What is Integrative Weight Loss?
Integrative weight loss combines regular medical treatments with other therapies to address the reasons behind weight gain and aim for lasting weight loss. Instead of just looking at diet and exercise, integrative weight loss also considers things like hormones, metabolism, nutrients, and emotions such as stress or emotional eating that could get in the way of losing weight. By looking at these things together, integrative weight loss wants to improve overall health while helping people reach their weight goals for the long term.
