"Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in our country," explained Rebecca Brobston, nurse practitioner at the Glen Allen location of the weight loss clinic that is changing—and saving—people’s lives. With its program of healthy eating and exercise, custom-tailored exactly for you, Medi-Weightloss Clinics® is helping people achieve the type of success people have long hoped the medical community would provide.
"A body mass index greater than 30 puts you at increased risk for developing heart disease," added Nurse Practitioner Nicole Bentivegna. "Many other serious health problems arise out of carrying excessive weight among them diabetes, hypertension and high blood pressure."
Patients are often surprised at how quickly they lose weight and reduce their dependence on medications to control blood pressure and other obesity-related health conditions under the care of physicians at Medi-Weightloss Clinics.
"A lot of patients are paying $300 or more in medication costs every month to treat weight-related disease," added Bentivegna. "Others have recently been to their family doctors, who want them to either go on medications or lose weight. Most people would prefer to lose the weight than to have to deal with medications, which practically always have a lot of side effects."
Linda, who lost 50 pounds in six months, told a typical Medi-Weightloss Clinics success story. "I just turned 63 and have been overweight all my life. I retired and gained 30 pounds, tipping the scale at 200 pounds. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. Medi-Weightloss Clinics supported me throughout. I totally eliminated two medications and reduced three others. It’s never too late and you’re never too old!"
"Because our program is based on the latest medical knowledge and technology, it addresses underlying health issues," pointed out Dr. Thomas Mead who, along with Dr. Danny Shaban, opened Medi-Weightloss Clinics franchises in Glen Allen, and now in Midlothian. "Our personalized program, supervised care and use of FDA-approved medications and dietary supplements give Medi-Weightloss Clinics the edge over other programs."
"Losing weight also helps people in other ways," pointed out Nurse Practitioner Emily Namesny of the Midlothian location. "Besides saving the costs of expensive tests and medications, there’s a lot less lost work time. We tell people how you can get the weight off and keep it off. Their physicians don’t always have time to teach them."
"It doesn’t matter if you’re 16 or 70," said Nicole Bentivegna. "Whether you want to get on the floor and play with the grandchildren or go to college feeling great, our goal at Medi-Weightloss Clinics is to help you lose weight quickly and safely. And to get you healthy while you’re doing it."
