Weight Loss
Having a healthy weight is about more than looking good. It’s about feeling good mentally and physically. When you’re in a healthy weight range, you have a lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even some forms of cancer.
About 70 percent of American adults are overweight or have obesity. Extra weight may put people at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and certain cancers. Research shows that even a modest weight loss of 5 percent can result in health benefits.
Getting there and staying there can be hard work. But you’re not alone.
Dr. Jessica Adkins offers customized plans to help adult patients achieve and maintain weight loss. The plans may include weight loss techniques, dietary changes, exercise programs, and behavior modifications, as well as support groups and educational lectures. Research has shown that combining a variety of weight loss and management techniques increases an individual’s chance of long-term success. Her goal is to help you adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Jessica Adkins understands that each patient is different, and personalized care using both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options are necessary. Your weight loss journey will begin with a consultation with Dr. Adkins who will partner with you to understand your specific needs and goals to be able to design a weight loss plan that is unique for you.
