Is There a Right Way and Wrong Way to Lose Weight?

The weight problem in the United States is no small matter — about 74% of adults are overweight, including 43% who tip the scales into obesity. While many factors go into this weight issue, a significant one is the extraordinarily large failure rate of diets — a whopping 95%!

When you ask whether there’s a right way or wrong way to diet, the answer is a resounding “yes.”

Recognizing that the weight issue needs solutions that work, Dr. Leon Tio and the team at Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center offer a comprehensive weight loss program that includes the tools and resources you need to lose weight and keep it off.

Start with a consult

The first thing to understand about dieting and losing weight is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution as everyone has their own circumstances.

To start you on the right weight loss journey, we begin with a consultation, during which we review your health, your medical history, and your lifestyle. There are many different factors that can influence your ability to lose weight, such as imbalanced hormones or vitamin deficits.

Developing the right weight-loss toolkit

Once we establish a starting point, we can supply you with the right weight-loss tools — using only science-backed products and services to help you shed excess pounds.

This toolkit might include one or more of the following:

Kicking off with a fast

Fasting has long been a dieting tool, but it’s a tricky one because you can lose valuable muscle alongside the targeted fat. To get around this, we offer the Prolon® five-day fasting mimicking kit. This jumpstart to your weight loss cleanses your body while supplying critical protein for muscular health at the same time.

This initial fast sets the stage for cellular renewal and resets your metabolism so that you can move forward and lose weight more easily.

Taking GLP-1 weight loss drugs

It’s not often that we call something a game-changer, but GLP-1 medications certainly fit the bill when it comes to losing weight. Originally designed to help manage diabetes, these medications can also help patients lose between 10% and 20% of their overall body weight.

GLP-1 medications work by controlling your blood sugar levels, slowing the rate at which your stomach empties so you feel full for longer, and controlling hunger.

Getting the right nutrients

When you diet, you’re not eating as much, so you may start to miss out on some critical vitamins and nutrients that we can replenish through IV infusion therapy.

Professional help, positive results

Ultimately, our goal is to help you lose weight in a way that’s healthy and supports long-term results.
