Weight loss must be approached like any other chronic disease. Contrary to traditional diet culture, weight loss requires a consistent lifelong approach in order to be successful.
Once we understand this concept, it becomes clear how to treat it long-term.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
HORMONE OPTIMIZATION
Hormones run our lives. They determine how well you sleep, how easy it is to wake up, how alert you are, your digestive ability, whether or not you eliminate or store calories, and even when you feel hungry or full. At MTN HLTH, we utilize hormone replacement to help your body function better, trim fat, build lean mass, and regulate weight more consistently. We’ll help you determine which of your hormones need to be optimized. See our Hormone Optimization page to learn more.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Everyday movement and avoiding the temptation to be overly sedentary is a non-negotiable aspect of any human being who wants to thrive physically. But this should not be daunting or intimidating. It’s more simple and attainable than you may think.
NUTRITION
What you eat has a massive impact on your body composition and your overall health. There is nothing that will improve your health more than a healthy diet. There is no medication as powerful and impactful as a healthy diet. The question is: what constitutes a healthy diet? There are as many opinions as there are people. At MTN HLTH, we take a personalized approach to helping people optimize their diet and help make it a lifestyle of healthy eating that they can enjoy instead of relying on fad diets that cannot be sustained over time. We offer scientifically proven guidelines as a framework within which our patients can construct a nutrition plan that best suits them — we arm you with the knowledge and tools to create healthy eating habits, instead of “dieting.”
MEDICATIONS
Choosing a weight loss medication depends on the needs of the client. By-far the most popular weight-loss medications are semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound).
There are many other oral medications that can be useful tools in the fight to maintain a healthy weight. Finding out which one works for you requires an analysis of your symptoms, duration of obesity, lab values, and teamwork between you and the provider to find the best possible solution.
