Why is weight loss important?
If you’re overweight or obese, weight loss is important because reaching and maintaining a healthy weight benefits your physical, mental, and emotional health. Dr. Sra specializes in weight loss because she sees it as a preventive tool for many common health issues.�
Some of the benefits of weight loss include:
- Reduced blood pressure and blood cholesterol
- Less stress on joints
- Improved sleep
- Lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure
- Reduced risk of certain types of cancer
Weight loss also gives you a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem, and it may provide the push you need to pursue new job opportunities or social activities that can change your life.�
What can I expect during a weight loss consultation?
Dr. Sra conducts comprehensive examinations when you come to the office for a weight loss consultation. In addition to reviewing your medical history and conducting a physical exam, Dr. Sra also performs a biometric assessment to determine your body composition, and she uses the findings to develop your weight loss program and determine the best diet plan for you.
To better understand your weight struggles, Dr. Sra also reviews your weight history and the types of diets you’ve tried in the past. She also talks to you about your current diet and exercise routine.
