Jackson Medical Specialists | Comprehensive Pain Management Clinic
Jackson Medical Specialists we are focused on medically managing weight loss. This means we believe there is much more to your weight than your habits, such as biology, comorbid conditions, environment, and genetics. The vast majority of the weight loss industry is focused solely on behavior changes for weight loss, despite proven research that shows poor success with that approach. They often leave you feeling like your weight status is due to an inability to control eating or laziness, or both. This is not true! Research shows that on average there is only about 5-7% weight lost with behavior changes, and it often ends up with weight regain and/or weight cycling, frustration, stigma, and ultimately long-term poor health outcomes. Jackson Medical Specialists takes a fresh approach to an old problem: overweight and obesity are medical conditions that warrant medications for management. ?
Our focus is on specific care areas and we offer a personalized approach to each of our patients. At Jackson Medical Specialists, you'll be on a first-name basis with our providers and never feel like a number. You won't get lost in a phone tree or automation. We value you as an individual and strive to deliver customized care for your particular needs.
We take a medical approach to your weight loss, which means we will start with a medical history and blood work. This will identify possible reasons for weight gain, such as a thyroid problem or male/ female hormone imbalances, and also clarify if there are any medication choices that won't be right for you. The medication chosen for your weight loss program will be based on your eating habits (i.e. are you a carb lover or a meat eater), your eating patterns (i.e. are you an all-day-snacker or dinnertime heavy loader), and medical indications and contraindications (i.e. we'll avoid stimulants in cases of heart conditions/ arrhythmias). The frequency and duration of your weight loss program will be decided together and will depend on how aggressive you want to be with the approach and your weight loss goals.
