La Chelé Lifestyle Medical Weight Loss Program
How many times have you worked so hard to lose a few pounds to just gain it right back? How often have you tried to lose weight, and feel that the scale number will not budge? Or when you’re looking in the mirror and feel discouraged to see so little gain for all the effort you have put forward in eating right and exercising?
At La Chelé’s Newtown, New Hope, Upper Dublin, and Ellis Preserve Lifestyle Medical Weight Loss Program, we understand and will work with you to create an individualized sustainable weight loss plan. This is an exciting era in Medical Weight-Loss. Over the past years, there have been major advancements for weight gain and obesity. Now it is possible to strive for LONGTERM successful and sustained weight loss. La Chelé has been fortunate to team up with weight loss expert, Dr. Erin Saltzman, a double board-certified Endocrinology and Bariatric Medicine (Medical Weight Loss Physician) along with our brilliant Maureen McSorley, MSN, APN, FNP-C, who has over 25 years of experience in wellness, specifically Hormone Optimization and Weight Loss. Both Providers have received extensive training in nutritional planning and the use of various prescriptive weight loss medications. Not every diet or exercise regimen is right for every patient. Our Providers do not believe in “weight loss supplements” or fad diets, and are experts in evidence-based weight loss medicine. We will ensure that you have the right tools for success based on your individual metabolic needs and lifestyle. Whether you need to lose a small or a significant amount of weight, our La Chelé team will work with you to achieve and maintain your goal.
In many cases, weight gain can be attributed to more than one cause and because of this, we have found that developing a multifaceted weight loss plan is the most effective and sustainable approach. Some of these factors include:
● Diet – Though bloodwork and food intake analysis, we can determine if certain nutritional deficiencies or surpluses could be playing a role in your weight gain
● Hormone Imbalance – Hormones play a key role in regulating our bodies so when they aren’t properly balanced, it can cause things like weight gain
● Stress & Lack of Sleep – Both stress and sleep have a major impact of our body’s natural functions, so when your body cannot rest and relax properly, it conserves energy by holding onto fat
● Exercise – When you are overweight exercise can be difficult both mentally and physically. Working to develop a practical yet effective routine for your body and mind can be that boost you need to meet your goals
● Other Underlying Conditions – Conditions like diabetes, heart disease and PCOS can also be a barrier for people trying to lose weight. Working to control these conditions and balance your body can help you shed that extra weight
Our Lifestyle Medical Weight Loss Program at La Chelé Medical offers a customized treatment plan for each individual patient. Customized weight loss treatment plans consider many variables. During a consultation, Dr. Saltzman will evaluate such variables as:
● Weight gain / weight loss history
● Diet and exercise history
● Medical / family / social / lifestyle history
● Waist circumference measurement
● Body composition measurements (lean body mass, percent body fat and visceral fat)
● BMI calculation
● Vital signs and targeted physical exam
● Metabolic lab evaluation (patients may bring any lab results from within 3 months of their initial consultation appointment for review. Dr. Saltzman may order additional metabolic lab work).
● Individual patient weight loss and weight maintenance goals
Our Medical Providers will synthesize this information and determine the root causes of the weight gain in order to generate an evidence-based, comprehensive weight loss and maintenance treatment plan. They will collaborate with each patient to develop a sustainable diet and exercise program. Depending on the amount of weight loss recommended, they may also prescribe certain weight loss medications as a part of the treatment plan. The ultimate goal is healthy and sustainable weight loss in order to prevent or treat weight-related medical conditions.
