Medical Weight Loss

At MultiCare, we designed our Medical Weight-Loss Program specifically for individuals struggling with weight and weight-related chronic conditions. Our multidisciplinary team works with you to create a personalized plan aimed at helping you live a healthier, more joyful life.

To do this, we focus on the key medical and behavioral factors blocking your ability to lose weight. In addition to a full medical assessment by an obesity medicine doctor, we look at areas such as:

• Body composition (body fat percentage)
• Coping skills
• Emotional eating
• Food and meal preparation
• Gut health
• Physical activity
• Sleep health
• Stress eating

As well as losing weight, when you participate in the Medical Weight-Loss Program, you can also improve or completely resolve chronic health problems such as:

• Cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol
• Diabetes and insulin resistance
• Digestive problems
• GERD
• Gout
• Fatty liver
• Food sensitivities and allergies
• Hypertension
• Joint disease and arthritis
• Kidney stones
• PCOS
• Sleep apnea
