Why Weight Loss Needs a Family Doctor's Supervision

When managing weight loss, especially with medications or big diet changes, the supervision of an Internal Medicine or Family Medicine specialist is essential. Our doctors look for and manage the common health issues that prevent weight loss:

• Medication Conflicts: We make sure your weight loss plan doesn’t interfere with medications for blood pressure or diabetes.

• Hormonal Roadblocks: Using knowledge from Endocrinology and Integrative Medicine, we check your thyroid and cortisol levels.

• Chronic Disease Management: Improving weight to directly treat conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Our Family Doctor Weight Loss Program in Sarasota, FL

Our approach is designed to be comprehensive, ensuring safety and results that last.

1. In-Depth Health Assessment

We start with a full physical exam and lab tests. This includes checking for chronic issues, assessing metabolic markers, and screening for hormonal imbalances. Your plan starts with a complete picture of your health, not a generic questionnaire.

3. Integrated Care Planning

Weight loss is linked to nearly every service we offer. Our doctors ensure your weight plan supports your Digestive Health, improves your sleep, and reduces stress, ensuring a holistic health benefit. We work to improve your overall health, not just the number on the scale.

FAQs

1. What makes a Family Doctor's approach to weight loss different?

• The biggest difference is safety and comprehensiveness. As your Family Doctor, our team at Center One Medical views weight management as part of your overall health—not just an aesthetic issue. We integrate your weight plan with the management of existing conditions like diabetes, heart issues, and hormone imbalances, ensuring the plan is safe and supports your total long-term well-being.

2. Do you use medicines like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

• Yes, we use FDA-approved medicines like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide when it’s safe and right for you. Unlike online programs, our Family Medicine physician carefully watches your progress and adjusts the plan as needed, combined with personalized nutrition counseling and metabolic testing for the safest, most effective results.

3. Is the weight loss program at Center One Medical covered by insurance?

• While coverage varies greatly, the initial comprehensive physical exam, blood work, and consultations with our physicians are often covered under your existing Internal Medicine or Family Medicine benefits. Specific program fees, medications, or specialized Nutrition Counseling may be separate. We recommend calling your insurance provider or our office directly to verify your coverage details before your first visit.

4. Why do you test metabolism and hormones?

• Metabolic and hormone testing is the foundation of our approach. We test for key issues like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and high cortisol (the stress hormone) because these imbalances often make weight loss nearly impossible, even with diet and exercise. By identifying the root cause, we can customize a medical plan that actually corrects the underlying biology.

5. How long does the weight loss program last?

• The goal is always sustainability, not a quick fix. Our program involves a highly structured initial phase (often 3-6 months) where we focus on rapid, medically safe weight reduction. This is followed by a maintenance phase focused on continuous Nutrition Counseling and habit reinforcement to ensure the weight stays off long-term.
