Medical Weight Loss
Diabetes & Medical Weight Loss
Medical Weight Loss is not surgery or diet pills. It is weight management based on medical, scientific evidence that targets the root causes of obesity and weight gain. Trained doctors or medical providers provide the treatment and guidance necessary to help you achieve weight loss and maintain it for life.
Q: Why should you add the CMWL program to your Diabetes Testing Centers clinic?
A: Patients, on average, lose 21 lbs. in 12 weeks without the use of medication.* Adding a GLP-1 once-weekly medication (e.g., Wegovy) may produce 15-20% weight loss.**
Provide patients with a fully personalized program and 1-on-1 care based on comprehensive CMWL program training.
Give patients the tools to maintain their weight loss for the LONG TERM through personalized behavioral counseling.
Generate significant incremental clinic revenue while increasing patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Q: Who benefits from medical weight loss?
A: Anyone concerned about their health
The United State Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that all adults get annual weight screenings.
Medical weight loss is designed to help any individual with his or her specific weight loss goals, whether to lose 100 pounds or those last stubborn ten pounds. It is especially beneficial for those who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher because it can reduce the risk of other serious medical conditions.
We Treat What Diets Can't!
The tools that medical weight loss providers use to help manage weight are evidence-based are very different from what you might find with commercial programs. Medical weight loss providers use a patient' s metabolism and body composition (mainly fat percentage) as true indicators of weight loss progress, something other plans can’t do. See the chart below for other differences…
* Insurance may cover your weight loss screening and follow-up behavioral counseling visits. Check with your insurance company and CMWL center for details.
