At HEALTH PLUS we offer a comprehensive medical weight management program based on sound scientific principles. We utilize a combination of one-on-one counseling, a healthy diet, an individualized exercise program and prescription medication. Our program is designed to give you the tools you need to be successful. We know that weight loss is a difficult process, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Can I eat real food?
Absolutely! At HEALTH PLUS we know that no one can stick to a diet that does not taste good and does not satisfy your cravings. Our patients eat real food that can be purchased in any grocery store. It may be a little healthier than what you’ve been eating, but it will be tasty, healthy, and plentiful.

Will I be hungry?
No! The diet changes that we promote do not require calorie counting or starvation. Rather, we have found that weight loss can be achieved by making healthier food choices. In fact, you may actually find that you can eat more food than you are used to and still lose weight.

What about medication?
When appropriate, we prescribe safe and effective weight loss medication. We believe that medication, when used together with lifestyle modifications, can play a role in helping you lose weight and keep it off. Patients are carefully and regularly monitored while on medication.

What about exercise?
For many people exercise is a dirty word. We recognize that not everybody is an athlete. We also recognize that work and family obligations often make it unrealistic to “work-out” on a regular basis. With this in mind, we encourage increased activity, not necessarily formal exercise. At HEALTH PLUS we help you design an exercise program that is individualized and makes sense for you.

Once I reach my desired weight, what then?
We will continue to support you with an individualized, low-cost maintenance program for as long as you want.

Will I regain the weight I lose?
No! Many weight loss programs are ineffective because they involve fasting or fad diets that are impossible to maintain. At HEALTH PLUS our focus is on teaching you healthy lifestyle modifications that make permanent weight loss an achievable goal.

Is HEALTH PLUS affordable?
Yes. Patients pay a competitively-priced monthly fee. There are no contracts, signup fees, or other hidden costs. In fact, many of our patients find that they save more on their monthly grocery bill than the program costs them.

What if I have other medical problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure?
At HEALTH PLUS we have years of experience helping individuals with diabetes and other chronic illnesses live healthier lives. Because our focus is on health, and because we are staffed by licensed health professionals, our program is ideally suited to help you manage many different health problems. Excess weight often contributes to chronic disease, therefore, losing weight may enable you to reduce or even eliminate the medications you are taking for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or other illnesses.
