The Medical Consultation


Your doctor will help identify causes and effects of excess weight, including so-called “obesogenic drugs” you may be taking. With the results of some blood tests, an evaluation for causes and effects After checking investigations and considering comorbidities (associated illnesses) your doctor may prescribe medications to help you on your journey.

Modern medicine identifies brain pathways controlling  hunger and satiety that vary from person to person. Some people are hungry more often and never seem to become full (satiated). Certain prescription medications can reduce food cravings and modify hunger and satiety. Some reduce addictive eating styles, improve mood, while others improve insulin resistance. You will receive a sleep assessment as this is an important factor for your healthy lifestyle. A detailed consultation takes into account your genetics, family history, and the important but limited contribution of lifestyle, nutrition and activity factors. Choice of medication is determined by considering comorbidities and personal preferences. 

You will develop new lifestyle habits with a deeper level of personal accountability as you stand on a monitored scale, daily for weight tracking. Your medications will be titrated until you are satisfied with your personal levels of hunger and satiety.  You will see the doctor for another detailed evaluation at 2 months into your program, unless concerns arise earlier. Continuous medical reevaluation and supervision is vital for your success.
