Trying to lose weight can be frustrating and confusing
At the Guthrie Weight Loss Center, you’ll work closely with a physician, registered dietitian, fitness specialist and psychologist to safely lose weight and develop the skills to maintain a healthy weight. Our team also includes nurse practitioners as well as nursing and support staff who are here to answer questions and lend support and care.
Weight loss tools
We help you identify the tools and give you the support you need for success.
Diet Management
Our weight loss physician and registered dietician will work with you to understand your current diet and assemble modifications that will encourage weight loss.
Medications
Our weight loss physician will take a closer look at medications you’re currently taking to look for any that may be impacting water retention and for other impacts on your weight and health. In certain cases, our team may recommend appetite suppressant medications for short-term use. There is no miracle pill for obesity, and appetite suppressant medication should only be taken under the supervision of a medical professional as a component to a more comprehensive weight loss plan.
Behavior Modification
Patients work with our weight loss physician and in-house fitness expert to identify behaviors and lifestyle habits that can be changed to aid in weight loss.
