If you’ve been trying to lose weight, you’ve probably come across those too-good-to-be-true promises like “lose 15 pounds overnight!” Whether or not you’ve tried these fads, it’s important to know that sudden, intense weight loss isn’t optimal for your long-term health. Weight loss marketing tends to prioritize short-term goals over long-term health. That’s where Valley Healthspan’s weight management program comes in.

Weight Loss is a Journey, Not a Destination

At Valley Healthspan, we believe weight loss is not an end in itself but a means to an end. Our ultimate goal is to optimize your health and increase your health span. We evaluate weight loss from the perspective of your overall health, focusing more on body composition than body mass index (BMI).

Factors like muscle mass and visceral fat are more important than actual weight. After all, a net loss of just 10 pounds is fantastic if it means you gain 5 pounds of muscle in the process.

A Weight Management Program for Everyone

Your medical history and personal lifestyle play a crucial role in your weight loss goals and the journey to achieve them, and everyone is different in this regard.

Our staff utilizes comprehensive laboratory analysis for metabolic and hormone function, a body composition analysis with DEXA scan, measurement of your resting metabolic rate, and other tests to tailor the ideal weight management program for you.

Modern Methods

Our weight management program includes individualized recommendations and one-on-one education in nutrition, fitness and exercise, nutraceuticals/supplements, and weight loss medications. This well-rounded approach ensures you achieve the results you desire while prioritizing your health.

If you’re interested in a weight management program that prioritizes long-term longevity and health span goals over rapid weight loss, contact Valley Healthspan today.
