Our
Philosophy
For more than 30 years we have had the
opportunity to help people achieve their weight
loss goals and we are confident that you, too,
will be one of our next amazing success stories!
We believe that in order for you to succeed, you
must first be given a detailed overview of the
journey you are about to embark upon. Here’s
what you can expect while on our program…
Comprehensive Approach
We offer a comprehensive weight loss program designed for your
long-term health. We begin with a medical
screening which includes a physical exam,
behavioral health assessment, complete lab work,
EKG, and measurements of body inches, body fat
percentage, and body mass index. As members of
the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP),
we have received special training in the medical
treatment of diet and nutrition, exercise,
behavior modification, and the use of appetite
suppressants and other appropriate weight loss
medications.
Safe
Medication Usage
The Broadway Clinic
follows the revised ASBP
recommendations. Prescription appetite
suppressant medications are reserved for
patients with a body mass index (BMI)
of 30 or greater, a
BMI of 27 with at least one
cardiac risk factor (high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, or diabetes), or an abnormal body
fat composition. Additionally, every time a
prescription weight loss medication is
dispensed, the patient will be seen by a
provider (physician, P.A., or Nurse
Practitioner). This enables us to provide you
with higher quality care and a safer, more
effective weight loss regimen. Please understand
that even though you may not qualify for
appetite suppressant medications, you are still
a candidate for another of our weight loss
programs.
Regulated
Treatment Time
Appetite suppressant medications are generally prescribed for the
short-term use of 12 weeks. Weight loss during
this 12 week cycle averages between 20 to 30
pounds but becomes more difficult during the
last few weeks as your body builds up a
tolerance to these medications over time.
For this reason, we may stop the use of
appetite suppressant medications after 12 weeks
and substitute with an alternative weight loss
medication and/or nutritional supplement for one
month before beginning another 12-week cycle of
appetite suppressant medications. Not only is
this a safer method of treatment, but it also
proves to be more effective. We do consider
risks vs. benefits and often allow patients to
stay on the medication for longer periods of
time as long as they are not having any side
effects and are consistently losing weight.
Please remember that
our goal is to help you achieve
your
weight loss goals so please trust our medical
training and weight loss experience to find the
safest, most innovative approaches.
Nutritional Support
Based on research studies and our own experience, we believe
clients have more success when they supplement
their diet with key nutrients. In fact, studies
show several nutrients improve the body’s
ability to use fat for fuel. We offer a variety
of food products and nutritional supplements to
enhance weight loss.
Exercise Guidance
Although the term “weight loss” is the common goal, our goal is to
help you lose body fat and increase lean muscle
mass. Exercise is important in maintaining
muscle mass and increasing metabolism.
It is the greatest predictor of
maintenance after weight loss.
Behavior Modification
While we do have programs that produce fast results, we do not
promote a “quick fix” mentality. In order to
become healthier, you must focus on long-term
lifestyle modifications and be committed to
making the changes necessary to promote optimal
health.
Realistic Expectations
Therapy should not be expected to achieve the “ideal” body weight
often set as a measure of success. A modest
weight loss can offer profound benefits in
preventing or delaying the onset of medical
problems and should be viewed as successful. A
realistic goal is 10% weight loss from your
initial weight.
Accountability
Monthly follow-ups are an important part of your success. These
visits not only assist you in remaining engaged
and committed to the program, but they also
allow us to monitor your progress and overall
health.
While we strive to be as timely as possible, we
ask that you please allow one hour for us to
check your weight and other vitals, discuss
weight loss progress, and refill or adjust
medication(s).
Affordability
We never want cost to be the reason you are not able to participate
in one of our programs. Your health is too
important. We offer
Care
Credit, a company that provides
interest-free payment plans with no up-front
costs for those who qualify.
Education
Education is the cornerstone of our programs. Please ensure that
you understand the program you are on and
discuss any questions or concerns with a
provider. If you don’t know the directions, you
will never arrive at your destination. At
lastly, remember to take one day at a time, have
fun, and let
The
Broadway Clinic be your support!
