Medical support for lasting weight loss
Excess weight is influenced by biology as much as habits. Hormones, metabolism, genetics, and stress all play a role, which is why willpower alone often isn’t enough.
Medical weight management uses proven tools, including modern medications, to work with your body rather than against it.
At KDR, we combine treatment with ongoing support to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight.
Schedule a consultationWhat is obesity?
Obesity is a chronic health condition defined by excess body fat that can affect overall health. It’s commonly assessed with body mass index (BMI) along with other measures like waist size and health history. Obesity raises the risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain, and even modest weight loss can improve these risks.
What contributes to weight gain?
Many factors are involved, including:
- Genetics
- Hormone changes
- Slower metabolism
- Stress and poor sleep
- Certain medications
Understanding your contributors helps us choose the most effective plan.
