Weight loss can be frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. Our medical weight loss program is designed for your success because we recognize that weight loss is more than eating less and exercising more. That mantra is of the past, we recognize that weight loss needs a multifaceted approach. Our team of board-certified nurse practitioner and Ph.D. biochemist, supported by two nationally recognized plastic surgeons and a full nursing team, as well as a nutritionist and physical therapist, can direct your treatment to attain your goals.
During our program for medical weight loss Vero Beach experts at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery provide comprehensive services, including thorough bloodwork analysis, nutritional analysis, and body composition analysis, ensuring a holistic approach to your weight loss journey. Based on your results and medical history, medications such as Semaglutide, hormone replacement therapy, and peptide therapy may be recommended. We also offer body contouring to enhance your outcomes.
As we age, our hormone production often decreases, leaving hormonal imbalances and suboptimal hormone levels for optimal health and body function. Hormone imbalances can cause weight gain and make weight loss difficult even when you’re doing all the right things. Optimizing your hormones can increase energy, increase muscle mass, and improve mood, among many other positive benefits. Some common hormones integral to a healthy weight are the levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, as well as their ratios to each other. Estrogen is responsible for regulating glucose and for determining how much and where fat is stored. Testosterone levels direct energy, lean muscle production, and improve mood, which can greatly affect your ability to lose and maintain a healthy weight. If you are a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement, we will discuss which treatment options are best for you, whether it’s topical cream, patches, pills, or pellets.
