Can Your Weight Loss Program Work with My Body Composition?
One-size-fits-all weight loss plans rarely deliver the results you want.
We’ve seen it time and time again. That’s why Dr. Hughan Frederick and our NILE Women’s Health Care team have developed a medical weight management program tailored to your unique body composition and metabolism.
This personalized approach helps women achieve and maintain their long-term weight loss goals. Whether you’re working to lose baby weight, address menopausal changes, or simply take back control of your health, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding body composition
Body composition refers to the fat, muscle, bone, and water percentages in your body. Unlike the number on a scale, body composition offers deeper insights into your health.
For instance, two people can weigh the same but have different body compositions. One may have more muscle mass and less fat, while the other could have a higher fat percentage. These differences affect your metabolic health, energy levels, and how your body responds to a weight loss program.
Healthy body composition isn’t just about aesthetics. High fat percentages are linked to health risks, such as diabetes, heart disease, and joint pain, while low muscle mass can lead to other challenges like decreased strength and slowed metabolism. Our program at NILE focuses on helping you achieve a healthier balance tailored to your needs.
How we tailor weight loss programs to your body
Weight loss for women calls for a plan that considers your body’s unique physiology and needs. Here’s how our innovative program works:
Comprehensive initial consultation
Your first visit includes an in-depth consultation with Dr. Frederick, focusing on your health, lifestyle, and goals. We assess your body composition using advanced tools to develop a personalized plan. This analysis helps identify your specific needs, like reducing fat percentage or building lean muscle.
Customized diet plans
Nutrition is the foundation of weight management, so we provide tailored meal plans that align with your metabolic needs and personal preferences. We also offer fully-prepared meal options that are both nutritious and delicious, such as Southern-Style Red Beans and Rice. These meals are ideal for women managing hectic schedules.
Metabolism-boosting treatments
If you’ve struggled with a slow metabolism, preparations like vitamin B12 injections and the HCG Diet may help enhance your body’s ability to burn calories effectively. Dr. Frederick carefully supervises these medical options to ensure they meet your health needs.
Hormone balancing
For women experiencing weight changes related to menopause, our program incorporates bioidentical hormone therapy to address hormonal imbalances. This can help regulate metabolism, reduce fat storage, and improve overall energy levels.
Bariatric surgery support
For women considering or recovering from bariatric surgery, Dr. Frederick performs the latest procedures using the most advanced techniques and offers personalized pre- and post-surgery care to maximize results.
Behavior and lifestyle coaching
Weight loss isn’t just physical; it requires mental and emotional strength. Our team educates and supports you with tips for navigating modern challenges like stress and busy schedules. By addressing your habits and lifestyle, we ensure your results are achievable and sustainable.
