What is the difference between medical weight loss and other types of weight control? 

Medical weight loss at Ruth Odoi Internal Medicine is a physician-supervised approach designed to help you safely and effectively achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Instead of cookie-cutter advice, it considers your:

• Medical history
• Current health conditions
• Medications
• Lifestyle habits
• Metabolism
• Weight loss goals

Dr. Odoi develops a customized strategy to address factors making your weight loss more difficult and underlying health issues such as insulin resistance, diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Are you a good candidate for medical weight loss? 

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have a body mass index (BMI) that falls within the overweight or obese range
• Have obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol
• Have experienced repeated cycles of weight loss and regain
• Want a structured, medically supervised weight management plan
• Are seeking sustainable lifestyle changes rather than short-term results

Dr. Odoi can determine whether medical weight loss is a good option for you.

What can I expect from a personalized medical weight loss plan? 

A personalized medical weight loss plan begins with a comprehensive assessment of your health, weight history, lifestyle habits, and treatment goals.

Based on this evaluation, Dr. Odoi may recommend a combination of strategies, including:

• Nutritional guidance
• Exercise recommendations
• Behavior modification techniques
• Ongoing monitoring
• Prescription weight loss medications, in some cases

Throughout the process, Dr. Odoi tracks your results, makes adjustments as needed, and helps you overcome obstacles that may arise along the way. She aims to create realistic, sustainable habits that support your long-term weight management and overall wellness.

What are the medical weight loss benefits? 

Achieving and maintaining a healthier weight can provide benefits that extend far beyond appearance. Medical weight loss may help:

• Lower your risk of chronic diseases
• Improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels
• Enhance blood sugar control
• Increase energy
• Support better mobility

You may also experience improved confidence, sleep quality, and overall quality of life.
