Health & Medical Information*

How do various medical conditions affect how you lose or gain weight? What if you’re diabetic? Suffering from depression or stress? Hypertension? Suppose your cholesterol levels are very high and you need a “heart healthy” diet? Which weight loss programs can accommodate persons with these medical conditions and others, and have healthcare professionals on staff to assist you? Not all of them do. Would a medical weight loss program be better for you than a fad diet or commercial “one plan fits all” approach?
