One of the most significant advantages of medical weight loss is the level of personalized care. Each program is customized to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient, ensuring a higher success rate.
Being under the care of a board-certified physician like Dr. Kayla Milano means that your health is closely monitored. This reduces the risk of potential complications and ensures that any underlying medical conditions are managed effectively.
Unlike quick-fix diets, medical weight loss programs are designed for long-term success. They focus on sustainable lifestyle changes that help maintain weight loss over time.
Medical weight loss programs often incorporate various elements such as nutrition, exercise, behavioral therapy, and sometimes medications. This multi-faceted approach addresses all aspects of weight loss, making it more effective.
At California Concierge Medicine, our approach involves identifying and addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, or lifestyle factors. This ensures a more comprehensive and effective treatment plan.

Adopt a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
Incorporate at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can be effective.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support your metabolism.
Ensure you get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, as poor sleep can contribute to weight gain.
The first step is an initial consultation where we discuss your medical history, weight loss goals, and any previous attempts at weight loss. This helps us understand your unique needs and challenges.
We conduct a thorough evaluation, including lab tests, to identify any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to weight gain. This may involve blood tests, hormone level assessments, and metabolic rate evaluations.
Based on the evaluation, we develop a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, behavioral therapy, and possibly medications.
We provide continuous support and monitoring throughout your weight loss journey. Regular follow-up visits help track your progress, make necessary adjustments to your plan, and address any concerns you may have.
