Are you reflecting on habits you’d like to change in the new year? Losing excess weight can improve energy, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and increase confidence — but for many people, traditional dieting and exercise plans alone don’t deliver lasting results. That’s where a medical weight loss program can make a real difference.
At Ross Medical Group, we offer weight loss and wellness services to support each of our patients with personalized care, evidence-based strategies, and ongoing guidance that goes beyond “eat less, move more.” But what exactly does a medical weight loss program involve, and how can you tell if it’s right for you? Start here.
Your body weight is influenced by a huge number of factors, from diet and activity to hormones, chronic conditions, and more. Medical weight loss is a comprehensive approach that combines medical expertise with individualized lifestyle guidance, because no single weight loss program works for every body.
Instead of guessing which diet or exercise routine will work best for you, you work with trained healthcare providers to identify the root causes of your weight challenges and build a plan tailored to your body, metabolism, lifestyle, and health goals. Our medical weight loss programs typically include:
Our goal is sustainable change and improved overall health, not just short-term results. We’ll cover topics like previous weight loss attempts, your lifestyle, and any obstacles you might face. Then, we work with you to create a flexible, realistic nutrition and exercise plan for your body.
We also address behavioral topics, like emotional eating, stress, sleep patterns, and other lifestyle factors that influence weight. Most importantly, you won’t be left on your own — regular check-ins allow your care team to monitor progress and make timely adjustments to your plan.
One of the biggest benefits of medical weight loss is that it’s completely customizable to fit your body and your goals, making it a great option for many people looking to reach a healthy weight. It might be particularly helpful for you if:
If cutting calories and amping up workouts alone haven’t delivered the results you’ve sought, a structured medical weight loss plan can identify obstacles like metabolic adaptation or hormonal imbalance and give you a more effective strategy to shed the weight.
Many chronic conditions, like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and even joint pain, can improve with weight loss. A medical program can help you lose weight safely to improve your overall well-being while considering these health factors.
Losing weight isn’t easy. Having the support of a team that tracks your progress, answers questions, and makes changes when needed can help you stay motivated to reach your goals.
Some people benefit from clinically approved medications or treatments that can accelerate weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes, including Wegovy®, Zepbound™, and Ozempic®. Only a medical provider can prescribe and monitor these options safely.
If you’re ready to make 2026 a year of meaningful change, it’s worth exploring a medical weight loss program. Our team at Ross Medical Group is here to help you understand your options, clarify your goals, and build a weight loss plan that fits your life.
