Weight Management

Am I a candidate for weight management?

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Sean P. Nikravan, MD, FACE, to see if you’re a candidate for weight management. 

Though weight loss is a major part of weight management, the goal of the program is to help you get to a healthy weight and stay there. 

If you’re overweight, obese, or keep losing and gaining the same 10 pounds over and over again, then you may be a candidate for the weight-management program with Dr. Sean P. Nikravan, MD, FACE.

With weight management at the state-of-the-art endocrinology practice, you get access to metabolic experts, as well as internists and professional therapists who have specialized training in eating disorders.

What are the benefits of weight management?

Weight management with Dr. Sean P. Nikravan, MD, FACE, helps you take control of your weight and your health and offers many benefits. 

Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing chronic health issues like diabetes and heart disease. It also affects fertility and may complicate childbirth. Losing excess body weight and maintaining a healthy weight lowers your risk of developing these health complications.

It also improves joint health, sleep, and libido — not to mention your self-esteem and self-confidence. Weight loss may also improve the management of hormone disorders like thyroid disease and low testosterone.

Benefits of losing weight:

• Joint pain will decrease
• Libido will increase
• Stronger immune system
• Healthy body
• Improved confidence

When you provide your body with healthy foods and more fruits and vegetables, weight loss is not the only benefit. Our immune system thrives on good nutrition, and a strong immune system helps to fight germs, which means you will get fewer colds. And if you do feel sick, symptoms will be mild and last for a shorter period of time.

Another great benefit of weight loss is improved quality of sleep, and reducing the risk of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is when the airway is blocked when you sleep, ultimately affecting your breathing and metabolism.

Weight loss is a significant part of a total weight management plan, but it is also so much more. For instance, a personalized diet and exercise plan is tailored to your needs and schedule. You will also learn how to prepare healthy and delicious meals.

What can I expect from weight management?

You can expect attentive and personalized care from the weight management program at Dr. Sean P. Nikravan, MD, FACE. 

Before making any treatment recommendations, you receive an assessment that includes your current body measurements, food habits, and physical activity. This information helps to create your personalized plan and aids in progress monitoring.

With weight management, you get:

• A personalized diet plan that’s high in nutritional value and satisfies cravings
• A personalized fitness plan that matches your schedule and physical abilities
• One-on-one supervision
• Education on how to prepare healthy and delicious meals

Weight management also aims to help reduce your reliance on any prescription medications you take to manage various health conditions, like oral hypoglycemics for diabetes.

Most importantly, you have a customized weight management program that meets your needs and goals, including tailored education and support.
