Weight Loss Specialist

What are my options for weight loss?

As a family medicine practice that combines traditional medicine with evidence-based alternative treatments, Dr. Comstock offers a number of treatment options to help you reach your weight loss goals, including:

• Nutrition counseling
• Fitness and lifestyle management
• Supplements

Most importantly, Dr.Comstock develops a plan specific to you. He knows how hard you struggle with your weight and wants you to succeed.

What type of diet and exercise plan is available?

Dr. Comstock doesn’t offer a standard diet and exercise package. Instead, he develops a personalized plan based on your individual needs. When it comes to weight loss, no one plan fits all.

However, as a holistic practitioner, Dr.Comstock encourages a balanced and healthy diet filled with a variety of nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and heart-healthy fats. He works with you to develop an eating plan and pattern that fits your personal tastes and schedule.

He recommends you get physical activity most days of the week and suggests types of exercises that fit your individual fitness needs. He may start you out slow on your fitness routine to help you build stamina and strength. Keeping fitness goals reasonable also helps keep you motivated.

Do you prescribe medication for weight loss?

Dr.Comstock does not typically prescribe weight loss medications. He prefers the patient work on healthy eating, along with increasing physical activity, managing sleep, and management of stress.

Losing weight does more than improve your self-image and self-esteem; it offers a number of health benefits, including:

• Reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes
• Lowering your blood pressure or cholesterol
• Lessening joint and muscle pain
