– PERSONALIZED AND PROFESSIONAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT –
Are you struggling to lose weight on your own? Have you tried different diets and exercise programs, but nothing seems to work? Do you have health problems related to your weight, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease? If so, you may benefit from medical weight loss, a comprehensive and personalized approach to weight management that involves the support and guidance of a healthcare professional.
Medical weight loss is the process of losing weight with the help and guidance of a healthcare professional, typically a doctor. The doctor uses their knowledge and medical experience to help the individual attempting to lose weight to create a realistic plan that meets their unique circumstances.
Medical weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It takes into account your medical history, current health status, lifestyle habits, food preferences, and motivation level. It also involves regular monitoring and feedback from the doctor to ensure your safety and progress.

You will then start following the program with Athena’s support and guidance. You will meet with her regularly (usually every week or every other week) to monitor your progress, receive feedback, make adjustments if needed, address any concerns or questions, and celebrate your achievements.
You will also have access to other resources and services at Get Up and Glo Medspa that can enhance your medical weight loss experience, such as:
