If you're overweight, just losing ten pounds can improve your health and possibly extend your life. While you may utilize fad diets for quick weight loss results, these diets aren't healthy as a long-term weight loss solution. You end up falling off the diet plan and gaining weight once again. However, at Suncoast Integrative Healthcare, we use healthy, evidence-based medical weight loss methods you can incorporate in your life as a lifelong weight loss and maintenance plan.
Who Benefits from Our Medical Weight Loss Program
We prefer to help patients who are at risk for health conditions. Generally, these individuals are the ones who have a BMI of 25 or more. You're more at risk for health issues like a heart attack, stroke, or diabetes when your BMI is higher, and your risks only increase as your BMI increases.
We feel utilizing natural weight loss methods is beneficial to those who don't want to undergo surgery, and those who are trying to lose weight without risky methods. We do also help people who just want to feel better about themselves.
Benefits of Weight Loss
Obviously, you'll feel much better about yourself when you're at a healthy weight. You'll have more confidence.

Besides diabetes and heart disease, researchers identified a link between some cancers and obesity. You might find you can get around better, and you won't feel as out of breath during physical activity.
