Medical Weight Loss

Losing weight starts with making important lifestyle choices about nutrition and exercise. If you’re ready to lose weight and keep it off for good, but you don’t want to have surgery, we can customize a weight loss program to help you meet your goals. With options such as medication, nutrition support, education and classes, you can maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life. Our team of dietitians and nurse practitioners will work with you to understand your health history and recommend a program tailored to fit your goals. Our non-surgical weight loss options at the Lutheran Weight Loss Center have helped motivate people like you to lose 1-20% of your total body weight.

Lifestyle Changes
Long-term weight loss is not a diet with a beginning and an end. It’s a lifelong commitment that must go hand in hand with lifestyle changes. Our programs focus on eating in a healthy manner that promotes weight loss and long-term weight maintenance.

We also recommend consistent exercise to help you manage your weight and feel strong and healthy. Our team of weight-loss specialists will work with you to develop a nutrition and exercise program to help you safely meet your health goals.

Nutritional Supplements
We offer a variety of nutritional supplements that you may choose to incorporate into your eating plan. They provide good nutrition, high-quality protein and lower calories than processed convenience foods. You may use our nutritional supplements as meal replacements, snacks or both under the supervision of your weight-loss team.

Medication for Weight Loss
Weight-loss medications are not miracle drugs, and they do not offer a simple cure. However, we use several medications as safe weight-loss tools that are part of a holistic treatment plan. Talk to your doctor about which medication, if any, could help you reach your weight-loss goal.
