts to learn about nutrition and behavior change to improve your health. After 24 weeks in the Change Your Weigh meal-replacement program, participants typically not only lose up to 20 percent of their weight, they also lower their risk for weight-related conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
