Medical Weight Loss Program

Losing weight can be challenging at the best of times, and some individuals may have a tougher time than others. If you have tried diet programs and exercise routines without success, or would simply like to supplement your existing program, medical weight loss could be the answer. This process creates a comprehensive health profile that can be used to determine the best course of action for you to lose weight! The National Institute of Health indicates that even losing 5% of your current weight can have incredibly profound improvements in your overall health!

The specialists at Nurturing You Women’s Health and Wellness meet with each of our weight loss patients and explore their medical and family history to gain a better understanding of what makes you unique. Our approach is unique because we implement a treatment plan that is based on various aspects of your genetics, lifestyle, and other predispositions.

How Much Weight Can I Lose?

The goal of the customized medical weight loss plan from Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness is for you to transform from the inside out. Just as you didn’t put those extra pounds on overnight, you won’t lose them overnight.

In general, Dr. Harris wants to see you lose weight slow and steadily, like one to two pounds per week (you may certainly lose more). By focusing on small weekly goals, you’ll get to your end goal and have a much higher success rate of keeping the weight off.

With the help of the dedicated team at Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness, you can feel better, look better, and be able to live better once you start your medical weight loss plan.

A weight-loss journey isn’t something you need to go through on your own. At Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness, in Corona, California, you will meet with Dr. Leita Harris who will assess your goals and current medical and hormonal status.
