I Want to Lose Weight Before Summer: Can You Help?

With summer on the not-too-distant horizon, you’ve decided that you want to welcome this season with fewer pounds. Whatever your reason and no matter the season, Dr. Ariel Soffer and the team here at Soffer Health Institute can help.

The fact is that the weight problem in the United States is big and getting even bigger. Currently, about 74% of adults in the US are overweight, which includes nearly 43% of people who have obesity. And the future isn’t looking brighter — experts predict that, by 2030, nearly half of adults in the US will have obesity.

Wherever you fall on this overall scale, you now have more resources than ever to tackle weight loss, and we offer them here.

On average, people lose between 5% and 15% of their body weight with GLP-1 medications.

Weight loss support beyond medications

At our practice, we don’t simply prescribe medications and then leave you to it. The flip side to the GLP-1 medications is that many people put the weight back on as soon as they stop taking them, which is why we offer the SimpleMD® program, which places the emphasis on sustained weight loss.

Through SimpleMD, we offer a multi-pronged approach to weight loss that includes:

By improving your nutrition and introducing exercise, we get you on a road that helps you lose the pounds, keep them off, and boost your health in almost every way. In fact, SimpleMD goes far beyond a weight loss regimen, as it gives you the tools you need for healthy living long into the future.

Personal experience with SimpleMD

It’s all well and good for us to tell you about the benefits of our SimpleMD weight loss program, but we really do know what we’re talking about. Our own Dr. Ariel Soffer has lost 40 pounds using SimpleMD weight loss, and he’s feeling great on every level.
