Weight loss has become a central conversation in healthcare. At every visit with a primary care doctor, patients are asked to step on the scale, and the discussion about healthy weight goals starts. This conversation usually involves providing a target weight for patients to achieve a healthy BMI. Reaching these targets is rarely simple. Even losing 5 to 10 pounds can feel challenging; when the goal is significantly higher, it can feel outright
overwhelming.
Traditionally, healthcare providers will discuss diet and exercise as the primary tools to achieve a healthy weight. But if willpower, dieting and exercise alone were sufficient, weight loss would be far more achievable. Today, with over 70% of Americans classified as overweight or obese, standard advice is not enough.
Our society is inundated with food everywhere we turn. At gatherings, celebrations, sporting events, and parties, there is always an abundance of food. Even during times of hardship and sorrow, we use food as a way to provide comfort. Over time, our connection to eating can shift from necessity to emotional reliance or compulsive habits. Unlike other habits, however, we cannot simply abstain from food; we need it to survive. Re-establishing a balanced, healthy relationship with food requires structure, strategy, and actionable tools.

In addition to lower numbers on the scale, other medical conditions are often improved with weight loss. It’s not only primary care physicians that are concerned about a healthy weight but instead all areas of medicine discuss this with patients. Cardiologists are concerned about increased cardiovascular risk with weight gain. Pulmonologists worry about the risk of sleep apnea and proper ventilation with added weight. Even surgeons
worry about the increased risk of anesthesia in overweight patients and complications such as delayed recovery and slow wound healing.
