As a physician, I have a broad background in geriatric medicine, addiction care, and psychiatry. In these fields, I observe how physical health, behavior, and mental well-being continuously influence each other. In my work, I see that overweight often correlates with various factors. It is rarely an isolated problem. At the same time, I observe that being overweight not only poses long-term health risks but also impacts energy, mobility, physical complaints, and mental well-being in the short term.
What appeals to me about medical weight loss is the growing attention to these underlying processes. New insights and treatment options make it possible to treat more targeted, especially when previous attempts were insufficient. Medication can be a valuable addition here, as part of a broader approach.
In my guidance, I look beyond just weight. I find it important to understand what is at play and to work together on changes that fit a person's daily life, are achievable, and sustainable. My goal is for someone not only to feel physically healthier but also to experience more energy, self-confidence, and control in daily life.
