How can weight loss benefit my health?
If you’re overweight or obese, losing extra weight can be extremely beneficial for your whole-body health. Even dropping 5-10% of your total body weight typically yields significant health benefits, including lower blood pressure, reduced blood cholesterol, and lower blood sugar levels.
Weight loss plays a big role in chronic care management, preventive care, and improving the outcomes when you have a systemic condition like diabetes. MUST Clinic is here to help you unlock the path to weight loss success so you can look and feel better.
What does the weight loss program include?
At MUST Clinic, you get comprehensive weight management.
Disease screening
Dr. Stallings begins by screening for underlying conditions, including diabetes and thyroid disease. Both diabetes and thyroid disease are endocrine disorders that can affect your weight, and they often occur at the same time.
You’ll also have a cholesterol blood test and body mass index (BMI) measurement. These biometrics are important in goal-setting and diet customization.
Nutrition support
Dr. Stallings recommends a treatment plan if you have a chronic disease, and she incorporates your weight loss plan into your approach. Your weight loss plan includes full nutrition support, which consists of customized diet recommendations, food shopping advice, and more.
Active movement
Active movement, aka exercise, is a great way to speed up your weight loss. It also has benefits for your overall wellness, like lowering your blood pressure, reducing heart disease risk, and preventing type 2 diabetes. After weight loss, exercise is important in maintaining your weight long term.
Emotional eating support
For many overweight and obese men and women, emotional eating — using unhealthy food for comfort when you’re stressed or sad — is a common issue. Dr. Stallings works with you to address emotional eating. She can help you identify your triggers and change behaviors to take control of your emotional eating.
At MUST Clinic, Dr. Stallings takes a whole-person approach to weight loss because it’s the best way to lay the groundwork for long-term success.
How often do I need to see the doctor for weight management?
It depends on your specific needs and medical situation. In general, regular weight management appointments are important because they give you the resources and support you need to succeed.
MUST Clinic makes weight loss support easy. Dr. Stallings comes to you in person or meets with you online through virtual appointments. All appointments start with a phone visit, and the mobile clinic is thoroughly clean and sanitized
