Our country is in a crisis, an obesity crisis. This new cry of health concern has made its way all the way up to the Surgeon General of the United States. Currently 61% of Americans are either overweight or obese. This is staggering. We need help. That’s why The Health Centers has developed a medically supervised weight loss plan. Many of us struggle with our weight, some are successful, but most of us need help to get it off. What better way than with the help of a medical doctor.

During your first visit, Dr. Anslinger will perform a thorough health history and medical exam. He will also order specific blood tests and urinalysis, perform a body fat analysis and composition an EKG and heart tracing test.

After the doctor has evaluated the test results, he will explain the toll the added weight has taken on your body and formulate a plan to help you return to your normal weight. You will be given diet and exercise guidelines along with certain medications to help control your appetite and burn fat more readily. These programs are safe and the medication will only be given as you keep your weekly weigh in appointments.

During your weekly weigh in appointments you will meet with the doctor and discuss any concerns or questions you may have. Dr. Anslinger will also perform a check-up and document your personal weight loss. At that time he may make adjustments to your program or medications depending on your specific condition.

Weight loss can be easy if you get the medical help you need!
